MILITARY RANKS

Because of the pervasive military influence of the Azeryan Empire, the Azeri names for military ranks are in common use throughout Northwestern Lythia.
Enlisted Ranks
Five enlisted ranks are in general use. These are rarely filled by nobles, who would consider them beneath their station.
Molak: the common soldier. Status and remuneration vary according to special skills and unit type.
Arkalin: commands a manus of five men; himself and four Molaks.
Melbrin: commands a decad of ten men; himself, one Arkalin, and eight Molaks.
Molarin: commands a company of twenty men; himself, one Melbrin, two Arkalins, and sixteen Molaks. A cavalry Molarin commands a squadron.
Armolarin: the most senior Molarin in a centad. He is the principal liaison between officers and men, and is often the “real” commander of a Centad.
Officer Ranks
Officers are gentlemen. A commoner rising to officer rank is also invariably knighted. There is widespread belief that leaders must be noble, although there is no law to that effect. Five officer ranks exist: 
Hulhurin: junior staff officer, and deputy commander of a Centad. May also command an auxiliary company.
Hethrin: commander of a Centad, or a Cohort staff officer.
Kurlin: senior staff officer, and deputy commander of a Cohort. 
Berheth: commander of a Cohort.
Tharin: commander of a Legion, which has two or more Cohorts.
Cavalry Ranks 
Light horse units have the same ranks as infantry officers, except there is no Decad command. Medium and Heavy horse units differ at Manus and Squadron level.
Chalasir: any trooper in a medium or heavy horse unit. A manus will be commanded by a senior Chalisir.
Kephiri: commander of a Squadron of medium or heavy horse.
