Summary
In the world of Araluen, everyone has a skill. At ten, they find their skill, from being able to outrun a horse to making the best cup of tea. This skill helps them find a job, meaning if you don’t have a corresponding skill, no one will hire you.
Each tenth birthday of the Wards of Redmont all wake up with skills they love. Expect for the one that wakes up without a skill. Expect for the one who found his whole world crumbling, from his skill-less self to his own height, a body betraying a broken boy, Will. -

Summary
It had been a long time since he had had a night as bad as this. Perhaps it was the horrible day he had that made all the stress build up and manifest itself into terrifying thoughts and images in his dreams.
(I don't usually have lines directly from the fic in my summaries but I'm tired and couldn't think of anything)

Summary
It has been sixteen years since Morgarath’s victory. Now, he sits upon Araluen’s throne, thirsting for more power. With the Ranger Corps broken, there is no one strong enough to stop him, not alone at least.
Will, a farmer, is bored. The unknown calls to him, and saving his family is enough to push him on.
Gilan is a rising star among the knights of the kingdom. After the death of Sir David, his father, Gilan is dismayed. He knows in his heart that his death was murder, and he knows that Morgarath had something to do with it.
Crowley moves through the forests of Araluen with an entourage of “real” rangers under his command. Never having the heart to leave, he and the rangers travel across the kingdom, doing their jobs in secret, waiting for an opportunity to restore the Ranger Corps.
Halt is an assassin. When a messenger from Morgarath finds him in his home, Halt does not hesitate to take up the biggest offer he has ever received. Traveling to Araluen, he finds himself struggling with his identity and who he is really meant to be.
A farmer, knight, ranger, and assassin. Four strangers destined to rebuild Araluen from havoc. Morgarath’s reign is ending. Araluen needs to be saved.

The War of Rain and Night by ProfessorOfGallifrey

Summary
Morgarath and Duncan have been at war for over twenty years. After an ambush left Morgarath in control of Castle Araluen, Duncan is relying on his Rangers, his almost destroyed army, and his allies, the Arridi, to help take his country back and end this war once and for all.
At least, that's how the story has always been told. Nellie is an archeologist with her grandfather, Malcolm, studying Castle Araluen more than 600 years after Morgarath was defeated. However, when the group of close-knit historians find out that the sponsor for their dig has somehow sent Malcolm back in time to the very war they are studying, they have no choice but to go back in time themselves and try to rescue him.
However, studying history and living through it are two very different things. Now all of them just have to focus on finding each other, getting home, and hopefully not wrecking history in the process.

In response once again to the result of a poll upon the Tumblr realm- how useful that function is!- it has come to my attention that you peasants aspire to nonverbal communication. I, Lord Morgarath of the Mountains of Rain and Night, assure you that mastering silent discourse is as essential as breathing for those who dwell within the realm of refinement.

Summary
“You often speak in metaphors, my Lord.”
“It is the speech preferred among nobility, exhausting as it may be,” Morgarath said, and could not have promised he would’ve preferred it another way. “To open your mouth is to enter a game of strategy, and to close it is not necessarily to capitulate.”
Meratyn paused, for a moment. And Morgarath waited on him to ask the inevitable.
“Are we playing a game, my Lord?”
Morgarath closed his eyes. “Of sorts, I suppose.”
“And there are stakes, then.”
“There are always stakes, Crowley,” he said, quietly, and smiled at Meratyn. “Don’t ever let clever old men fool you into believing otherwise.”
