Eryndor Ranks

There will never be one leader of Eryndor. Eryndor is composed of the survivors of the first woodland camp in the Everledden woods and the recruits who joined their Crusade. After the slaughter of their people, the first followers vowed to speak the name Eryndor wherever they travel. They pick up mercenaries, soldiers, dwarves, peasants - anyone willing to wield a blade. Their purpose is to hunt this evil and expel it from the lands. Whether Orc, Goblin, Undead, Dragon or Demon, all will be hunt down and slaughtered for what is right. Eryndor needs no leader, for it is a Crusade. However, the finest warriors on the field are recognized for their prowess, leadership, and character through the Eryndor rank system.

Before claiming a rank, this is the title given to everyone who is inexperienced. Until they have fully participated in three practices, Newbies may only use a single blue weapon, shield, and limited projectiles.

Hunter
A noble warrior that all of Eryndor respects. The legs of Hunters carry them swiftly through their foes, their hands deftly wield their tools of retribution, and their voices lead Fighters and Recruits into the fray. Hunters may also wear the Ashes of the Everledden Life Tree across their eye as a testament to their strength, and will be presented a piece of jewelry from the High Council that will be written into the Crusade’s history.

• During the Hunter Ceremony the Hunter is reworded with a mystical piece of jewelry to be written in the story.
• Once a Hunter, the warrior may take the Hero test once every three weeks.

Hero

The Hero is presented with amazing gifts from the High Council, as well as a mystical weapon of great power.

• With an elaborate ceremony, the Hero is given many gifts from fellow Eryndor members. They are presented with a legendary weapon that holds mystical power when used in Eryndor. These weapons will correspond with the Hero’s fighting style and personal history.
