Rangers of Ithlien Standard

We are a cross-game Battle Unit primariliy in Dagorhir and Belegarth based on the Rangers of Ithilien from the Lord of the Rings universe founded in 1991.

Ranks

Non-Officer Ranks

Entrant (In development)

One who wishes to join our ranks, once accepted by a Captain, or higher, is bestowed the rank of Entrant. Their current name is stripped from them and they are assigned a name by the Captain of the Company they are accepted into. This is to teach humility and to show that they are working to earn their spot in our midst. This is a probationary rank.

Ranger

Once a Entrant has passed their name trial, whether combat or non-combat, they are bestowed the rank of Ranger. This is the first rank where one is considered fully a member of the Rangers of Ithilien. They are still low on the hierarchy, with a lot to learn, but are considered Rangers.

Guardian

After an Ranger has proven their worth on or off of the battlefield they will be given the opportunity to take their Guardian trial. Upon completion they will be given the rank of Guardian. This person is one who initiates should look up to as an example and should start teaching and helping others.

Sentinel

After a Guardian has continued to show their merit on and off the field, including providing for and teaching not just fellow rangers but fighters of all units, they will be given the opportunity to take their Sentinel trial. Upon completion they will be held in high esteem by their fellow rangers and should be someone whom all look up to both inside and outside the unit for help, teaching, and mentorship.

Warden

Over many years if a Ranger shows exemplary behavior both on and off the field they will be given the chance to take their Warden trial. This is the highest non-officer rank and therefore should be the exemplar of what it means to be a Ranger. Upon completion of their trial this should be someone whom all, both in and out of the Rangers, should aspire to be like.


Officer Ranks

Sergeant

A Sergeant is an assistant to the commanding officer. They are appointed by the commanding officer, and may be combat or non-combat. Duties may include leading segments of the unit on the field, guiding and instructing less-experienced players, and/or assisting with camp duties. Sergeants must pass the Sergeant’s trial after appointment.

Warrant Officer

A Warrant Officer keeps and assists in maintaining the armory, roster, attendance, waivers, and other paperwork. They are appointed by the commanding officer, with the approval of the Lord Marshal. There is no trial for this rank as it is appointed and majorly administrative in nature.

Lieutenant

The Lieutenant acts as second in command in an area. They keep the treasury, maintain a list of expenses and incomes, and assist with maintaining the armory. They are appointed by the commanding officer, with the approval of the Lord Marshal. Once appointed a Lieutenant must pass the Lieutenant’s trial.

Captain

Captains are appointed specifically by the Lord Marshal, with advice given by other players as appropriate. They act as commanders of one of the companies and as advisors to the Lord Marshal. As noncombatants, they are experts in their areas of study. As warriors, they excel both individually and as part of the unit. As leaders, they are looked upon to assume responsibility and guide the Rangers. They are those who are what all Rangers aspire to be.
