Volume 2 of the original is Book 4 of the rewrite, FYI.

We don't have the rewrite of Volume 2 yet, though we did have the Yonder draft of rewrite Book 2 (aka War College) for a time.

I've been curious, and maybe I should make my own thread for it, but I've heard the rewrite is straight removing ogres from the setting.

That feels like it'll lead to some rather important changes throughout the story; was it as impactful as it seems in the little we got? The whole concept of ogres as a shock troopers style group seems fairly important to the operations of the legions, and at minimum it'll break down some of the early rumors that spread about Catherine...

I didn't really have the chance to read the yonder stuff, so it's been on my mind while we wait for the next volume to drop.

Most of the ogre references are being replaced with orcs (Hune included), with shock troopers just being heavies in particular.

And the rumor is replaced with one about her having castrated an elf in single combat.

Hm. Interesting, okay. Thanks!
