{{Quote|Indeed, many a prideful [[chieftain]] has forgotten who their work should be enriching and have wound up on the receiving end of a Warlord’s personally-fashioned [[gravity hammer]].|[[Jeff Easterling]] on Jiralhanae Warlords.{{Ref/Site|Id=atw|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/the-art-of-war-s|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Canon Fodder: The Art of War(s)|D=18|M=6|Y=2021}}}}

'''Jiralhanae Warlords''' are a class of favored [[Jiralhanae]] [[Jiralhanae Captain|Captains]] and [[Jiralhanae Chieftain|Chieftains]] champions serving in the [[Banished]].{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22p427}}{{Ref/Reuse|PLH}}

Banished warlords have the privilege of tailoring their armor and equipment according to their own preference, but those recently appointed to this role are often dignified with a [[Ultra-class armor|silver armor]] that harkens back to the Covenant of an earlier age.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22p427}} This specific design actually predates both Banished and Covenant, and was worn by the most renowned pack leaders during the dark times of the [[First Immolation]].{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22p427}} Most notably, Pavium features his own unique [[Chieftain power armor|Warlord Chieftain power armor]] gifted by Decimus.{{Ref/Site|Id=back|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/back-mentality|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Back Mentality|D=22|M=8|Y=2021}}

Jiralhanae Warlord Chieftains under Decimus' command within the core group of the Banished are armed with [[Type-2 gravity hammer]]s and are usually equipped with energy shields to supplement their already-heavy armor and hides.{{Ref/Reuse|PLH}} Those gravity hammers may rather be a warlord’s [[Type-2 gravity hammer#Variants|personally-fashioned unique gravity hammers]], which are wielded by many prideful Jiralhanae chieftains who have forgotten which their work should be enriching, and have wound up on the receiving end of these gravity hammers.{{Ref/Reuse|PLH}} These modified gravity hammers emit a massive shockwave which damages and stuns all nearby ground units.{{Ref/Reuse|PLH}} Jiralhanae Warlord Captains under [[Escharum]] are armed with [[Forerunner]] [[heatwave]]s, while their chieftain counterparts are armed with gravity hammers or [[Scrap Cannon]]s. Both variants carry [[spike grenade]]s.{{Ref/Reuse|Inf}}

In ''Halo Infinite'' Jiralhanae Warlords are silver-armored [[Jiralhanae Captain|Captain]]s or [[Jiralhanae Chieftain|Chieftain]]s.{{Ref/Site|Id=CFHVT|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/news/canon-fodder-high-value-histories|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Canon Fodder - High Value Histories|D=08|M=09|Y=2022}} Warlord Captains are armed with [[Heatwave]]s, while Warlord Chieftains are armed with [[Scrap Cannon]]s or [[Type-2 gravity hammer|gravity hammer]]s. Like other Jiralhanae, Warlords carry [[Type-2 spike grenade|spike grenade]]s.

In ''[[Halo Wars 2 Open Beta]]'' and ''[[Halo Wars 2 - Blitz Beta|Blitz Beta]]'', Jiralhanae Warlords wear the same armor as [[Atriox's Chosen]].{{Ref/Game|HW2|Part=[[Halo Wars 2 Open Beta|Open Beta]]|Detail=[[:File:HW2B Banished Warlord.png|Brute Warlord 3D model]]}}
