Great Woods have been famous for having some of the strongest rangers in the world, with the elven defenders having both the blessing of the forest, centuries to train, and abilities to find and move through the forest that no one could match. While each Greatwood is different, almost all have some sort of ranger class of defenders that harass any invading party into pincushions.

Some of the more famous ones are the Great Swamp Rangers and the old Redwood Rangers. The swamp rangers have some of the greatest abilities to maneuver, being able to go through water insanely fast, as well as perfectly quiet, and being able to use both water magic and being able to hit and run, rangers from the Great Swamp have never been pushed back by any invader. Although nothing insanely strong has wanted the swamp forest before, even if it is a Greatwood.

The Redwood Rangers, like all of the Redwood elves, were giants compared to other elves, towering above most races. With their strong bodies, these rangers were able to use greatbows to great effect, being able to quickly engage even heavily armored targets and take them out, and then be able to retreat back into the huge trees of their home. Sadly, while the rangers were able to take out many dragons during their fall, they were overwhelmed and their stories became myth and legend.

The ranger class have been researched and taught throughout the world, being one of the greatest hunters, being at home in the wilderness as much as any druid, although to a different extent. Unlike druids who are connected to the forest, rangers are simply another predator, one that knows the ins and outs of the hunt and are able to track down and kill any prey.

For Elves, rangers have always been one of the most popular classes in the Great Woods, just below druids and classical mage builds. Being a part of their home forest and training their skill in the bow is something elves excel at, especially with their longer lifespans where they can learn every nook and cranny of their home.
