===Early Years===

{{kingsandlegendslogo}}Herneas was born in [[Crag Gallan]], whos people are unusually at home in the great outdoors. Herneas came from a long line of rangers and soon joined up to be part of the [[Crag Gallan’s Ranger Company]]. Herneas rose quickly to become its pre-eminent tracker, yet he rejected the signal honour of being appointed its leader. Instead, Herneas declared his intention to head out into the wilderness beyond Crag Gallan to take on his clan's enemies which included [[Goblins]] which lead to others wanting to join up with him even though he originally intended to go alone.

Herneas attempted to leave alone under the cover of darkness, however members of his rangers attempted to follow him. For many weeks, they would trail behind Herneas at an attempt to try to keep up with him with many dropping behind and giving up until eventually only a few were left. Herneas used all of his field-craft to shake off the last of those who trailed him which was successful, however as he looked into the valley where the last of his pursuers were, he noticed wolf-mounted [[Goblins]] stalking them. Herneas knew he had to warn them or they would die.

Herneas took out his great horn and sounded a warning which echo'ed through the valley, revealing his position but successfully signalled his people down below who then turned to talke on the [[Goblins]]. Herneas quickly joined them in battle with the collective group managing to kill all the goblin attackers. Herneas realised with this that he had been wrong to believe he could take on his enemies alone, noting that [[Dwarfs|Dwarf]] have to stand together or die alone. Herneas then asked for the rangers to forgive him for his evasion, forming [[Herneas’ Handpicked Rangers]], and vowed to return back to [[Crag Gallan]] with the group to build the greatest band of rangers ever to exist.

10 days later, upon returning to the road leading to [[Crag Gallan]] they noticed a black smoke coming from the hold. The road leading to Crag Gallan was lined with iron stakes impaled with [[Dwarfs|Dwarf]] heads. Herneas, filled with grief, charged at the gates of Crag Gallan only to be held back by the rest of the [[Herneas’ Handpicked Rangers]] and pulled him into the forest. As they did a column of [[Abyssal Dwarfs]] marched forth from the gates of Crag Gallan.

Herneas began a campaign of bitter vengeance against the [[Abyssal Dwarfs]], hoping to one day return to [[Crag Gallan]] alongside an army of allies, yet he knows it will be years in the future.

Herneas the Hunter and a few regiments of rangers managed to put up a successful fighting withdrawal at a great cost around Rhyn Dufaris, dubbed [[The Battle at Rhyn Dufaris]], boarding the last ships south they came bearing a single message: “They are coming!”

{{~~ClashofKings2021~~}}In 3865, Herneas ~~took part in~~ the ~~fight~~ to ~~clear~~ [[Helgarth]] which was ~~successful~~, ~~however lost~~ [[The ~~Battle~~ of Ravenwood]] which ~~resulted it in~~ falling ~~again~~.

{{Clashofkings2021}}In 3865, Herneas began to lead the charge back into the [[Halpi Mountains]] after the [[Free Dwarfs]] were pushed out during the [[Edge of the Abyss|War with the Abyss]]. This was made possible due to the impacts of [[Halpi's Rift]]. Having laid the foundations for the invasions, he moved inland with the task of closing the nexus.

During this, [[Helgarth]] was retaken which was a major boost to the reinvasion plan. Sitting on the west of the mountain range, Helgarth was the perfect landing point for [[Free Dwarfs]] ships to bring more forces inside the [[Halpi Mountains]]. Even though they had taken Helgarth, [[Grimzark|Lord Grimzark]] was reforming his forces including a small contingent of [[Goblins]] including [[Kuzlo]] and his lizard [[Madfall]] along with another wiz called [[Skulk Blackblood]]. The goblins were looking to expand after taking over [[Gorric's Arch]], a former dwarf mine. [[Herneas’ Handpicked Rangers]] spotted the Goblin and [[Abyssal Dwarfs]] movements and reported them back to Herneas.

Herneas sent a desperate plea to [[Crag Makaz]], which held a coalition of [[Free Dwarfs]] and [[Northern Alliance]] which was formed during [[Halpi's Rift]] while they were in pursuit of [[Abyssal Dwarfs]] that attacked [[Chill]]. They arrived at [[Helgarth]] just in time to spot [[Dwarfs]] arriving led by [[Ithram Steelforged|Lord Ithram Steelforged]] who had come due to the success they heard of Herneas at Helgarth who were convinced that the coalition were unable to hold Helgarth. At the same time, the combined [[Goblins]] and [[Abyssal Dwarfs]] forces emerged from [[Ravenwood]] which is south of Helgarth.

The battle did not go the way of the [[Free Dwarfs]], [[Northern Alliance]] and [[Dwarfs]] which led to [[Helgarth]] falling to the [[Goblins]] and [[Abyssal Dwarfs]] once more. Herneas knocked out [[Ithram Steelforged|Lord Ithram Steelforged]] and sounded the retreat, expecting to hear objections from Ithram's men however did not.

Herneas would later meet up with [[Sveri Egilax|Lord Sveri Egilax]] and join the plan to take back [[Cwl Gen]]

=====Retaking of Cwl Gen=====

{{prideofakinglogo}}Later that year, Herneas took his [[Herneas’ Handpicked Rangers|his rangers]] overlooking the east wall of [[Cwl Gen]] during the [[The Retaking of Cwl Gen|retaking of Cwl Gen]], his unit was tasked to provide cover to [[Sveri Egilax|Lord Sveri Egilax]] and his Brock riding [[Berserkers]] when they charge towards the exposed section of Cwl Gen.
