==The Legend== (Although different sources describe the origin and identity of the Elf Gods different ways, the version presented here combines the Elvish and Lizardmen versions into a version most matching up to High Elf lore.) ===Isha=== Technically speaking, the Everqueen begins with Isha. Isha and the rest of the Elf pantheon were (in previous editions, beings of Chaos which was retconned to creations of the [[Old Ones]], and now they are) the survivors of another world which was consumed by Chaos who fled to this world in its lifeless primordial state and created a race of Elf Neanderthals who would later be uplifted by the Old Ones ("All according to plan" whispered [[Lileath]]) into being Elves proper. Isha was a being of immense power, connected to the world, and was the spiritual embodiment the Life magic (Ferngully style) which flows through all natural living things (and refuses to work from the Chaos rules that all other forms of magic obey). After giving birth to [[Elfquest|an inferior race of short-lived Elves]], Isha felt the misery that comes with the fact that her second(+)born children were mortal, cursed with aging and dying (albeit at a very slow pace) while she remained as a Goddess over them. Isha wept at the fate of her youngest, and the tears became [[Soulstones]] which fell to [[Ulthuan]]. While the souls of the mortal Elves went to [[Morr|Morr's]] afterlife (or [[Ereth Khial|Ereth Khial's]],) the daughters of Isha descended from her firstborn daughter each return to her upon death. In their mortal lives, the souls of the aforementioned daughters are connected to Isha and the entirety of the souls of each daughter that has lived and died (plus the currently living host) accompany Isha herself to enter the body of the current eldest daughter, resulting in an almost super saiyan state of being that can equal a [[Chaos God]] and wield power on-par with [[Lord Kroak]]. ==="Elf Eve"=== Nothing much is known about the first Elves. We don't know how many there were, or if they came in multiple litters from Isha. What we do know is that the oldest of Isha's mortal daughters is the one who became tied to her mother. She was revered as a demigoddess by the rest of the mortal Elves, and became their supreme leader in all aspects of society, from spiritual to military (not that they had much to fight early on). Upon the ascension of her own daughter to the queenly role upon the Elf Eve's death and the realization that Eve II's connection wasn't only to Isha, but to Elf Eve as well the position became known thereafter as the "Everqueen". ===Astarielle=== Everything regarding the Everqueens prior to Astarielle, including their names and how many there were, save that Isha's oldest mortal daughter was the first and that she was succeeded by her own daughter, is lost to the current day High Elves. Astarielle was the reigning Everqueen during the collapse of the [[Warp Gates]], and although the bulk of the [[Daemon]] forces went for the [[Lizardmen]], Ulthuan was their secondary target. The countryside was ravaged, the small and inexperienced armies of the Elves doing little other than slow the Daemons down. During the invasion, a badass world explorer Elf named [[Aenarion]] became [[Asuryan|Asuryan's]] mortal avatar, and with his strength (both his own and that granted by Asuryan) he more or less made the [[Daemons of Chaos]] look like unarmed children as he tore through them and pushed them back into the [[Warp]] wherever he went. The nobles of the Elves (at least, the ones who were still alive) swore allegiance to Aenarion, and Astarielle summoned him to her court to hit dat... which is actually kinda creepy, because Asuryan was Isha's father, so technically Asuryan was proxy-fucking his granddaughter on a pile of smoking Daemon corpses (but if you're at all familiar with the Greek pantheon, gods have a tendency to do whoever (or whatever) the fuck they've got a boner for right now, damn the consequences). ''Then'' shit kinda started going downhill. Daemons of [[Khorne]] and [[Slaanesh]] (because [[Nurgle]] was mostly picking on the southwestern elves and the cavemen humans in the [[Old World]], and [[Tzeentch]] never really does jack shit in Fantasy) blitzed into the ancestral forest home of the elves, and burned/raped a fair amount of it down. Astarielle made a pact with the spirit of [[Warhammer Magic|Life Magic]], (Life Magic eats Chaos, and it was having a good ol' time unbeknownst to the Chaos Gods) to at some point in the future [[Wood Elves (Warhammer Fantasy)|send a group of Elves to serve nature forever as servants]]. In return, the Elves race in it's entirety was bound to the world (sadly making it difficult for them to reach Morr's afterlife, as Elf ghosts now are stuck adhering to gravity) and the ancient Treekin [[Durthu]] took Astarielle's children Yvraine and Morelion to safety from the burning forest. She then summoned Dryads (not the happy kind that hide in trees and get fucked by [[Beastmen|Satyrs]], these ones are spirits that possess plant bodies and turn them into [[Angry Marines]]). She then stood in the middle of the forest with her army and waited for the Daemons to come. Whatever happened isn't in the fluff, and is described as unable to be conveyed through mortal words (even that of Elves) and that none of the Daemons survived it. Aenarion heard the news that Avelorn had fallen and, thinking that there were no survivors, went into a rage of epic proportions and drew a cursed sword of [[Khaine]] to become a living Elven WAAAGH!, making him (canonically) the strongest Elf to have ever lived. He also made shit decisions like marrying a [[Morathi|chick who liked hanging out with Daemonettes]], telling [[Malekith|his son by her he'd be badass forever and be king like his old man]], building a new kingdom out of the ruins of the most tainted land in Ulthuan, and similar full retard moves. Eventually his old buddy [[Caledor the Dragontamer]], who had come up with an awesome plan to actually BEAT Chaos decades ago, got sick of waiting for Aenarion to get off his ass and decided to start shit himself. High Elves went all over the world and set up magical rocks called [[Waystones]] covered in runes and gems, which vary in size from a large mountain to the size of a paperweight. Those rocks drain magic (which Daemons use to make themselves real) into the center of Ulthuan. Aenarion finally showed up, [[Awesome|personally fought and killed 4 avatars of the Chaos Gods themselves, suffered a mortal wound and managed to cross a HUGE continent to put that cursed sword back before dying]] (to be fair; he was carried by his also-mortally wounded-dragon, who actually made the journey. But still awesome!) So after the smoke had cleared, the Elves decided there'd be two rulers of the race from now on: the Everqueen, who is the firstborn daughter of the last queen, and upon the death of the last queen and the passing of the Everqueen entity (now one soul stronger) into the princess she is crowned the new Everqueen. The second, the Phoenix King, is a male elf democratically elected from amongst the princes (AKA governors, not literally part of a royal family) of Ulthuan. After election, he's required to walk through a pyre in the Shrine of Asuryan. If he survives, he's buffed to badass levels and becomes king. So far nobody has died, although [[Malekith|one asshole has managed to burn himself to a crisp when he tried to declare himself king.]] The king's first job is to produce a new queen with the Everqueen (up until this point the Everqueen was produced by the previous Everqueen's own husband, who was simply the man she favored most), who will be her future heir. He's got a year to knock her up (which seems to always be how long it takes), after which the two return to their spouses or lovers as they will. ===Alarielle the Radiant=== Once again, there's a gap in fluff. This time it's not because it's a forgotten mystery, but because GW hasn't filled in the fluff. The modern day Everqueen is Alarielle, dubbed "the Radiant" for her inspiring presence upon battlefields. See, before her the Everqueens were expected to sit at home and send condolence letters to the families of those slain in battle and to pose for commemorative plates like a proper queen. Her role in society is to be the head elf hippy and just be a pinup who conducts fertility rituals and the like (which is really important since it keeps elf birth rates up), however due to her insistence at being present in battles where the fate of the world hangs in the balance the courts of Ulthuan are beginning to gossip that she might be masculine lesbian (despite this, everyone around her gets a hard on for good and figures GOD IS WITH US in her presence, so an already fearless race becomes literally fearless if they're around her). Alarielle's earliest mention is during the massive (recent) [[Dark Elves (Warhammer)|Druchii]] invasion of Ulthuan. Malekith sent his forces into Ulthuan, burning down a fairly large chunk of Avelorn and pursuing the fleeing Alarielle with both assassins and Daemons. As she was still young and unconfident, the loss of her home gave her a sad that sapped her powers. She was simply an Elven maiden fleeing both Seekers of Slaanesh and Cold One riding hitmen while on foot. After the hitmen caught up to her and were preparing to turn her into a Dark Elf Battle Standard Dolcette-style, Tyrion appeared and killed the assassins although suffering poisoned wounds in the process. She was forced to carry him away as the Daemons closed in. Right as a Slaaneshi warhost was about to do even worse things to them, [[Teclis]] appeared and incinerated them. They escaped to the gathered forces of the High Elves. Inspired by (her throbbing ladyboner for) Tyrion's bravery, she regained some of her power and restored his health. She granted the firstborn descendant of the worlds first horse, Malhandir, to him as well as giving him a magic pendant marking him as her Champion. She then gave Teclis a powerful magic staff, made by Lileath herself and granted to Elfkind. The heroes then saddled off to the Battle of Finuval Plains, leaving Alarielle to reenact the Gone With The Wind field hospital scene. At some point, before or after the battle, Alarielle and Tyrion shagged. She then began her one year with Finubar, and she became pregnant with her daughter. Alarielle would also participate in another battle against Morathi and a [[Warriors of Chaos|Slaaneshi warhost]] after a failed assassination attempt (Manchurian Candidate style) left her first comatose, then awakened the Everqueen entity in her for the first time. After gathering the noncombatants of Avelorn and suiting them up as Spearmen, she summoned the Dryads of the forest and faced the oncoming army alongside a force from Ellyrion. Although initially the battle was a stalemate, the Slaaneshi Champion saw her on the field and sought her out for the purpose of "desecration". Before he could attack her however, she took his hand and cleansed all of the Chaos taint from him in an instant. She fought a tug of war for his soul with [[Slaanesh]] himself before freeing the man'sso (using the guilt from sacrificing his own wife for attractiveness) and letting go of the "rope", causing Slaanesh to pour power into the soulless body of the Champion and make it into a (rather large) [[Chaos Spawn]] which was then cut down by her forces. This plunged the forces of the Chaos warband into disarray as Slaanesh's enraged tantrum fucked up their magic. The High Elves spent the rest of the day mopping up the remaining enemy forces until Teclis appeared and nuked the last holdouts. Alarielle also yearly makes a dangerous pilgrimage to the summit of one of the Annulli to protect the dreamscape of the mortal races from Slaanesh. Since her year with Finubar is up and she had a daughter during that time she's now toting around [[Tyrion]] like a puppy on a leash. (The end times revealed she and Finubar never did the deed <strike>as she was his daughter with the last Everqueen</strike>. This part is someone's fanfiction and should be removed, because End Times: Khaine book II, page 36, describes Alarielle as daughter of Bel-Hathor and Estrielle the Silver.) If she ever gets a voice actor, it should be Idina Menzel. ===Aliathra=== Although it was believed that she was the daughter of Finubar, Teclis found out (and revealed during the events of the [[End Times]]) that she was the daughter of Tyrion, conceived in love before Finubar's year. Although this didn't remove her legitimacy (at least in technicality, politically it may have caused some stirring) it meant she had inherited Aenarion's Curse; having a permanent lust for the [[Widowmaker]] and being destined for glory and (sometimes) misfortune. Aliathra was very popular with the [[Dwarfs (Warhammer Fantasy)|Dorfs]], and the High Elves used this to their advantage by making her the diplomatic representative for their race. Her continued presence in the Holds of the Dwarfs increased relations rapidly, bringing the two elder races closer than they have been since the [[War of the Beard]]. Unfortunately, [[Mannfred von Carstein]] saw her as both a way to resurrect his master and divide the two races. He first goaded a massive WAAAGH! of [[Orcs & Goblins|greenskins]] into attacking the Hold where she resided, then sent in his pawn [[Heinrich Kemmler]]. While the valiant Dwarf and Elf defenders fought side by side and handily defeated the greenskins, the animated bodies of both the enemy and their own fallen pulled them down. Mannfred dueled Aliathra's own paramour, a Prince on a Gryphon, before taking Aliathra captive. Although many Dwarfs and Elves blamed each other for the attack and results, Finubar and High King [[Thorgrim Grudgebearer]] managed to reign in the dissidents. Alarielle sensed through the Everqueen entity that Aliathra was still alive, and Tyrion was dispatched to retrieve her while Thorgrim assembled a massive force of Dwarfs. Thanks to M4, Tyrion reached Mannfred first. His Silver Helms battled through a massive Undead army to find Aliathra unconscious. He attempted to ride out with her only to face the largest Undead force ever assembled before him. His forced plunged in from one side while the newly-arrived Dwarf army (the largest assembled since the War of Vengeance) attacked from the rear. Both sides met in the middle, after Mannfred swooped in with his magic and once again took Aliathra. The Elves and Dwarfs screamed insults at each other, while Tyrion arrogantly stated that the Elves had no need of Dwarfs. Maintaining his composure, Thorgrim said that Aliathra's fate was in Tyrion's hands and took his massive force to retake long-lost Dwarf Holds. Teclis shamed Tyrion into once-again leading the High Elf forces, so he got his friends Eltharion and Eldyra to lead a High Elf army to rescue Aliathra. They arrived just before the ritual to revive Nagash started. The barely managed to fight their way through, with Eltharion reaching Aliathra just as Arkhan was about to sacrifice her. [[Grimdark|Arkhan turned Eltharion to dust with magic and killed Aliathra after she performed some mysterious spell on him]]. Tyrion was a broken spirit after her death, then it is revealed that Teclis allowed Aliathra to be sacrificed. With the revelations later that [[Asuryan]] was a dick who preferred Dark Elves and pitched a hissy fit when Malekith didn't become the eternal king of the Elves by fucking over the entire Elf race until he got his way, Tyrion went full-Aenarion and drew the [[Widowmaker]], causing him to become the mortal vessel of [[Khaine]] (after it was revealed that the Curse of Aenarion simply means you have a fragment of Khaine stuck in you). Morathi, thinking that was totally hot, forgot the feel of her son's cock and became his lover before completely losing what was left of her mind and believing she was truly with Aenarion again. After a short three-way mixed forces civil war, Ulthuan sunk with all Elf gods other than Isha and Lileath dead. Isha, who had become senile and unable to remember anything that had happened within this world, had come to reside fully within [[Ariel]]. Lileath poisoned Ariel, then lead Alarielle to her whereupon she absorbed Isha's spirit and kept Isha's mind and personality completely buried, then merged with the entire Life Wind of Magic to become a super-goddess. She then married Malekith. [[Derp]]. ===[[Nagash]](?)=== During the ritual to return Nagash to life, powerful beings (including the daughter of the [[Lady of the Lake]]) were sacrificed to bind his spirit to the body of [[Volkmar the Grim]]. Aliathra was among them, and through her he sought to inherit the powers of the Elven Gods and of Life magic. Although he sought to gain her strengths, Aliathra was not the Everchild, as Alarielle was still alive so the Everqueen entity still resided with her. Alaithra's title of Everchild was purely ceremonial, as she would have been the recipient of that bloodline, but it didn't pan out due to Alarielle still being alive. So all Nagash got from Aliathra was Aenarion's Curse ([[Just as Planned|All according to plan]] for Nagash's enemies, [[Not As Planned]] for Naggy himself). Arkhan and Mannfred really should have checked elven lore and the genealogies better; Neferata somehow knew all this and put the pieces together when Nagash returned, having a laugh at Mannfred's and Arkhan's expense before making her own plans. There was the theory that since Aliathra's soul merged with Nagash's, it was possible that he is now part of the Everqueen entity. It was thought that this helped explain how he has usurped control of the afterlife from Morr, which he had made part of Sylvania, although another explanation is that Morr and Usirian were the same god by different names and worshiped in different ways (the lore says that when Nagash consumed Usirian, Morr died at the same times). However, with the fusing of Isha, Ariel and Alarielle, along with Alarielle receiving the Wind of Life and the world being destroyed, the gestalt nature of the Everqueens was ended. This means that any connection Nagash had to the Everqueen lineage, if he ever had one, is gone. ===Isha/Ariel Alarielle Fusion Dance!=== As End Times progressed, [[Lileath]] poisoned [[Ariel]] (revealed to be Isha, though Lileath's actions took a toll on Ariel's mind) and brought Alarielle to merge with her and become ...still Alarielle, but more powerful. They became involved in the end of the Elf civil war, transporting all Wood Elves to Ulthuan to fight alongside Phoenix King Malekith (don't think about it too hard)'s armies against the fused Khaine/Tyrion (again, just accept this and move on). Orion died, Tyrion had a death and revival, Alarielle lead all Elves except those who were confused and hated this convoluted lore rape to Athel Loren through the roots of the World Tree as Ulthuan sank due to the unbinding of the Vortex. All Elves spent a few months hating each other as Teclis bound each Wind of Magic to a living being, Alarielle becoming the entire Wind of Life. These Incarnates attempted to save the world and failed due to Mannfred von Carstein backstabbing them all, literally in Balthazar's case, for no good reason other than Archaon needing to win (this wasn't [[Storm of Chaos]] after all).
