Ilneval was the orc god of strategic warfare and patron of orc captains,[4][6] symbolizing the race's combative nature.[7] He was the archetypal leader in front who unflinchingly lead the charge,[8][5] embodying the orcish tactic of overwhelming numbers,[7] and the Horde Leader was revered by those that saw the wisdom in that strategy.[1] With bloodied blade in hand, he called those that understood the flow of battle to sit around his council fire and learn the ways of the War Maker.[1] [3]
