He kept watch on Angmar.
Yeah he was basically a mall cop but for the forest and shit
he was at the range
pretty much. they were like nomads just living in the forests moving place to place. sometimes they protected places/cities without the cities knowing. sometimes it was deliberate like with the shire when the ring was there.
He and a band of other rangers basically camped out innawoods and protected the shire from what I remember
they were there under gandalfs orders ever since bilbo had the ring. saruman eventually found out the ring was probably there because it was suspicious gandalf was sending protection there.
Was him finding the location from Gollum a Jackson invention too?
you're getting sauron and saruonsman confused again
I range
This. He just hung out in the woods all day banging elves.
Just Glorfindel, a legendary cross-species bottom.
does he work for free?
Yeah, but he runs some credit scams for pocket money. Rangers are basically like the Winchesters at the start of Supernatural.
He gets payment in the form of pounding Arwen's pale pussy
do dunedain ape out like /misc/ when they learn their women think of big balrog wiener
>What kind of job is "Ranger"?
who knows? its a mystery to all but the must learned of tolkien scholars
Do they fight bears or something?
sometimes
mostly poachers and harassing locals to present fishing permits
>harassing locals to present fishing permits
I now believe this is what Aragorn did
>OI HOBBIT! U GOT A FOOKING FISHGRABBING LOICENCE?
nobody has permits since most people cant read. if anything everybody knows everybody anyway so everybody knows who is allowed to fish in a given local area
They maintain trails, work with government offices, and make sure nobody's littering or hunting.
>Do they fight bears or something?
Only Smokey, there's a power struggle between them over who protects the woods
Real thing. Someone in a military or paramilitary assigned to patrol a given area.
What ever he did, I bet he was not paying taxes.
I am an euro alcoholic and the other day I saved some native kids from being mugged by gypsies. I felt like a ranger
>What kind of job is "Ranger"?
genociding orcs and goblins and other monsters, a work of love and virtue
I thought rangers were just the dunedain or whatever
The rangers were probably responsible for why everything west of the misty mountains is entirely desolated save for one town and the shire.
Why the frick are the people of Rohan and the Dunedain fighting for a tiny portion of Middle Earth when 50% of it is just empty forests?
Angmar destroying Arnor did that.
That's hundreds of years before the events of Lord of the Rings though.
People should have moved back in at that point unless something is keeping people away
The trolls, wrights and revennents kept people from resettling. you had to be something like Bjorn or Bombidel to survive in the ruins of the area
No it was the witch king. He created a plague that killed everyone, destroyed Anor and Aragorn's homeland and enlisted trolls to rampage the forest while he resurrected the dead.
He did more damage with Angmar than Sauron did.
Sauron pranked the Numenoreans into destroying themselves so hard it made the world round.
I guess but that was really the Kings doing.
Is that why Sauron used men I wonder, it seems their ability to make their own music in a sense allowed Sauron to really frick up the world.
Sauron's two best successes used men falling to sin while he gave them the knowledge and power to wreck shit, he didn't do it himself.
Pelennor fields also went to shit once the Witch King stopped commanding it.
>doesnt know about the rangers
what does he know?
He knows the love that dare not speaks its name
you delta force boys are a bunch of cowboys
when we get out on the five yard line you gon need ma rangers
who gives a frick about LOTR anymore? the movies are 20 years old, the books are 100 years old. grow up.
it's not a job he's a vagrant. all he can expect is occasional handouts for passing along information. otherwise he has to make do as vagrants do
what should i give a frick about instead
Kind of like a witcher, but he works for free.
Sweeper of the Dúnedain.
Heir of Will Hunting.
Janny of the Dúnedain.
Custodian of Arnor.
Superintendent of Gondor.
Rangement engineer of the Shire.
