(Undoing previous edits: the very pages being sourced explicitly note that warlords can lead legions; "If a Banished captain has been chosen and promoted to the head of a clan or legion, they have earned the highly esteemed mantle of warlord". Warlords are also noted to have crossover with Chieftains in the same paragraph, meaning that both can attain the title of Legionmaster.)

Legionmasters are Jiralhanae senior officers within the military hierarchy of the Banished. They consist of Chieftains and Warlords granted charge of a legion - a clan within the Banished identified as having an unparalleled skill in battle. Legionmasters generally operate directly under the authority of their War Chief, though are entrusted with autonomy to operate independently provided they achieve the goals they are assigned.[1] As is standard within the Banished, legionmasters must often jostle with their fellow competing warlords and shipmasters for position and power within their assigned sphere of influence.[2]
