Farstriders and Rangers UNITE!

[Bovel]

Some of you might have noticed my most recent creation on CotH, Ranger Riael Wyrmsinger that I've roleplayed frequently the last few weeks. He is a farstrider and being the old elf he is have been part of the organization since they were officially formed.

I have OOCly forged some past connections, far back and more recent ones but I feel like this can stand to grow larger. Just like the Blood Knights have an in-game guild there is one for us Farstriders, but that is not what I had in mind. (Just a heads up!) This is NOT a guild post, but rather means for characters that have a common past to connect.


My idea and vision is;

1. To make a compilation of all characters around that are part of the Farstriders but those that once was part of them.
   
2. Form warbands, past ones and current. (3 - 6 in each)
   
3. Determine mentor and student for those rangers that weren't around when it they first formed.
   
4. Weave relationships, who has fought alongside who, which ranger dislikes which or fancies the other. The possibilities are endless!
   
5. And lastly make memories of past glories and battles, the thing I most of all look forward to.

But let us not get ahead of ourselves, lets establish a foundation first. Here is the stuff I think you should post to being with;

Full Name:
Ranger nickname: (a nickname given for a trait or a feat that also acts like a codename, are formed like tauren adulthood names Wyrmsinger and Bloodletter are two examples)
When he/she joined the Farstriders:
In what conflicts did he/she fight:
( When he/she left their ranks or died: )

(NOTE: The Farstriders were officially formed year -500 but that kind of rangers have been around since the Troll Wars.)

I'm way to motivated to stop now! So another thing that would be of importance are the bands we know of, former and current members.

Year or event of formation:
Current members:
Former members:

[Loxmardin]

Name: (Ranger Captain/Overseer) Acserin Dawnsend
Ranger nickname: N/A
When he/she joined the Farstriders: Soon after it's foundation. He was a ranger since before and joined up with the organization rather early.
In what conflicts did he/she fight: Not many. He's been very local and only cared for the lands of Quel'thalas, meaning he only spread as far as the current Ghostlands with his operations. Hence, he was only ever involved in the local conflictes and strifes (including struggles against the Trolls). And the Third War, of course, and everything that came with it.

Acserin is also the leader of the Farstrider guild, in-game.

Hehe, you are very free to join awesome rodent. I'd suggest you try and fill in a gap in the connections people describe, if you want to. Like a missing slot in a warband, a mentor or student and maybe even a presumed dead ranger coming back?
