Inside the Hall of Legends there is a plaque of the once military ranks of the Horde military. These ranks were removed with the release of Burning Crusade. Those whom obtained the ranks in the past get to keep them.

If anyone is curious, as someone with Army experience, I've attempted to translate what the ranks compare to in the American Army.

Enlisted:, As in the modern military, these would be your essential soldiers. They carry out the orders and make stuff happen.

Scout: This seems like the "Private" rank, and would probably be the equivalent of E1-E2, or Private (PVT) and Private Second Class (PV2).
Grunt: As the next step up from Private, and with two chevrons, I would guess this represents E3-E4, or Private First Class (PFC) and Specialist/Corporal (SPC/CPL).
Sergeant: Naturally, this would be the Sergeant rank, but based on my own experience, it'd probably be both E5 and E6, because the gap between them is relatively small. That's Sergeant (SGT) and Staff Sergeant (SSG).
Senior Sergeant: This one's a bit more difficult. The Alliance rank is Master Sergeant, which is an E8, but then the next rank for the Horde is called a First Sergeant, which is also an E8. So let's say this one is E7-E8, but with the provision that those are Sergeant First Class (SFC) and Master Sergeant (MSG).
First Sergeant: As mentioned, First Sergeant is an E8 rank, while the Alliance's equivalent rank, Sergeant Major, is an E9. So let's say that this rank represents the leadership sides of those pay grades, and say the equivalent is more or less E8-E9, where those are First Sergeant (1SG) and Command Sergeant Major (CSM).

Officers: This one is fairly easy, because there is only one less officer grade in-game as there are in the American military. So let's translate them right across the board.

Stone Guard:Second Lieutenant (2LT)
Blood Guard: First Lieutenant (1LT)
Legionnaire: Captain (CPT)
Centurion: Major (MAJ)
Champion: Lieutenant Colonel (LTC)
Lieutenant General: Colonel (COL)
General: Brigadier General (BG), Major General (MG)
Warlord: Lieutenant General (LTG)
High Warlord: General (GEN)

Hope that helps anyone who wants to use this for RP purposes! :D

I couldn't find this object at the specified location. Is it removed from the game?
