 [1] 
Ilneval is the loyal right hand of Gruumsh. He is the god who plans the attacks and devises the strategies [for] the forces of Gruumsh… Skilled Strategists. Orcs that show aptitude for the nuances of warfare at an early age are considered chosen by Ilneval and are groomed to serve as blades of Ilneval (battle captains)…

 [3] 
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]
