Rangers of Greyhawk: Rhennee Sea Rovers

​Among the Rhenee, there exists an elite society of specially trained seamen known as Sea Rovers. These Rovers are one part monster hunters and one part Rhennee lawmen, and a number of their ranks have been recruited from the Dharkagard. Rovers specialize in hunting down and slaying sea monsters that harras their barge fleets and are masters of the Dharka, a type of double-pronged harpoon-like spear. They also hunt down Rhennee pirates and bandits that bring a bad name to their people through their actions. The Rhennee are mistrusted by most already, and because of this, they do not want any of their kind helping to perpetuate these stereotypes. The Rhenee also do not believe that most other nations in the Flanaess will give their kind, fair judgment and prefer if their Rovers did so instead. 

Rovers are not assigned to anyone particular fleet of barges but instead float around to where they are needed the most. It is not uncommon, though, to find one or maybe even two of them anytime that a particularly large gathering of barges occurs. 

The Rovers work with the Vetha, or Rhennee wise-women who act as cultural figureheads for their communities, to prevent disasters that they can predict through their fortunetelling. Because of this, the Rovers will always check in with the closest Vetha after completing a mission. The Rovers also bring the Vetha many trophies and components from the monsters they slay. From these, the Vetha make special potions and even some minor magical items to help the Rovers in their duties.
