Career
Qualifications
To be qualified as a ranger, one must be a practicing druid of two years. This can be shorter or longer based on the requirements of the individual druid circles. During one's druidhood, one can opt into an exam to join the rangers. They then must pass an exam put on by the druid circle they wish to work for.
The exam is broken down to a verbal test on reciting natural law, an herbology test for common medicinal purposes, a zoological test to identify wildlife, and a combat test. Based on the region there will be additional tests such as a survivalist test for desert rangers, tool skill tests for locations that are difficult to traverse such as the cliffs of Falliliev, or a performance test for swimming or running.

Career Progression
Rangers start out as a druid to endure they have a strong religious or spiritual understanding of nature. During druidhood, they look to strengthen their bonds with nature and learn more about their environmental surroundings. If a druid is of good standing, they can be asked if they want to take the ranger test.
Once a ranger, the next progression is to become ranger captain. To become ranger captain, one must provide at least 5 years of service and provide a "document of profound discovery". Much like being a ranger, a ranger will be asked by a ranger captain to join their ranks. This will require a captain's trial which is different for each region.

Demographics

Some of the "Wild" races also count for a large amount of the population. This is particularly so with the minotaurs who occupy most of the higher ranks. In most locations, druid circles are considered part of tauren society.
Fae and homunculi are the other common races to see as a ranger or druid.
