What the Eradan record supports
The strongest claim on this page is the simplest one: Eradan is a playable Ranger in the captured Fellowship roster. That pairing is enough to make the page useful in a search result and a co-op conversation. It tells a player which canonical name to select and which class label to expect, while avoiding a fabricated list of abilities, statistics or recommended equipment. Those omissions are a feature of a bounded record, not a missing invitation to guess.
The current edition context matters because the product register distinguishes the 2026 Legacy Edition from the 2011 original PC release. If a guide uses Eradan’s name without an edition label, start with Editions and Platforms and then return here. The name belongs to the roster, but the surrounding source language may come from the original manual or an older video. The page makes that route explicit rather than hiding the distinction in a footnote.
For play, use the class label as a first orientation and continue to Combat and Loot for shared terms. The guide explains War Cry, Sanctuary, Evasion and elfstones at the system level because those are the mechanics and vocabulary the bound sources support. It does not pretend that the Ranger label alone determines a damage rotation. A player can therefore make a first choice and still keep the next question open.
A clean next step for a Ranger choice
Mark Eradan in the Fellowship checklist if this is the hero you want to try. The checklist stores the stable ID locally and reports progress; it does not change the page’s facts. Then read the combat guide’s section on the original manual boundary before treating a term in an older walkthrough as a current-edition promise. This sequence keeps a practical player task next to an exact identity record.
If you are comparing the roster with friends, keep the matrix open and compare only the common fields. Eradan’s Ranger line is directly comparable with Andriel’s Elf line and Farin’s Dwarf line. The page’s purpose is to make that comparison legible, not to decide which friend should play which hero. The achievement route can then answer a separate question about objectives, including the exact wording of Relentless and cooperative records.
The detail page also links back to the current store and the official Fellowship video. Those sources ground the name in a product and a first-party visual record. The video is click-to-load so a player on a phone can reach the identity and action link before third-party media is requested.
