Grand Marshal
Grand Marshal (GM) is a typically ceremonial military office of very high rank. Usually, the Grand Marshal is the commanding officer of the Grand Alliance Army, replacing the now defunct title of High General. The Grand Marshal holds near absolute power within the army and is often one of the main directors of it's movements during war time.

It must be noted that Grand Marshal may also be bestowed upon others ceremonially as a sign of respect to service or other contributing factors which has aided the Grand Alliance.

Known Grand Marshals

 * Grand Marshal Ashamal Shalah'aman (Grand Marshal of the Alliance Navy)
 * Grand Marshal John Padmore (Grand Marshal of the Alliance Army)
 * Grand Marshal Julianne Tremblade (Grand Marshal of Wrynn's Vanguard)

High Marshal
A High Marshal (HM) is a rank of Marshal below Grand Marshal and above Field Marshal. They generally take command of military strategic outposts. Much like Grand Marshals, it may be on rare occasions that High Marshal actually fight in the field, rather they may usually stay stationed at the nearest base to command the army from there.

Currently known there has only been one known person to have held the rank, the late High Marshal Twinbraid.

Recently there has discussions on the use of High Marshal, which has led many to believe that the rank should be abolished or molded into the other Marshal ranks due to it's rare awarding.

Known High Marshals

 * High Marshal Twinbraid (High Marshal of the Alliance, deceased)

Field Marshal
Field Marshal is a very senior military rank, ordinarily senior to the general officer ranks. Usually it is the highest rank in an army, and when it is, few (if any) persons are appointed to it.

Promotion to the rank of Field Marshal may include various reasons including extraordinary military achievement, outstanding command or a notable dedication to duty and service. However, the rank has also been used as a divisional command rank and also as a brigade command rank.

Unlike some of the other Marshal ranks, Field Marshals are often far more involved in actual combat than others.
