"An archer is as quick as a fox and has the eyes of an eagle. Even though archers may look cold hearted and distant, they fight for nature and possess a vast amount of knowledge that they use to their advantage. Their ancient lore includes knowledge about poison and toxins and using the energy in nature. Archers use their weapons in close combat and long range combat with lethal accuracy." ~Nostale UK.
