The Ranks measure a warrior's strength, skill, and political influence. They are granted and regulated by the Council, though whispers say gold and favors sway their decisions as much as merit.
Ranks F— No fighter
Rank E — Low level fighters
Rank D — Street-level fighters, mercenaries, city guards.
Rank C — Recognized combatants with specialized skills, often working for guilds or minor lords.
Rank B — Elite warriors capable of handling small-scale threats alone; often commanders of mercenary companies.
Rank A — Highly dangerous individuals trusted with major missions. Few number more than a dozen in Valenport.
Rank S — Legendary fighters whose names carry weight across nations.
Rank SS — Mythic-tier individuals, capable of bending battles and politics with their presence alone.
Rank SSS — The pinnacle. Only a handful have reached this rank in recorded history. Kael was among them before his fall.
