[edit] High Magic

I notice that this article does not mention High Magic. I will add a brief reference. --David.Mestel 17:14, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

I'm also not sure that the Roman Army analogy is really valid. However, I'll leave it in for now. --David.Mestel 17:15, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

hey I'm going to add in how Malekieth was burned in the Eternal Flame, and therefore not the rightful Pheonix King. Also didn't Aenarion, two kids before Malekieth- Morelion, and Yvraine.(Lucas(CA) 01:52, 27 August 2006 (UTC))

Yes, he did. Yvraine became the next Everqueen, while Morelion (as the son of Astarielle) was older than Malekith and would thus have been the real successor to Aenarion's throne. I'll make that minor change now. Lathaniel

[edit] Intro

This intro really needs redoing; it says more about the Dark Elves than High Elves. In fact, there is more Dark Elves info in this intro than in the Dark Elves article intro. Anyone with a good High Elves background able to change?

The beginnings of the High Elves are rooted in the stories of the Old Ones and how they came to the WH world, creating new races, among which were the elves and Dwarfs. The High Elves are only a fragment of what they once were, though, because in a way, they have been defined by the Sundering (where the Dark Elves broke away) and the War of the Beard (at the end of which, they withdrew to Ulthuan). So while there could certainly be some things added (if nobody else does, I'll do it myself, and at the same time correct some of the spelling mistakes I can spot), the parts referring to the Dark Elves should certainly remain.

The intro says that elves are "nearly immortal" and then gives an approximate life expectancy. That's not nearly immortal.

[edit] Atlantis??

I dont know if Games Workshop has said somewhere that they represent Atlantis, but i always thought they was more like eskimos, thinking on its geographical location similar to GreenlandRovdur 19:15, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

Don't mean to flame, but you have poor goegraphical knowledge if you think that Greenland is in the middle of the Atlantic parallel with Central America. TheTrojanHought 11:13, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Magic

I belive the section on high Magic is copied directly from the High Elf Army Book. General Aion 22:25, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Improve Link

Would it not be better if the pages for the elves were titled by their names for each other Dark Elves-Druchii, High Elves-Asur and Wood Elves-Asrai in brackets or something. Just wondering. TheTrojanHought 11:13, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

Realised it would cause confusion as there is a band called "Asrai". TheTrojanHought (talk) 11:34, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Honours

The "vandalism" that was just removed wasn't actually vandalism as the Honours have been removed from the newest edition of the HE army book. Should we remove them from the article as they are not representitve of the new High Elves, or keep them for "fluff" purposes? TheTrojanHought (talk) 11:36, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

Keep the Honours in, and say that they come from the earlier (6th?) edition, and aren't in the 7th, it would help bring some real-world context to the article. --Davémon (talk) 20:25, 23 November 2007 (UTC)
