It also makes a lot of sense to combine the two positions: a chief warlord is the second most powerful unit of a side and has a lot of influence in military and diplomatic strategic and acts in many ways as replacement for the overlord. Also the chief warlord is by definition and natural thinkamancy the most loyal person and therefore less likely to plan regicide. <br>	+

An Overlord is a Ruler that is not a Royal.

Proposed Canon

Known Overlords include:

• Stanley the Tool of Gobwin Knob
• Charlie of Charlescomm
• Overlord Firebaugh of Goodminton (http://www.erfworld.com/2011/10/inner-peace-through-superior-firepower-episode-001/)

Speculation

Sides run by Overlords rather than Royals can't pop Royal or Noble units.
