"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.^[1]

Jiralhanae Warlords are a class of Jiralhanae Chieftains serving in the Banished. Warlords have been promoted by Decimus for their raw strength, savage lust for battle, and the complete absence of mercy to serve as loyal agents positioned to intercede on the Banished leaders’ behalf to bring recalcitrant packs to heel and direct critical faction operations. Answerable only to Atriox and Decimus, Warlords are feared by many lower-ranking Jiralhanae and hated by Let 'Volir’s troops.^[1]^[2]
