The Vinedusk Rangers are a group of for-hire assassins in Valenwood. The Rangers work directly in the service of King Camoran Aeradan, as his eyes, ears, and arrows throughout his kingdom, protecting his rule and his interests. By the king's authority, the Vinedusk Rangers are exempt from the Green Pact.
Originally, they were just a regular Bosmer tribe, but after many years of constantly fighting the Khajiit Dakarn Clan across the border, they overstepped and raided Arenthia. Along with the Dakarn Clan's attempt at organized crime in Dune, the citizens of both cities finally resolved to deal with these marauding bandits. They formed militias and hired mercenaries to clear out the hills where the bandits lurked. Ironically, both groups survived in part but turned from banditry to legal jobs. The Vinedusks became the Rangers, while the Dakarn became the Duneguard Outwalkers.
