Over the centuries the Rangers became something close to a personality cult surrounding Prince Julian.

− | + | While the bow and Arrow is by far the most common standard weapon carried by the Rangers recently the new Nail Gun carbine is coming into use. Based on the high tension clockwork design bought to Amber by Prince Caine and adopted by Marshal Benedict, the carbine fires a 3" long, 10 gauge nail at a rate of 2 per second. This increase in offensive firepower is being eagerly embraced by the newer rangers and seen as sacrilegious by older ones. The Fey-oriented Rangers refuse to use the weapon, favoring their traditional arms. | |
