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. | |||
