A Warlord is a specific Caste for Males of theBlood .
Anne Bishop describes Warlords in the beginning of her books as: A Jeweled male equal in status to a witch. Warlords can have any jewel though the caste itself is noted to be far less dangerous and viscious than those of the Princes and especially Warlord Princes. While they are protective and powerful Warlords lack the aggression of their the higher castes.
