"And
war broke out in the heavens;
Micheal and his angels fought against the dragon.
And the dragon and his angels fought back;
But they were defeated,
And there was no longer any place for them in heaven.
The great dragon was thrown down,
That ancient serpent
Who is called the Devil and Satan,
The deciever of the whole world, he was thrown down
To earth, and his angels were thrown down with him
-Revelations 12: 7-9

Ranger
Warriors
of stealth, shadow and nature, rangers are nature-dwelling
counterparts to fighters. While soldiers train in cities with
past masters of combat, rangers study in the forests, learning
the art of war by observing the hunters and the hunted. This
informal training can take any number of forms - from hunters
in the tribes of Gallia and Germania who are trained to track
and hunt prey, to farmers who develop tracking skills as a
nesscessity in the lean times, to those rare wildkin who are
left in nature to fend for themselves at a young age.
Although
Rangers are powerful allies of the Lord, their nature makes
them seem untrustworthy to most mortals. In times where betrayal
is the norm, this is a major stroke against them. They are
almost universally unwelcome in larger cities (and thus given
a wide berth on those rare occasions that lead to them entering
cities of their own will) and tolerated in the more rural
centres.
