The Elves have various creation stories regarding Asuryan the Phoenix God.
The Old Ones eventually transferred the Elves from the Old World to the island continent of Ulthuan. The Elves were put under the care of the Slann, and learned much from their reptilian mentors, quickly achieving a high level of civilisation, as well as an understanding of the dangers of Chaos. The ancestors of the Elves, along with those of the Dwarfs and Humans, were introduced to the Warhammer World by the Old Ones. The three kindreds of the Elven race High Elves, Dark Elves and Wood Elves Early Age At worst, they can become "lost" in their experiences, over-indulging and losing track of reality, which makes them a favoured target of corruption by the Chaos God of pleasure and excess, Slaanesh. At best, this can result in them spending centuries obsessively training or honing a skill to perfection. Elves experience emotions and thoughts more intensely than most other intelligent races. There is also some evidence that Chaos can affect Elven minds in more subtle ways. However this must also be attributed to the fact the winds of magic cannot dominate them to the same degree as humans, giving them the ability to wield them on balance without the danger a human magister (who would have trouble using any wind besides the one that dominates his or her being ).Elves are resistant to disease and to physical mutations caused by Chaos, although notably they are still vulnerable to Nurgle's Rot. This is in contrast to human wizards, who can usually only hope to wield one form of magic during their lifetimes. It is to be noted that such achievements seem to be products of dark magic.Įlves are inherently magical, and their long lives provide magically-gifted elves more than enough time to train their skill at controlling many of the Winds of Magic. It is not considered impossible for an Elf to live seven thousand years or more, although only Malekith, the Witch King of Naggaroth (and his Mother Morathi) could claim such an achievement at present. What defines each kindred of Elves more than anything else is their different cultures.Īssuming they do not die a violent death, Elves are capable of living for several thousand years. High Elves are often shown with blonde hair, Wood Elves with brown and Dark Elves with black, but these changes are minor and cosmetic and the three groups are for the most part physically indistinguishable and all members of the same species.
Some depictions show them with completely black eyes, while in others they possess normal, human-like pupils and irises. They possess high cheekbones and slightly angular faces and slanted eyes. Compared to humans, Elves are taller, fair-skinned, and slender.
