The Ties of Fate
[Image ID: A drawing of two emblems, one a leopardās eye and the other a snakeās eye. The leopard is red and the snake is yellow, and both of them have a sort of lightning strike reaching towards each other. /End ID]
::: ::: :::
The bells were ringing again. It was a sound they all dreaded, a sound that dampened the usual cheer of the dawn of a new day.
It was the sound of war.
Will Barret lowered the bowāthe bow heād made from a tree branchāand turned to watch as the single rider made his way along the road. A coil of unease slithered inside him, and without a second thought, he leaped through the little woods, towards the farmhouse in the field.
Daniel was already outside, carrying the shovel back into the barn. āDad!ā Will shouted. His father looked up and waved a hand, stopping as he waited.
āIs everything alright?ā
He slowed down, panting. āRider,ā he said, letting out a slow breath. āThereās a rider coming.ā
::: ::: :::
This is my AU submission for the Ranger assessment! (More info under the cut)
Itās kinda of a reversal AU, but also not really because about half of it remains the same. Itās also still very rough so I havenāt figured out all the logistics yet.
Morgarath was never defeated. In fact, the original war continued on much longer, with each group taking heavy losses. So much so that it came to a point where a tense truce was offered.
Unfortunately, Morgarathās advances reached from Gorlan to a shaky line across Araluen. Thus Araluen was split into Duncanās land and Morgarathās land (now known as Tenebris).
The erasure of the Ranger Corps did happen. And Crowley did end up uniting the Originals to help Duncan. Unlike in the main timeline, he did it alone.
Halt OāCarrick, once heir to the throne of Dun Kilty, faced the same assassination attempts from his brother Ferris. It was around the third attempt that their father grew extremely ill.
Instead of allowing Ferris to take the throne, Halt was determined to keep his brotherās corruption from spreading. So he stayed. Caitlyn was the first to know. Halt had his own ensemble that was loyal to him, and managed to keep Ferris compliant for the time being. And so when the King died, Halt took the throne.
In this AU, he still met Pritchard and trained with him. His main weapon is still a bow and arrow. He has his own guards practice the weapon as well. For a while, everything went relatively smoothly.
There was no Ranger to save, and Daniel survived. The other two who ransacked his home in the original story (I canāt remember their names) still tried to pull their stunt but were unsuccessful. His wife lived and so did Will. For fifteen years, all was still.
(For reference, I gave them the last name of Barret. Vira is his wife and Willās mother)
When the war commences once more, Will is forced back into it as well as his father. Will proves to be not so competent in most weaponry and finds himself with the archers.
The rest of the Wards are still in their respective places. As Morgarath plans, Battleschool students, Diplomats, and Scribes are all doing their own part.
Horace is a natural when it comes to swordsmanship, but not when it comes to fitting in. His mother lives alone, and he worries about her every day. Alda, Bryn, and Jerome make his life a living hell every day and he almost wishes he never joined.
Alyss strives to be everything Lady Pauline is. Her family is still gone, and so she did grow up in the Ward with George and a few others. Coincidentally, a popular baker in town frequents Castle Redmont to help with any major events. Her daughter, Jenny, often tags along and spends time with Alyss and George.
Never given the opportunity to choose another path, Gilan is a respected knight in Caraway. He still looks to the Rangers with longing and envy, but he knows itās far too late to join. And besides, this is what everyone expected of him, right? As the Battlemasterās son, itās only natural.
At the start of the AU, Cassandra is placed in Celtica. Which geographically speaking is still weird because I have no idea how she would have made it even with a truce, but Iāll figure it out. The war did start again some time after she had arrived, so thereās that. Madelydd and her get into all sorts of antics and enjoy spending time with one another.
As the war starts, Crowley and Duncan are noticeably concerned about the growing size of Morgarathās army. They will need more support if they have any hope of winning, but international relationships are not so well off. Fortunately, though small, an army from Hibernia decides to cut in on the decision of one of the six Kings - Halt OāCarrick
And of course, Ferris sees this as the perfect moment to strike. His brother leaves Caitlyn and Ferris in charge, not without sparing a few of his men to keep an eye on his brother. Unfortunately, Ferris has his own loyal followers. If the King were to leave to fight a war and never return, no one would bat an eye, after all.
No one except Caitlyn.
Anyways, thatās all I have for now! Everything will tie together eventually, I just have to figure out how to get there, lol.

Home-improvement business Loweās has joined a growing list of companies to retreat from commitments on equality, diversity and inclusion (DEI), as a right-wing activistās campaign continues. In recent months, conservative activist Robby Starbuck has drummed up outrage over large US corporationsā commitments to so-called woke policies. Several big-name businesses, including Harley-Davidson, Jack Daniels and John Deere, have already caved into pressure from the campaign. Now, an internal memo, being widely shared in the media, shows retail chain Loweās appears to be the latest brand to back down by announcing an end to its participation in surveys for the Human Rights Campaign (HRC), as well as by combining employee groups into one umbrella organisation and ending support for āfestivals, parades and fairsā ā arguably meaning Pride events.

Elsie Carson-Holt at LGBTQ:
Jack Danielās has joined a growing number of brands that have cut their commitments to diversity, after conservative influencer Robby Starbuck threatened to make the company his next target. Last week, it was Harley Davidson, and before them it was Tractor Supply Co. and John Deere. Starbuckās method of rallying his online followers to deluge companies social media with complaints about their diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives and donations to social justice organizations has proven effective.
Jack Danielās, the whiskey company, is the latest. On August 21, Starbuck posted onĀ XĀ (formerly known as Twitter) āBig news: The next company we were set to expose was Jack Daniels,ā but that the company had ended several initiatives and partnerships.
Starbuck said, āThey must have been tipped off by us going through employee LinkedIn pagesā and that the company had ājust preemptively announcedā changes to DEI programs. Starbuck had obtained an email from Brown Forman (Jack Danielās parent company) saying that āthe world has evolvedā since launching a DEI campaign in 2019. The company said that since January, it had been evolving the current program to a āstrategic framework,ā which includes ending its partnership with the Human Rights Campaign and its Corporate Equality Index (CEI), which tracks how large employers treat their LGBTQ+ employees through various policies.
Jack Danielās is the latest company to shamefully cave into right-wing faux outrage artist Robby Starbuckās bad-faith campaign against DEI and LGBTQ+ initiatives in workplaces by ending their participation in Human Rights Campaignās CEI program and diversity initiatives.

Whenever you feel alone, just remember that those kings will always be there to guide you. And so will I.
Born to a turbulent family on a Mississippi farm, James Earl Jones passed away today. He was ninety-three years old. Abandoned by his parents as a child and raised by a racist grandmother (although he later reconciled with his actor father and performed alongside him as an adult), the trauma of his childhood developed into a stutter that followed him through his primary school years ā sometimes, his stutter was so debilitating, he could not speak at all. In high school, Jones found in an English teacher someone who found in him a talent for written expression, and encouraged him to write and recite poetry in class. He overcame his stutter by graduation, although the effects of it carried over for the remainder of his life.
Jones' most accomplished roles may have been on the Broadway stage, where he won three Tonys (twice winning Best Actor in a Play for originating the lead roles in 1969's The Great White Hope by Howard Sackler and 1987's Fences by August Wilson) and was considered one of the best Shakespearean actors of his time.
But his contributions to cinema left an impact on audiences, too. Jones received an Honorary Academy Award alongside makeup artist Dick Smith (1972's The Godfather, 1984's Amadeus) in 2011. From the end of Hollywood's Golden Age to the dawn of the summer Hollywood blockbuster in the 1970s to the present, Jones' presence ā and his basso profundo voice ā could scarcely be ignored. Though he could not sing like Paul Robeson nor had the looks of Sidney Poitier, his presence and command put him in league of both of his acting predecessors.
Ten of the films James Earl Jones appeared in, whether in-person or voice acting, follow (left-right, descending):
Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb (1964) ā directed by Stanley Kubrick; also starring Peter Sellers, George C. Scott, Sterling Hayden, Keenan Wynn, and Slim Pickens
The Great White Hope (1970) ā directed by Martin Ritt; also starring Jane Alexander, Chester Morris, Hal Holbrook Beah Richards, and Moses Gunn
Star Wars saga (1977-2019; A New Hope pictured) ā multiple directors, as the voice of Darth Vader, also starring Mark Hamill, Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher, Peter Cushing, Alec Guinness, Billy Dee Williams, Anthony Daniels, David Prowse, Kenny Baker, Peter Mayhew, and Frank Oz
Claudine (1974) ā directed by John Berry; also starring Diahann Carroll, Lawrence Hilton-Jacobs, and Tamu Blackwell
Conan the Barbarian (1982) ā directed by John Milius; also starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sandahl Bergman, Ben Davidson, Cassandra Gaviola, Gerry Lopez, Mako, Valerie Quennessen, William Smith, and Max von Sydow
Coming to America series (1988 and 2021; original pictured) ā multiple directors; also starring Eddie Murphy, Arsenio Hall, John Amos, Madge Sinclair, Shari Headley, Jermaine Fowler, Leslie Jones, Tracy Morgan, and KiKi Layne
The Hunt for Red October (1990) ā directed by John McTiernan; also starring Sean Connery, Alec Baldwin, Scott Glenn, and Sam Neill
The Sandlot (1993) ā directed by David Mickey Evans; also staring Tom Guiry, Mike Vitar, Patrick Renna, Chauncey Leopardi, Marty York, Brandon Adams, Grant Gelt, Shane Obedzinski, Victor DiMattia, Denis Leary, and Karen Allen
The Lion King (1994) ā directed by Roger Allers and Rob Minkoff, as the voice of Mufasa; also starring Jonathan Taylor Thomas, Matthew Broderick, Jeremy Irons, Moira Kelly, Niketa Calame, Ernie Sabella, Nathan Lane, and Robert Guillaume, Rowan Atkinson, Whoopi Goldberg, Cheech Marin, Jim Cummings, and Madge Sinclair
Field of Dreams (1989) ā directed by Phil Alden Robinson; also starring Kevin Costner, Amy Madigan, Ray Liotta, and Burt Lancaster

Robby Starbuck, the former music video director behind clips like āSuper Colliderā for Megadeth, has a new job: hectoring companies to drop their Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) programs and cut their ties to the Human Rights Campaign (HRC) and the organizationās Corporate Equality Index (CEI). But Starbuckās successes may hint that these companies were never actually invested in DEI to begin with.
This summer, he convinced Harley-Davidson, Jack Danielās parent company Brown-Forman, Ford Motor Co., Loweās, Tractor Supply Co., John Deere, and most recently large-equipment manufacturer Caterpillar Inc. Starbuck calls these corporate decisions āa massive win for sanity.ā

By Tyler Durden
Anti-woke crusader Robby StarbuckĀ has been on a mission to shift the corporate landscape in America from insanity and rainbows to what he considers "sanity and neutrality." He has successfully pressured companies such asĀ Tractor Supply,Ā John Deere,Ā Harley-Davidson, Polaris, Indian Motorcycle,Ā Lowe's,Ā Ford,Ā Coors, Stanley Black & Decker,Ā Jack Daniel's, DeWalt Tools, Craftsman,Ā Caterpillar,Ā Boeing, andĀ ToyotaĀ to move away from toxic Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) practices.
Now, Starbuck is at it again. HeĀ wrote on XĀ thatĀ America's largest employer, Walmart, has decided to end its woke policiesĀ after he "had productive conversations to find solutions" with management.
He stated that theĀ changes Walmart committed to "will send shockwaves throughout corporate America," adding that their executives deserve "major credit" for wanting to end corporate wokeness.
"This is the biggest win yet for our movement to end wokeness in corporate America," Starbuck said.
Here are the changes Walmart committed to:
Surveys: Walmart will no longer participate in the HRC's woke Corporate Equality Index.
Products: Monitor the Walmart marketplace to identify and remove inappropriate sexual and / or transgender products marketed to children.
Funding of Grants: Review all funding of Pride, and other events, to avoid funding inappropriate sexualized content targeting kids.
Equity: We will not extend the Racial Equity Center which was established in 2020 as a special five-year initiative.
Supplier Diversity: We will evaluate supplier diversity programs and ensure they do not provide preferential treatment and benefits to suppliers based on diversity. We don't have quotas and won't going forward. Financing eligibility will no longer be predicated on providing certain demographic data.
LatinX: Walmart will no longer use the term in official communications.
Trainings: Walmart will discontinue racial equity training through the Racial Equity Institute.
DEI: Walmart will discontinue the use of DEI as a term while ensuring a respectful and supportive environment. Our focus is on Belonging for ALL associates and customers.

Jack Danielās maker scraps DEI policies after threat of āanti-wokeā boycott
The maker of Jack Danielās whisky said it will pull back on its DEI initiatives, buckling to pressure on social media as an āanti-wokeā activist said he was preparing to launch a boycott.
Spirits giant Brown-Forman Corp. ā with a market capitalization of $21.37 billion ā is the latest company to scrap its diversity, equity and inclusion program, following Harley-Davidson, Tractor Supply and John Deere.
Major firms that rely heavily on a red state clientele have been caving to boycott pressure from corporate activist Robby Starbuck, who said Jack Danielās was next on the list, but that the company reversed its policies before he got the chance to lead a boycott.
āWeāre now forcing multi-billion dollar organizations to change their policies without even posting just from fear they have of being the next company that we expose,ā Starbuck said on X.
Brown-Forman will stop linking bonuses and pay to DEI progress, end its participation in an annual ranking of companies with an LGBTQ-friendly environment and throw out its plans to push for a more diverse group of suppliers, according to a copy of an internal memo posted on X.
The company previously tied 10% of executivesā short-term compensation to progress on DEI goals, according to a 2023 annual report.
