==Relations== '''Elves''' * Asrai: High Elves and Wood Elves tend not to interact much, especially considering the fact that the Wood Elves never leave their forest and the High Elves tend to hate leaving their homeland. There are, however, cases of the two interacting which usually lead to the High Elves being made uncomfortable at the Wood Elves's hedonism and the Wood Elves being put off by the High Elves' prudishness, but the two races of elves do get along much better than the High Elves and the Dark Elves, though that is not a high bar to clear. Funny enough, their criticisms of each-other are basically word-for-word copies of /tg/'s general criticisms of each (Wood Elves being selfish tree-hugging jerks, and High Elves being unbearable know-it-all pricks). * Druchii: High Elves and Druchii absolutely hate each other with a burning passion that makes the hatred Khorne and Slaanesh feel for each other seem mild in comparison. The Druchii and the Asur have ''always'' been at war, and have never once had anything close to an alliance (barring the End Times, but let's forget that happened.) Druchii constantly raid and pillage the outer walls of Ulthuan, usually losing thousands of soldiers on the great walls of Ulthuan, but they always come again. Consistent writing? The fuck is that?! ** This extends to the Total War games such that, even if a player manages to get highly positive diplomatic relations between High and Dark Elves, the characters in the diplomacy screens will still talk to each-other in the most hostile and insulting tones possible. '''Humans''' * The Empire: Initially, interaction between two nations was almost non-existent, with only some trade, probably. Things got a little better after the [[Great War Against Chaos]], when Asur finally recognized Men as a somewhat equal race and even showed them the secrets of Magic. Since then, they are allies against the Chaos and neutral nations otherwise. * Bretonnia: Similar to the Empire, though interactions between these two are less prominent than with the Empire, mostly because Bretonnian Lords make the Asur look like humble slaves by comparison. * Other human nations: Their relations can be mostly summed up to one word: trade. Asur trade with [[Cathay]] and [[Kingdoms of Ind|Ind]], they can sometimes be seen in [[Tilea]] and [[Marienburg]]. Hell, some brave Elves even sail to Erengrad and trade with [[Kislev]]. '''Dwarves''': Before the War of the Beard these guys used to be tight allies, but due to Malekith's scheming, the Phoenix King's incompetence at the time and the Dwarf's need for vengeance, their alliance shattered into a massive war. Since then, the races are mostly just bitter towards each other. They aren't outwardly hostile but they very much just prefer to avoid each other. They do sometimes begrudgingly work together, and due to the High King's more liberal attitude towards forgiveness and the Elves being more invested in the other races, their relations have ''slightly'' improved, but don't expect them to bro hug anytime soon. '''Lizardmen''': These Order-aligned races have a very complicated relationship, as their mistrust is fueled by racism from both sides and the unwillingness to deepen their cooperation. There are much worse enemies from all sides, however, which is why they are mostly seen as allies... for a while. Have had a few notable historical team-ups, and it helps that they hate the same folks (Dark Elves and Chaos namely). '''Chaos''': obviously, Asur do not ally with any of the Chaos races and regard all of them as their enemies. * Warriors of Chaos * Norsca: The great Chaos Vikings know Ulthuan as Alfheim, and sometimes raid it, but not as much as the [[Old World]] because they know how cruel and vengeful the Elves are when torturing their enemies, not to mention the difference of their competency in battle compared to the human Southlanders. Their greatest invasion was during the [[Great War Against Chaos]], where they were used as pawns by Druchii. In recent years, a Norscan fleet led by Erik Redaxe attempted to raid Ulthuan, but was defeated by Tyrion's fleet. Since then, High Elves have grown increasingly better at beating down Norscans, earning their fear. * Beastmen: There are no Beastmen on Ulthuan, thanks to its magic. This of course, doesn't mean that they can't attack colonies such as the Gates of Calith, whose southern part sits in the [[Chaos Wastes|Southern Chaos Wastes]]. Of note is also [[Malekith|Malekith's]] (when he still was a good lad) and Snorri's war against Beastmen. '''Skaven''': Of course, like everyone else, they hate each other. '''Un'''like everyone else, Asur don't interact with Skaven that much. The reason why is because Ulthuan as an island is powered by magic, and giant rats can't dig their tunnels there. They're still a pain in the ass for Elven colonists, especially in the Gates of Calith. '''Greenskins''': Other than viewing them as barbaric savages, they hold a special place in [[Eltharion|Eltharion's]] mind for the destruction of Tor Yvresse. Eltharion, in all his rage, waged his own flavor of WAAAGH against the Greenskins of the Old World, and oh boy is he competent. Eltharion is so successful that he made the Orcs believe that Elves give a propah fight and made Goblins fear them. '''Undead''' in general very rarely interact with Azur (before [[End Times]] that is). Both [[Vampire Counts]] and [[Tomb Kings]] operate mostly in places where Elves doesn't have any influence now ([[The Empire (Warhammer Fantasy)|The Empire]], [[Nehekhara]] etc). Still it's pretty obvious that they are enemies. '''Ogres''' are the same thing, although it can be inferred at least some of these brutes served as Elven mercenaries.
