Rangers

The Rangers are the border-keepers of Olaran. They are as wild as the domain they inhabit. With their skills in tracking, stealth, and hit-and-run tactics, they now serve as scouts for the army working in small teams to seek out and destroy their enemies.

The First Rangers...

The first king of Olaran, Alirion, brought peace and stability to jos realm, but once his kingdom was consolidated, he needed to guard and protect its borders. The lawless lands between its villages, towns and cities needed guardians, and so it was that the Rangers were established.

The Rangers, overseen by a council of senior members, are handpicked for service from the ranks of the kingdom’s forces, and trained in the ways of wilderness survival and tactics. Rangers may spend a good deal of time surviving on the frontier or even in foreign territory in service to the Kingdom. These assignments can take a Ranger far and wide and last for long periods of time. Since Rangers spend a significant amount of time away from the major population centers of Olaran, they tend to be more in touch with the needs and struggles of the average Olar citizen. Because of this, they can have a tendency to think of themselves as a protector of these people, sometimes more so than of the Kingdom itself.

Their Culture and Look

Emblem: The Gray Fox Head

Culture:

The Rangers serve the role of Olaran's special forces and intelligence gathering service. They specialize in irregular warfare and reconnaissance, and work in squads to patrol the frontiers. As such a Ranger's kit can vary wildly, but tend to be practical to their role as hunters, trackers, and scouts. Ranger's run light and fast - their goal is to defeat the enemy before the foe even knows they are there. Aesthetically, they draw inspiration from medieval English infantry, foresters, wardens, and scout archers. Culturally, they are based off of 18th century Colonial Rangers and modern day special forces units.

Equipment: their colors are subdued olive and dark greens, tan, browns, grays.* If they wear armor, they wear chainmail, brown/tan leather armor and brown leather studded/steel reinforced armor. They wear sallet and nasal helms that allow for visibility and flexibility.

*Black garments/leather armor are not allowed.

*** Please note that players MAY NOT wear the primary colors of another faction***
