The Royal Rangers of Arthedain hold

traditions dating back to the lordship of

Gil-Galad over Eriador in the Second Age,
predating the founding of Arnor. Charged
with the border-watch and with infiltration
and scouting, the Rangers are both an elite
Faradrim Aran (Royal and independent part of the Arthedain
Rangers) (V) military. Exercising a large amount of
autonomy from the standard chain of
command within the Royal Army, the
Rangers will allow anyone to join (even,
(SA 3320 to TA 1974) rarely, Dwarves and Elves). Hopefuls must
be 'sponsored' by an existing Ranger, and
must pass the rigorous tests required for
admittance (a Constitution, Agility, and
Self Discipline of at least 90 each).
Recruits must commit to a term of 7 years
of service to be considered.
See ArnorTM and Arnor: The PeopleTM for more
information.
