Editing Beastmaster (section)

==In Warhammer Fantasy==
The Dark Elves, ever since their days as regular elves in Nagarthye, have had a sadistic side for taming and using great beasts to their own end. Io and behold, being slavers allows you to travel all over the world and capture random creatures who may be useful.

When a Dark Elf child shows exceptional aptitude at taming animals [[Grimdark|(or when a Dark Elf mother wants to get rid of some dead weight)]], they are sent to the slaving capital of the Dark Elfs, [[Karond Kar]], in which beasts and men are treated the same.

From there the child is groomed (likely in all senses of the word knowing the Dark Elves), to be exceptional cruel and brutal to other living beings. Unlike humans, Elves have an innate psychic empathy in which they can feel what nearby creatures feel. Normally, this means Elves are extremely empathetic to the state of animals and compassionate to them. [[Grimdark|Dark Elves are not normal.]]

Instead, Dark Elves with exceptionally strong empathy use this intimate understanding of what causes the most pain to break all before them-both beast and man. Regardless of how strong, wise, clever or cunning they are, all are driven before the Beastmaster, or perish beneath their whip-and which is the perferred outcome for the Beastmaster [[slaanesh|ultimately likes very little difference, as pleasure and pain mix together in a bizarre cacophony of emotions.]]

If they become successful enough, they may be entrusted to lead an army, in which they become a High Beastmaster -aka a lord option.

Beastmasters worship [[Anath Raema]], Goddess of the Savage Hunt of the [[Warhammer_Fantasy_Gods#Cytharai|Cytharai]], above the rest of the Elven Pantheon. When the High Beastmasters of the Dark Elves go to war, they enact her will, and unleash her savage kin upon the enemy lines, breaking their will and enslaving more.
