According to their leader, Julia, The City of Mages has always been guarded by the Rangers—traditionally so, dating back to the ancient city of Moon in old Sosaria, where Moonshade's ancestors originated. The Rangers came into being so that the city's busy and powerful mages were not forced to deal with every common thief or brawler, allowing the powerful mages to continue their work unhindered. Unfortunately, the Rangers of Moonshade were, in fact, a far cry from their Britannian brethren.
