'''Prince Imrik''' is a [[High Elves (Warhammer Fantasy)|High Elf]] Prince in [[Warhammer Fantasy Battle]]. Also known as '''The Dragonlord''', he is the representative for the High Elf kingdom of [[Ulthuan|Caledor]], a Kingdom known for being the home to Dragons, Volcanoes, and assholes who are so arrogant and up their own ass that even other High Elves have a hard time tolerating them.

He is the last in the line of [[Caledor the Dragontamer]], Which has given him a high amount of privilege and a massive ego.

==Life==

Imrik's story starts where most High Elf princes' stories end, unconscious in the middle of a field after getting his ass whooped by [[Dark Elves (Warhammer Fantasy)|Dark Elves]]. Fortunately for him, before the Druchii could get to work doing god knows what to his anus, they heard the roar of a massive Star Dragon who came flying doing the mountainside to rescue Imrik. The Dark Elves who were stupid enough to stay behind to fight the death lizard where torn to pieces, and The dragon was able to get Imrik to safety. This was Minaithnir, the most powerful of the still living dragons on Ulthuan, who decided he would fight alongside Imrik from now on. Why did he decide this guy who just got his ass whooped would be a worthy partner? Who knows.

Since then Imrik and his new dragon buddy have been travelling all over the Warhammer world, kicking ass and taking names. Not so much in the name of Ulthuan, but to stroke an ego so large that even most other High Elves find it annoying. He sent aid to the Bretonnians against a massive Beastmen horde purely to protect a waystone, then bitched when the Bretonnian king got more kills then him. He always held jealousy over [[Tyrion]] and [[Teclis]] for being more popular than him, and feels like Caledor is doing all the heavy lifting for Ulthuan despite the fact all he really does is go fighting to satisfy his own quests for glory (and that the dragons, not the elves, are the ones doing all that heavy lifting).

He is considered one of the greatest heroes in Ulthuan, but in terms of the lore he is honestly one of the least explored, interesting and flushed out character the High Elves have. He's a haughty royal douche-bag, which is about as generic a personality you can give a High Elf in Warhammer, especially one from Caledor. The only difference is he's willing to get off his ass and do something. Even on the tabletop he was mainly just "A prince on a star dragon but better." Compare him to many other High Elf characters, who are exceptions to the normal rules of the High Elves rather than the norm:

*While most High Elves avoid conflict if necessary due to their dwindling numbers, Tyrion is obsessed with war and conflict as it's the only thing he's good at, along with having anger management problems. Also, despite being super-popular there's only a few people he's close to.

*Teclis is a cripple who actually wants to support the other races to fight against Chaos, and actually considers their wants and needs, while most High Elves view them barely better than apes.

*Alarielle is pretty much the only Everqueen who has actually goes out fighting instead of deal with more cultural and religious practices.

*While most High Elves find no fault in themselves and think that only Dark Elves and Chaos are a threat, [[Eltharion]] is more cynical to his people and realizes there are other races that can be a threat to Ulthuan.

*Alith Anar is the completely opposite of Eltharion with the same cynicism to his kingdom of Nagarythe. Focus mainly on Dark Elves and their leaders and anyone that trespasses his land. Also a completely edgy loner among the High Elves and the last of his bloodline.

Imrik is the norm, not an exception which makes it hard for him to stand out, and is probably why he hasn't been playable on the table top since 6th edition. He does have two redeemable traits, one being he actually forces the other Princes of Caledor to stop jerking off to photos of their infinitely more bad ass ancestors and do something, and he will uphold his oaths no matter what. This makes him bro tier to an extent, but is still a bit of a dick.

==End Times==
Imrik was such a big dick that he tried to blackmail his way into becoming Pheonix King by refusing to lend anyone in Ulthuan the aid of the dragons unless they crown him (which the dragons were apparently okay with despite their disregard for non-dragon politics), and all this during a major daemonic invasion of Ulthuan. Tyrion finally had enough of his bullshit and told them that he and Caledor need to get their fucking act together and get their heads out of their asses, threatening to embargo the kingdom if they don't. Imrik responded by ceding from the Phoenix Throne and declared Caledor independent. When Tyrion tried to reconcile so they could fight off the daemons, Imrik threw the offer back in his face and decided to join [[Malekith]] after the latter gave back some dragon eggs.

Yup, this "Hero of Ulthuan" betrayed his people and joined their worst enemy because someone finally stood up to their arrogant BS. What a hero... He survived the destruction of Ulthuan due to his dragon flying them to Athel Loren.

{{Topquote|Fear the shadow, fear my name, ALITH. ANAR.|<s>Dylan Sprouse</s> Alith Anar}}

[[Image:Alith Anar white hair.PNG|450px|thumb|right|No running in my Nargarythe.]]

'''Alith Anar''' is a [[High Elves (Warhammer Fantasy)|High Elf]] lord and the last of the Nargarythe noble bloodline in [[Warhammer Fantasy Battle]]. Also known as '''The Shadow King''', he is the representative for the High Elf kingdom of [[Ulthuan|Shadowlands, formerly known as Nargarythe]], a Kingdom known for being: the former home to [[Malekith]], the place housing Aenarion's bloody pimp mansion and Khaine's sword shrine, being the birth place of the Dark Elves and the only wasteland on Ulthuan. (AKA. a really nice place to spend your vacation.) As the last and only ruler of Shadowlands, Alith Anar is restless, ever seeking vengeance against Malekith and his Dark Elves for what they did to his homeland, to the point he had his agents and what remains of his people torture and murder any Dark Elves they could find. He excels in guerrilla warfare to the point that even Eshin Skavens have hard time fighting him as well as having shooting skills that would make [[Wood Elves|Way Watchers]] drool over. Said shooting skill is boosted by a godly bow offered by the godness Lileath, which it is powerful enough to be considered a bolt thrower.

== Past ==
An only child of the Anar family, Alith and his family were once the greatest supporters of Malekith, to the point of being willing to fight [[Morathi]] to help him retake Anlec. During this time Alith was betrothed to the daughter of another noble family, until they threw their lot in with Morathi and the Pleasure Cults (Alith later figured out that she'd never loved him... kinda obvious since the gestures of affection were one-sided). Alith first showed his cleverness and skill when he infiltrated the servants of the Phoenix King's court the guise of a yuppie from Chrace to petition him face-to-face on behalf of his family (though getting this close involved help from the head chef's daughter, who he had a thing with). After Bel-Shannar's death and the massacre at Asuryan's shrine, Alith headed back home to consolidate with his family, but none of them knew Malekith was the instigator of both and conspiring with Morathi. Things got worse as every pro-Phoenix King Elven citizen on Nargarythe became the first to suffer Malekith's violent cry fest.

At the Battle of Dark Fen, many Nargarythe people loyal to the Phoenix King stood against a host of Dark Elves. Although they were outnumbered, Eothlir - Alith Anar's father, was a [[Creed|tactical genius]], such that he outmaneuvered and killed as many Dark Elves as he could with his little forces. Yet they were merely stalling for time against their inevitable defeat, where Eothlir was torn to shreds by a Black Dragon and the loyal Elves were slaughtered with few survivors (Eoloran - Alith's grandfather and Eothlir's father - was captured and imprisoned in Anlec, with Morathi threatening to let daemons feast on the souls of other captives if he left his cell). After Alith Anar led what remained of the survivors back to their homes, they found their homes in ruins with many innocents dead; a sight that [[rage|upset]] them so to the point they started to [[rip and tear]] any Dark Elves they could find (though before this Alith [[Grimdark|considered suicide before remembering anger was more useful than despair]]). Alith Anar led his Shadow Warriors in many ambushes against Malekith's, and he was so effective at it that Caledor the Conqueror thanked Alith Anar in person after that one battle where they destroy many of the Dark Elves' reaper bolt thrower from behind.

After the Sundering turned Nargarythe into a Skaven vacation hot spot with Malekith, Morathi and the remaining Dark Elves fleeing to Naggarond, many surviving loyalist pleaded Alith Anar to become their king, and swore a blood oath that they would not rest until Malekith and his Dark Elves were dead.

== End Times ==
The End Times must've done his head in. Initially he did his anti Dark-Elf thing, but was really caught off guard by Caledor's leaders siding with them. In response, he declared Nagarythe was team Switzerland and sent away any messengers from Tyrion or Malekith (the latter by shooting them), limiting his forces to looking after High Elf refugees fleeing the war. Alith did make one major mistake, though; at the battle where Tyrion drew the Sword of Khaine, Alith crippled Malekith's dragon with a bowshot, which unintentionally gave Tyrion the opening he used to get the sword. To be fair Alith had no idea what was happening, and probably figured Malekith was trying to get the sword. His response to finding out Malekith became Phoenix King wasn't shown, but [[Rage|it's pretty easy to guess]]. Alith Anar tried to finish Malekith after Tyrion wounded him, but Teclis used his magic to shift the arrow so it hit Tyrion and knocked him back so the former could escape.

When Tyrion drew the Sword of Khaine, Alith noticed Tyrion was becoming less a noble hero and more like Malekith which made him doubt his neutrality, but Malekith was still on his kill list. During the final battle at the Vortex, Alith showed up again and, convinced that Tyrion was evil, killed the latter before he could strike down Malekith… which he promptly followed up by <s>tea-bagging the dying Malekith</s> shooting Malekith to make sure he was dead, which would've worked if not for Teclis making him the Incarnate of Shadow. Later, Alith came face-to-face with Malekith for the first time in millennia in Athel Loren. Alith told Malekith that since killing him is now off the table with Chaos wrecking the world, the pain from the arrowhead in Malekith's chest will be his new punishment for all he's done... adding that if Malekith goes back to being a tyrant, he'll be right back on Alith's kill list.

== Dark Elves trolling ==
Ever since the sundering, Alith Anar and his warriors have done nothing but fucking with Dark Elves, killing trespassers and being total loners among High Elves. One could say it is thanks to him that Dark Elves' are having trouble invading after the embarrassing atrocity that is the [[War of the Beard|war of the beard or whatever vengeance those hairy short footer like to call it]] which gravely weakened the High Elves military to the point every Elf had to join a militia group to make it up. What's important is how Alith Anar is so good at trolling the Dark Elves that it made Loec, the trickster god, watch the ever living shit out of his every actions. Here's a list of things every High Elves should learn from him:
* Repeatedly disguising their warriors as Dark Elves to terrorize their armies and already chaotic capital city without giving a shit about its assassins, witch elves, monsters and sorcerers.
* Disguise himself to infiltrate one of Malekith's orgy parties, where he danced with Morathi (without her recognizing him) and stole both the Stone of Midnight (Aenarion's wedding gift to Morathi) and the High Prince's crown of Nagarythe (that Malekith took with him and was later renamed the Shadow Crown).
* When he found out Malekith was the bad guy, he essentially spat in his face and used the crown's time-stop ability (more on that below) to escape.
* Tricked the Witch Elves pursuing him into killing themselves by mixing poison into their berserker potions.
* After the Battle of Griffon Pass, he captured seven hundred Dark Elves and had them nailed high upon the white cliffs overlooking the narrow valley, where they hung until they died, and then their corpses hung for years afterwards until their flesh rotted and their bones tumbled into piles beside the road.
* Make other Dark Elves so afraid of uttering his name that not even Malekith is safe from this.

== His broken wargear ==
* Stone of Midnight - The aforementioned jewel Aenarion gifted to Morathi, it cloaks its user in shadow.
* Shadow Crown - The aforementioned Nargarythe crown. [[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure|It allows the user to stop time by utter "NARGARYTHE"]] (albeit very temporarily).
* Moon Bow - The aforementioned bow gifted by Lileath that could act as a miniature bolt thrower. It is however debatable that Lileath actually came down to give it to Alith Anar or else it could have broken her father's law (in the novel Lileath gives Alith visions that enable him to locate the bow).

== [[Total War: WARHAMMER]] and Dylan Sprouse ==
He is featured in Total War: WARHAMMER as a FLC lord in the Queen and the Crone patch. He led the faction called Nagarythe and is an unique lord whose play style focus on killing Dark Elves and assassinating Dark Elves agents on the campaign map. His army also gets to ambush his enemies' and Dark Elves' army on attack and having accessed to a unique stance called "Shadow Realm" that lets his army bypass terrain and remain hidden. This makes him the most cunning High Elves EVER, so that he is sometimes mistaken for an Eshin Skaven lord, the fact his faction is suitable to settlement in wasteland climate reinforce this, YES-YES. In combat, his Moonbow has the power of bolt thrower and has a special attack that deals a lot of damage to anything it targets. He is also the first lord with the ability to create a clone decoy of himself. Yes. Alith Anar has master [[Clan Eshin|Nippon's shadow clone jutsu without ever going to Nippon]]. The said ability is hilarious useful to bait artillery fire and tarpit enemies cavalry but unable to deal any damage. It is however a shame that his crown doesn't actually stopped time.

What's really interesting is his VA, Dylan Sprouse, whom you Disney viewers known as Zack from [[what|The Suite Life of Zack & Cody]]. Dylan also expressed his love at Alith Anar for being his favorite High Elves and even once expressed a desire for playing the role of Felix in a potential Gotrek and Felix movie adaptation. Nuff said, Alith Anar's reputation just got a bit less edgy and grim, and is now the butt of that Disney show joke on the internet. As of Dylan's recent work in the vidya gaem known as [[weeaboo|Kingdom Hearts 3: remind]], Alith Anar is also this Japanese Yozora guy, some final fantasy main character lookalike.
