The High Elves, or the Asur, as they call themselves, are one of the most ancient and powerful mortal civilizations within the Warhammer World. Hailing from a mighty mist-shrouded island continent located within the center of the Great Ocean, the High Elves of Ulthuan are a proud and mighty nation of masterful warriors, peerless mages, and lords of the sky and sea. They are an ancient race with powerful armies and even grander magic, building a grand and all-mighty civilization who, alongside the Dwarfs, fought a long-forgotten, apocalyptic war that saw some of the greatest and most powerful mortal heroes battle against the great darkness that tried to consume the world many thousands of years ago. At the zenith of their power, the world was truly theirs for the taking.

Yet their noble and compassionate nature, once one of the Elves greatest and most notable characteristics was soon replaced by a great sense of pride and hubris in their vanity and superiority. In their blind arrogance, they've only succeeded in shattering their once powerful friendship with the Dwarfs, culminating in a Great War.
