High Elves (Warhammer)In Games Workshop's Warhammer Fantasy setting, the High Elves are a race of Elves who live on the Isle of Ulthuan, analogous to Atlantis. They are nearly immortal, and their Mages are among the best in the world. Many thousands of years ago, the dark elves were once High Elves, and lived in Ulthuan. Malekith was the son of the Phoenix King and thus was, according to birthright, the rightful successor to the throne. However, Malekith was far more warlike than any of the High Elven court was willing to put up with, and instead a different king was chosen. The ensuing dissent led to a civil war that raged across Ulthuan and eventually brought about the exile of Malekith, his mother Morathi, and his followers from Ulthuan. This group relocated to Naggaroth, the Land of Chill, and founded the Six Cities (Naggarond, Hag Graef, Ghrond, Karond Kar, Clar Karond, Har Ganeth). While playing the Warhammer Fantasy Battle tabletop wargame, Elves are generally expensive, but have high leadership, initiative and movement. Their most successful tactics are similar to those of the Roman army. Though usually considered a strictly defensive army, they are highly adaptable and are one of the most rewarding armies for a cunning player.
