Okay...let me see if I have everything straight...
Nerindel will not be taking over Hanasian or changing his name? If that is the case, then we need to write Hanasian out of the story. I don't think it would work to use him as an NCE.
Whether we bring in another Ranger character or not really depends on whether Nerindel would like to write another Ranger. Frankly, as long as we can fill the holes in the plot that Hanasian leaves behind, I really don't think we need to add another Ranger...although another Ranger would be nice!
Here are the plot problems that arise with writing Hanasian out...
1) The growing sympathy between Vanwe and Hanasian. Perhaps we can work out a way for Maethor or a new Ranger to fill this gap.
2) The connection between Benia & Hanasian. This is not central to the plot & can be dropped. I can always come up with something else.
3) Vanwe's pouch. With a little editing, I think Hanasian can hand it over to Maethor or the new Ranger.
