Can I just say that there is a startling lack of real variety here?

Almost EVERYONE is skilled with a bow. Just about EVERYONE is skilled with a short blade. Everyone's some kind of ranger/forager, whether directly/formally, or indirectly/informally. So, uh, why the hell is everyone still exactly the same thing? If everyone is so good with a bow, it'd be smarter to cut down the forests of Everautumn and simply have a regiment of archers to shoot down any lycans before they get close.
