The Rangers' Guild

Once upon a time, we started a rebellion...








The Rangers' Guild
is a collection of highly skilled individuals who make their living from the wilds around them. The Guild is a family to those who need one, it is a haven to those who need safety, and it is a friend to the like-minded. Founded by an Immortal Queen and Nylas Swifteye, the Elven Rebel.


Contrary to popular belief,
the Guild is not a club. It isn't a cult, or a sect that you sign up for and are immediately initiated into. In most cases, recruits are sought out by existing members for their appropriate abilities or lifestyle, and become a Ranger through training, both mentally and physically for an indefinite amount of time.

Those that don the cloak
and join the family are the smart, the subtle, the swift of thought and bow, the fleet of foot and blade. When you have truly proven yourself a useful, nay, integral part of the Guild, you will graduate from a recruit, and adopt the Ranger title. Each member is a highly valued and respected Ranger; a brother or sister in arms.

Our goal:
It used to be that we spent our time hunting the Slayers, what little there are left of them.
Now, for the most part, our time is spent growing in numbers and strength, gaining influence in houses and lands far stretched across the Northern Kingdoms.
We keep a watchful eye on the events that happen in the Northern Kingdoms, ever ready to step in and restore the peace. If that means putting down false Kings, or sabotaging corrupt organisations, then so be it. The way of the Ranger is to be one with the land, wishing to hone oneself in their skill. A Ranger is tasked with keeping the peace, before and after graduation. They stand as a family beside one another, in blood or without.


Politics:
The Guild is not affiliated with any political house. We remain an independent body, ruled by ourselves and not subject to house restrictions.
This means that if you belong to a house, you can join our ranks, but it is important not to let your alliances cloud your thoughts when making crucial decisions. The Guild comes before everything, house or no house.


Crown Affiliation:
The position of Crown Ranger is that which stands loyal to the appointing, under oath. Those that depart from the position without leave are given the title 'Oathbreaker'. Punishment for breaking oath is left to the discretion of the Crown, as are the responsibilities paired with the title, within reason. The position can be handed off to another Ranger, with the approval of both the Crown, and the recipient. Those known to have the position are:
Nylas Swifteye under Draco Lonmar.
Ced J'Sera under Leminth Arduin.
Dayter Arretez, successor under Leminth Arduin.


There has been no Crown Ranger since the dissolution of the Silver Crown.

Religion:
Religion is not strictly necessary, but Theodra is the Guild's matron deity.


As of late, there have been changes in the Guild's theological outlook, many of the members either denouncing the Gods or looking towards the others. Worship of most Pantheon members is accepted, at least within reason.

Locations:
Training Camp - The location and information regarding the Ranger's training camp is closely guarded by the Sentinels and Rangers.


Legacy:
The Rangers were formed initially by Nylas Swifteye, and an Immortal Queen, initially a rebellion against Leo Decroix's Slayers, and the threat of Queen Grief. Taking place in loyalty to the Crown after some time, under both the reign of Draco Lonmar, and successor Leminth Arduin. Several members were additionally part of the Order of the Blackened Skull, as well as the Guardians. In the previous Exodus, King's Ranger Dayter Arretez was among elected executive officers, put on the sidelines for injuries. During the elementals and corruption crisis, the Rangers were known as key players, with offences and deliberation to facilitate action.


Rules:
  • Be discreet. Rangers are quiet, calculating. If your character is a brash, loud-mouthed warrior, then the Guild isn’t for you.

  • While a fully-fledged Ranger might be incredibly quick and agile, that does not make him a ninja. Don’t be over-powered; even Rangers make mistakes.

  • Your character doesn't join this Guild and instantly become proficient at archery, or any of the other skills required to be a Ranger. If they already know some skills that’s fine, but they need to learn the other ones, then practice on their own. They'll will receive as many lessons as they need.

  • Honestly, we focus mainly on RP skills when someone wants to join, so make sure you have a convincing, “real” character. That means no demigodninjaorphanassassins. Activity is our second priority, so the more active you are the better!
Want to join? Find us, and we’ll talk.

Joining:
Find us on the server, or contact us with a private message on the forums telling us why you'd like to join and what you think you can bring to our group!

If you are accepted, you will be added to the group as a Recruit, and can begin your training with one of our three Sentinels. Each one specialises in certain areas, so make sure you get around all of them!

If your character begins displaying a natural talent for an aspect of Ranger skills, the appropriate Sentinel may approach your character and offer to take them as an Apprentice. The Sentinel will become your mentor, and you will train from them only, which would vastly improve your skill in that area. Likewise, you can ask a Sentinel of your choosing to become your mentor. Neither the Sentinel or the Recruit are obliged to accept either proposals.

Bear in mind, becoming an apprentice will specialise you, bringing unbalance to your skill set. If you'd prefer to have a more rounded off Ranger character, then keep training under all three!


Requirements:
-To have read and understood the post above, and take into account the rules.
-To be a part of no other organizations, such as the Assassin’s Guild or the Inquisition.
-To possess RP skill (the more the better).
-To be active (the more the better).
-Last but not least: Your character has to fit the part! If your character is an evil, money grubbing capitalist that simply wants to get better with bows, and you make this obvious, you won't get in, simple.

Mairin Baihn (mairinbaihn)
Dayter Noah Arretez (Deash12)


Rangers
"What the recruited strive to be. The full rank of Ranger is reached upon graduation, given by the Sentinels. The rank may vary in meaning from member to member, but to reach one's own meaning recruits must train to find it themselves. They are the heart and soul of the Guild, and of the Family."

Joseph Seeker (JoeJoe)
Karsten Norheim (Jstar)

Recruits

Banished
"The few that were once given place in the Rangers, but have done something which has earned true enmity of the guild.

While most members of the guild will not be foolhardy enough to take overt and rash action, peaceful neutrality is not to be expected. It is always possible to redeem oneself, although it is usually very unlikely."

Bumping, as this group has gained some traction within the Campaign, and as a personal reminder this thread actually exists.
