Only to find that the Hunt Mistress Jawagoo has not only retreated into the safety of the Forest, but had taken her entire kingdom with her! From the border thick dark trees, foreboding trees, were all that could be seen. I knew then that I would not have my chance for vengeance until at least the Spring. Cursing the Forest Gods under my breath, I turned my army around and went home.

Ranger

A Ranger is at home most in the wilderness between the cities. Therefore, when a Ranger travels, it costs him half of what a Fighter would pay. Rangers are never robbed, as they do not take the highways, and they enter or leave locked cities as they please, as they do not use the gates.

Rangers are not completely trusted by, or trusting of, their city-dwelling brethren. Therefore they may ally, but only with another Ranger. Rangers have little use for material goods, and therefore donate copper, in excess of ??? per level, to the Church.

Most miraculously, Rangers are very close to all of Elvenkind, including many fantastic magical creatures of the forest. Many of these creatures serve them in the army, but the Ranger also learns strange mystical abilities himself.

• A Ranger of any level can sense the unnatural aura of the Vampire. Though only a Cleric, with the holy might of God, can truly slay the Lord of the Undead, a Ranger may find his guise.
• When a Ranger reaches Hunter (second) level, he may see with the vision of other animals. And by looking through the eyes of an animal flying through an opponent's kingdom, the Ranger can scry on his opponent's troops.
• At Protecter (third) level, a Ranger may speak directly with the very earth, encouraging and coaxing her to yield more food. By tend'ing another player in this way, the Ranger will increase her food by 5-20%. No ranger would ever think of using this power on himself, however.
• Trackers (level 5 Rangers) and higher have such a great degree of control and loyalty from all the animals of the forest, that they can summon them into a horde to aid in battle!
• Rangers who have earned the name (level 5) can bring their entire Kingdom within the Protection of the Forest Gods... A strong Treaty between the Forest Gods and the Emperors means that this extends the Protection of the Emporers to this Ranger. This ability is not, however, to be abused, and can only be invoked once per HouseKeeping.
• The very weather comes under the control of a Hunt Master or Hunt Mistress (level 6 ranger), as they can Commune with the Forest Gods to change the weather. This is very strenuous, however, and has only a 65% chance of working, plus 1% per level of the Ranger.

Due to their natures, Rangers hold fewer lands than other classes. They do not, for the most part, hold sway over large kingdoms, but rather house their armies among the wild undergrowth... here and there, and eventually, everywhere. Therefore, Rangers have lower promotion requirements than other classes. Moreover, they must only reach level 7 to abdicate and gain an experience level

Troops

Scouts(1/2)
Nothing more than peasants eager to take arms for their Lord, Scouts may be enlist'ed from the ranks of the peasantry. In turn, through horrible magics taught by the ancient Treant, Scouts may be turned into the half-horse Centaurs, after only a little bit of train'ing.

Centaurs(3/4)
Truly devoted to the Way of the Forest, these warriors have been turned into half-horse monsters with ancient Forest magics. They are the ultimate cavalry: they are obsessively loyal, they have ultimate control over their mounts, and they cannot be unhorsed...

Master Archer(5/5 fs, x2)
Trained by the Elves, these bowmen are the best on the Three Continents. Armed not only with stout bows, but short swords as well, they know well when to hide and when to attack. They come from every direction, and never lose sight of their enemies.

Treant(2/10, swarm)
The noble Treant refer to themselves as the Shepards of the Trees. Ancient and commanding, they are trees come to life, and with the power to awaken their brethren. They are slow, but when an entire forest can be awakened to attack, there is little escape.

Bloodguards(10/12)
Trained from birth to be the elite bodyguards of the Emperors themselves, the enigmatic bloodguard serve the most honourable warriors in the realms with their staunch magical steel.

Battering Ram(2/0)
Crude, but effective... if only barely. The Battering Ram is simply a tree, cut down and hewn of it's branches.

Mercenaries

Wyvern(10/10, fs, swarm)
The forest-dwelling cousin to the mountain-dwelling Firedrake, these Dragons are known for sleeping away centuries, but when they are awakened they fight with tooth, nail and fire. Flocks of wyverns are among the most dangerous troops in existence, as the consume, destroy and burn everything in their path.
