Over this time they have become intrinsically linked with their forest home, and their nature has changed to reflect Athel Loren Forsaking their ties to other Elven folk, the Wood Elves have become deeply secretive and suspicious, and shun al cutsilers.

Bones and skulls can often he seen con the outskirts of Athel Loren, many with arrows protruding from ribs or embeckied in eye-sockets, before they are obscured and covered by twisting roots and undergrowth or taken away by forest animals.

The Wood Elves have a distinct lack of interest in the goings on of the world outside of the forest, and care little for those who are not their own On occasion they must take part and battles beyond the borders of their forests, in order to save thelr homes from future threat, but this is rate indoed. If the Wood Elves could live their lives without interference from the world heyond their fey lands, then they would do. so gladly.

Over this time they have explored much of the world, soiling far from thoi home and discovering many new and unusual lands. For thousands of years they dd not view any of these far anay shores as places to settle, for their hountiful and. vasied island home provideal all chat they could nish for Ie was only after Ulthuan was wracked by the forces of Chaos, and after the death ofthe est Phoenix King, Aenarion, the fiercest Elven warrior ever to liv, that the Elves began to look at the lands keyond their coast as places to settle During the reign of the Phoenix King Bel Shanaar, who. ruled Uldhuan more then four thousand years before the birth of the human hero Sigmar, the Elves hegan to colonise the world. While the harbaric ancestors of humans fought amongst themselves, the Elves became the undisputed rulers of the seas, ‘Their elegant, white-sailed ships cut across the globe, and dey mapped the oceans, charted the lands, and set up many sertlemencs. ‘The largest concentration of colonies were based in a land they named Elthin Arvan, which became known by the younger races as the Old World. They established contact with the Dwarfs, and a grear er of trade and frierelship began between the two races. Jn the lands thar would one day be known as Breton the Empice and Kislew, the Bives built tall, delicate rowers of marble and gold. Many of che Elven colonists became strongly atched to their new homes, happy to make new start and forget the unhappiness ane! strife that had plagued Ulebusn in the previous millennia, slowly recovering from the horrors that they had witnessed when Chaos had overnin che fair ise.
