“In the wild lands beyond Bree there were mysterious wanderers. The Bree folk called them Rangers and knew nothing of their origin. They were taller and darker than the Men of Bree and were believed to have strange powers of sight and hearing, and to understand the language of beasts and birds. They roamed at will southwards and eastwards even as far as the Misty Mountains; but they were now few and rarely seen.” (Lord of the Rings, At the Sign of the Prancing Pony) "Lonely men are we, Rangers of the wild, hunters - but hunters ever of the servants of the enemy; for they are found in many places, not in Mordor Only...when dark things come from the houseless hills, or creep from sunless woods, they fly from us."

This list is dedicated to the Dunedain Rangers, specifically those of the North. Feel free to discuss the Rangers from LOTR in print and in film, Ranger costumes and kits, LARP or any other aspect of Ranger life.
