Yew Festival. The Archery Tournment is over and the whole party has moved to the Kent's Last Pint. Festivities are open! You can also enjoy a very rare view the beautiful Chani in a simple "paesant" uniform.

Rangers Gathering. One of our gatherings. This one was held at the Bear Lodge. We have several gatherings in the course of the year. Most of them are held in remote places in the woods, where we feel home. The gatherings are occasions to meet, discuss the recent events, exchange informations on the state of the land, and take important decisions concerning the guild and its members.

It is the end of the 1999, in Britannia, the rangers are playing with snowballs. Suddendly, a new game is born. A club, four bases, a launcher, and little esle is needed. An appropriate name for this game is still to be decided. Someone proposed Snowball...

New Years Eve. At Kent's, Yew. Rangers and their friends are celebrating the upcoming new year. MacGregor is inside his "castle" and challenges everyone to go take him. It'll end up in a bloodbath, of course.

The Stars Room. Perigon Golan knew a secret place. He called a gathering of rangers and invited them to follow him there. A perillous jurney it was: down into the underground of Terhatan Keep. Great battles were fought that day and in the end a band of rangers with some friends from other guilds reached their secret destination: the fabled Stars Room.

Descent into Fire Dungeon (Feb. 2001) - The hunting party. We had up to 11 people in the party. This picture is taken at the bottom of the dungeon, when we are about to head back to the exit

Shadowclan orcs assault on Shadowmoor. A fierce battle. In the end, the vicious orc horde was defeated with no loss on our side!

We also adventured into Covetous one day. Well the rangers go there from time to time, do gather feathers for their arrows. But this time it was special: we wanted to explore the whole dungeon, down until the deeper caves. There we found the Dragon. With the help of a wizard from Britain, we managed to defeat the foe.

Here we are in the lost lands, at the extreme north. This area is also known as the Icelands. After a whole day exploring and hunting, the rangers rest at a campfire.

This time the adventure takes us to Hythloth, dungeon of horrors. As always, our goal is to complete the exploration of the dungeon. We start at the entrance and fight our way down to the fourth level, where rumors talk of deamons and balrons.

Shadowclans Orc Fort. A joined force of Rangers, Celts and Free Corps raided the orc fort that day. The vile creatures were defeated after a furious battle.

Shadowclans Fort Burns! Yet another massive attack on the orc fort. Before this attack, the very same force of Yew people attacked Necropolis, the City of Evil, and conquered both Undead Keep and Crimsom Alliance Tower. It was a great day for the Free People of the North.

Dragon Hunting. The rangers dared to adventure into Destard, the dungeon of the Dragonkind. This picture was taken at the time of our first descent in that terrible place. The hunt proved to be very succefull and the party made it to the Shrine in the depths of the caves. We slayed a Dragon and several Drakes on our way to the shrine.

The Pilgrimage

Back in 1998, a few like minded friends of Yew met at the Community Center and came out with the idea of a Pilgrimage to the Eight Shrine of the Virtues. From the original party of about five or six pilgrims, the group grew larger and larger. I remember at one point, when we departed from Vesper, counting not less than 20 pilgrims on the road.

The Pilgrims gather at the Yew Abbey. Dove the Healer is giving general instructions on the route to follow.

The Rangers and a elf meet at the Flowers, on their way to the Justice Shrine

The pilgrims finally reach their first destination: the Shrine of Justice. There, they meet a strange individual, Logan.

The ceremony at the Shrine is over. The Pilgrims are preparing for a pic nic. Inside, Logan and Jurai are talking about the ideal of Justice. Rumors are that Jurai was given some special and blessed item by Logan in this occasion, something representing the Virtue of Justice.

The Lodges

Early 1999. The Shadow Rangers, with the help of Rangers of Heart, started a project of creating several lodges in the wildlands. These were intended as shelters and safe houses for the hunters and travellers. The project even got the attention of noble patrons from distant villages, who donated some buildings to the cause. Here are the paintings of some of the lodges.

Wolf Lodge. Anatoly Kryczech, of the Rangers of the Heart, allowed his house to become a Rangers Lodge. A gathering of Shadow Rangers and Rangers of Heart was held at the inauguration ceremony. The Lodge was located in the extreme north of the Justice Peninsula. Due to unfortunate inconvenients, this lodge is no more functional.

Oak Lodge. This is the Shadow Rangers main lodge, where our guildstone is located. It is at the borders of the Deep Forest, east of Yew.

The Lodges project was sponsored by several patrons. The Glen Village allowed their Town Hall to become a safe house for the travelers and the rangers. Lord Wracu, the village leader, did much more for the cause of the rangers: he donated yet another house deed and also provided us with several sets of armors and weapons in the following months. Long live the Glen Village!
