How many generations is the family? 
[/quote]

About 44- the general rule for calculating generations is [current year-base year]/25, to simulate 25-year generations. I'd say that the family's been around since about 900 AD, but hasn't really tried to do much in the way of influence.

Whatever this method of getting around the range problem is, add it to the profile.

Will do!

No bows from Yggdrasil wood, that's too high-tier. They can be enchanted to go for long distances/ignore outside influences, but it shouldn't be at the level of literal travel for days. If people could do that then brooms would be useless and Arash would be old and busted.

I have no idea what brooms have to do with archery, but okay.

Runes are fine, but since they're runes, I will ask that you provide a runic alphabet. Ergo, pick something like Elder Futhark or whichever he'll use, and give the effect each rune makes. Since he's experienced and runes are his thing, he'll be able to understand the true meaning of the rune.

I was assuming Elder and/or Younger Futhark, given the whole "viking mage" thing. The thing is, the way runic and heiroglyphic writing systems work involves a lot of contextual interpretation, and combinations of runes do various things with the word. I'm afraid I'd rather not do 12,144 entries detailing every possible permutation of 3 runes.
