What I think should also be mentioned about the elves is their EXTREME emotionality. They are able to experience all emotions far more intense then humans, thus bouth pleasure, sorrow, haterd and love are experienced much stronger by them, thus its very easy for an elf to "get lost" in a certain emotion and becoming close to unable to get out of it...thus an elf can completly get drowned in his/her sorrow or get addicted to sensationalistic pleasure seeking driving himself to greater and greater sensation. This is the explanation for the dark elves sadism btw, it is dificult to understand for a human but an elf can easily experience massive pleasure from inflicting pain and the feeling of power it gives him (combined with drugs), it is basicly addictive and the elf soon loses all other desires exept experiencing more of it....This is why high elf culture is so strongly centered on self controll and every elf has always be on guard for falling into the pits of his own emotions.....

[@Hiyama420]

Your mention of the Phoenix King choosing the Everqueen is mistaken, FYI. The title of Everqueen passes from Mother to Daughter in an unbroken line from the first Everqueen (First recorded is Astarielle, wife of Aenarion). The firstborn daughter of the Everqueen and Phoenix King's marriage is recognized as the Everchild and heir to the mantle of Everqueen.

[@tiffles3890]

+Hiyama420 Thats ridiculous. Lets say the son of the Phoenix king becomes the new Phoenix King. Is he going to now fuck his own sister? Thats disgusting.

[@Hiyama420]

Hey man, not defending the ethics behind the decision. All I'm saying is that's what the fluff says: "The position of Everqueen is always taken up by the firstborn daughter of the previous queen, conceived during her year-long ritual marriage to the Phoenix King." - Warhammer Armies: High Elves (8th Edition), pg. 15.

[@tiffles3890]

Jimmy De'Souza Pink?

[@Hiyama420]

Gaurab Chatterjee I do, but considering that the source is the last Army Book before WHFB got nuked, it seems pretty definitive. The Malekith omnibus does seem to suggest that the High Elves try to avoid incestuous Phoenix King/Everqueen pairings, as they were pretty hesitant to have Malekith be crowned when Yvraine, his half-sister was Everqueen.

Now Melkor is locked away hanging from the gate to the world until the end of Ea.

[@nathanodonovan6708]

Bear in mind Tolkein’s Elves are indirectly responsible for a great deal of suffering, from the Sinking of Beleriand and basically all the warring before then to the War of the Ring itself, given that if they’d had the slightest bit of savviness about them they’d never have forged any of the Rings in the first place. All of their giving up their homeland and such is basically just them fixing stuff they screwed up millennia prior.

On the point of high elves having a god of rape and all sorts of other awful things; I agree, on superficial glance it sounds like an awful idea to have a church for something like rape. However, there is a certain element of brutal honesty in this. All people, elves included, have some darker aspect within themselves, pretending that's not true doesn't help anyone in any way. So what's the solution of the elves? Face the inner darkness, do not shy from it, do not let it over come you and never forget. Atleast, that's how it seems to me.

The "Nanananana! You can't have it!" bit just cracked me up. That image of Dwarves taunting elves like that is just awesome.

I'm pretty sure it's heavily hinted at that the war with the demons lasted for several decades, and possibly even as long as a century, since Malekith was born during the war, and he was a young adult when Aenarion died and Bel-Shanaar was elected. So probably around 60 years old at the very least. Plus, Anlec was build by Aenarion, and it was one of the most powerful citadels in the known world, an architectural masterpiece that could have taken - again - decades, if not centuries. Princes were not as much previous tribal chiefs as they were the warriors in the retinue of Aenarion's generals, a military corps that became the elven aristocracy later on, explaining why nobles treasure the weapons forged for their ancestors by the priests of Vaul, as they are signs of their warrior lineage.

[@DracoAvian]

First of all, fuck the End Times. Everything about that is fucked. There was so much retconned lore in that. As far as our attitude towards the other races... All your greatest wars and battles are PETTY compared to the shit the High Elves have seen. Arch really doesn't sell the desperation that was Caledor's solution to chaos. The world was straight up doomed. As in ripe to be ravaged by chaos. Even Aenarion drawing the Sword of Khaine only served to delay the fall of the Elves. None of the High Elves history in the early incursions of chaos is 'mythical' history. Shits straight up hardcore fact. High Elves are basically immortal, crazy few having died of 'old age.' The oldest always seem to get killed saving the world from exploding. As far as the High Elf religion goes, elves believe in a duality of "human nature." Somewhat chaotic in the 40k sense, but they believe there is a time for everything. Growing, harvesting, creating, and destroying. The worship of Khaine pretty much only takes place on the battlefield. The don't believe that someone is either entirely good or entirely evil. For instance, murder or war is evil, but necessary. But devoting yourself to war is not balanced. This is why the rest of the High Elves are suspicious of the Shadow Warriors. All in all, yes we're haughty. Yes we're arrogant. Yes we occasionally run into the old world or some other place and kill a bunch of people. But we taught you magic. Magic. We are the single reason you have that. Additionally, more often than not, we pull all your asses out of the fire. So, sure. We're dicks. But we're largely good dicks. The Dark Elves are the real bastards.

They have the incarnations of the triple goddess as the mother, maiden, crone AND they have a Hecate stand in, kind of overkill. They also have their stand ins for greek mythology, including Artemis, Athena and Aries. Lastly, they also have a few references to Arthurian mythology. I know the authors were history enthusiasts, but they could have stood to not be so overt with their inspiration source when making the elven pantheon. It also seems like the first Phoenix King was King Arthur and Malekith is Mordred (with a dash of the Witch King of Angmar).

Well basically, the forces of Chaos decided to stop messing around and finally destroy the world, and so they send their greatest champion. While this goes on, major characters die left and right, some are ok while others completely ruin whatever development they had, and many characters act unlike themselves. And after all these atrocities were carried out, the whole world blew up after a literal world war, and those “lucky” few were transported to the Age of Sigmar, from what I’ve seen is basically fantasy combined with 40k. Malikeith was suddenly a hero to Elf kind (even though he at this point wished nothing more than their extinction) the Human nations were all destroyed by the Skaven, and many key bits of lore were heavy altered and the story made very little sense. Gw basically did this because, just like the Imperium, they don’t care much for innovation or expanding the universe into something more interesting, seemingly wanting to remain boring decided to kill off the universe altogether.

(prenominal) very experienced; expert: an arch criminal 3. knowing or superior 4. playfully or affectedly roguish or mischievous I'm guessing mostly 2 (in matter of Warhammer, at least) with a smattering of 3 and 4. Anyway, good work on the Warhammer lore videos.

I like high elfs a lot, and I hate the other elfs

[@bustedcogitator8954]

Dwarves: my crown now

[@mw_nogodsnoheroes6622]

Praying the high elves will be in warhammer total war in one form or another XD

[@americana_incarnate1717]

the high elves bureaucracy is hilarious

[@cjc2010]

I noticed you pronounced the Ulthuan provinces differently. I personally pronounce Cothique with a long "o" and like unique. For Yvresse, I say eve-reese (like peace) out of personal preference😃 Also I noticed that a lot of people, not just you, call Lothern "Lothren". Not being critical, I just think it's interesting. There is no definitive right way to pronounce any of the provinces except for maybe Eataine.

arch hate to do this but the phoenix king and the everqueen is the oldest daughter and then becomes the next everqueen when the previous everqueen dies so it is hereditary and that is what the year long marriage is for miner point

[@RobloxViedosForYou]

Do you think that Chaos Dwarves will appear in anyway?

[@richardkuhlmeyer2329]

wft is the end times and why such hate? p.s. i'm new to this universe and too lazy to do reaserch(google). p.p.s. screw shift on my broken ass keyboard...

[@ebenezer1690]

Arch, I declare your least coherent ramblings are better if not more melodic than most of Cicero's stylings.

[@DukeofItaly]

Hey the Belshanar thing you said reminds me of the Biblical story of Daniel, which is about a king called Bellshazzar I think

[@Ahrimane]

Duke of Italy They were certainly inspired by Babylonian names. Bel means "lord" or "master" which is pretty appropriate for a king.

[@marcus2k663]

Never mind you explain it at the end
