Bestigor
Bestigors are the strongest and meanest of the Gors, being given positions of great power and privilege within the Brayherds.[1a]

Hierarchy
Bestigors are the strongest gor-kin in a tribe and are the first to sift through the wreckage of each raid. Therefore, they are able to take the best weapons and armour for themselves, either from the corpses of those they have slain or by stripping equipment from their own fallen kin. Bestigors often act as bodyguards for their Beastlord. There is irony in this, for the gravest challenge to a Beastlord's dominance will almost always arise from the Bestigor ranks. Yet, for as long as the Beastlord can use their strength and intimidating prowess to keep the Bestigors in line, the beastmen will smash and crush their enemies, exulting in the oppurtunity ot provve their might.[3a]
A Bestigor's status affords them the honour of sitting closes to the herdstone during the ceremonies of sacrifice and ritual feasts of man-flesh. Drinking in the fell power that radiates from this warped idol causes them to grow even more fearsome, their muscles bulging with anarchic strength and their horns growing to the length of longswords.[3a]
Tactics
In battle, Bestigors fight from the front by their Beastlord's side, forming a great, armoured wedge that punches deep into the enemy's gut. They typically wield immense, two-handed axes befitting their stature as alpha killers, sweeping these great blades back and forth to send body part flying and corpses toppling to the bloody soil. Few can recover from such a charge, and countless formations of well-armed city-dwellers havve been shattered by the onslaught of these arch-despoilers.[3a]
