  • The origins of the modern Ranger Corps can be traced all the way back to 600 AD during the Dark Ages. Originally it was a loose organization of wilderness explorers but soon became a well known guild that contained skilled scouts and archers. Initially member were hired out to the highest bidder but the guild maintained a strict code of conduct. Over time it became a highly sought after source of light infantry and archers by the many kings and lords throughout Anea. In 920 AD the Ranger Guild's main headquarters in the city of Altaris was attacked by the forces of King Vlade III when they arrived at the city during their campaign of conquest across Anea. The guild was shattered and disorganized from the battle and lacked a cohesive leadership and the surviving members of the guild fled the city. The survivors eventually made it to the city state of Arcea which was ruled by King Steelwall the Great. The King allowed the Rangers Guild to start over in his city and in return the guild pledged to fight for Arcea against King Vlade. When Belkan forces attempted to take Arcea the combined forces of King Steelwall, other city states and the guild managed to repulse it. Arcea remained one of the few city states that wasn't conquered by Vlade's forces and assisted the Army of the Oppressed when they began their revolt in 940 AD. After the war the guild remained in service to Arcea until 1100 AD when the city decided to unite with other cities in the region to form the nation of Altaria. The guild decided to remain in service to the new nation state and was reformed into a new military unit. The newly formed Altarian Rangers continued to serve the nation as an independent military force even after the nation became part of the Osean Empire. After the dissolution of the Osean Empire in 1900 the Altarian Rangers were reformed into an elite unit of the new nation due to its history as a ready and capable fighting force. Initially trained as elite scouts and shock troops the Altarian Ranger Corps was among the first to see action during the First Great War. The overall unit casualty rate for the conflict was 281% and the Ranger Corps, and it's members, were given numerous awards and commendations for their actions. After the first war the Rangers underwent another transformation into an elite light infantry unit. It was among the first of Altaria's military forces to receive new technology and doctrines. The Ranger Corps was the first unit capable of conducting airborne drops and helicopter assaults and pioneered new infantry tactics. In 1948 the Rangers demonstrated it's capabilities as a rapid deployment force during the intervention in Tollana, being the first Altarian military unit to enter the country. The Ranger Corps continued to serve with distinction through the Second and Third Great Wars as well as numerous minor conflicts.
