Rangers are the remnants of the High Elf Sword Masters of Hoeth Order (Although the Masters were not officially created for hundreds of years after the wood elves migrated to Athel Loren their order still existed in many cities). The rangers serve the mages and protect Athel Loren. They are trained by ancient mages in the Tree of Woe, the mages place of dark ritual. These wizards teach them in martial arts and meditation which enhance their physical and mental abilities. Unfortunately, there is not enough metal in Loren to make the 6 foot tall greatswords and coats of glittering mail the Sword Masters are famous for. Instead the Rangers fight with a short sword or dagger in each hand and wear magic war paint to protect themselves. Many enemies of the Elves have been lured to the Woe Glades to their doom. You may include one regiment of Rangers in your army.
