Editing High Elf Army List (section)

===Special===
* '''White Lions of Chrace:''' A long time ago, when Caledor the 1st was first told by telegram that he won the popular vote and the recount was expected to come in his favor, he was in the middle of a hunt. He immediately set out for the Temple of Asuryan to walk into the magic fire and be crowned King. Suddenly, a Dark Elf street gang showed up and since Caledor didn't know the right gang signs to flash, they moved in for the kill. Apparently the Chracians, who are like the elf version of hill folk, don't like Darkies in their neck of the woods because they moved in with woodcutting axes and skullfucked the assassins. They followed Caledor all the way back to the pyramid to be crowned, and Caledor immediately established them as an order of High Elf bodyguards. So now that the hillfolk were crowned CIA operatives and given a license to kill, they wandered around the kingdom protecting anyone rich and pale enough to warrant armed escort. Many of the White Lions are descendants of those original woodcutting elves who are still carrying around their logging tools as magical weapons that never need sharpening. Others are just Spearelves who have gotten enough XP to advance, and chose "White Lion" prestige class instead of going into the "Lothern Seaguard" multiclass. Either way, the trial of becoming one of their order is to travel to Chrace and kill a white lion, who's pelt they'll continue to wear for the rest of their lives. That may seem cruel, but apparently white lions aren't an endangered species. To the contrary, they breed far faster than elves do and when there's enough of them they raid villages (even animals think they can fuck with High Elves), so it's an actual legitimate concern to keep their numbers down. The white lions pelts they wear grant them a good resistance to shooting damage, and look snazzy. White Lions don't really have a set pecking order, instead they kind of wander Ulthuan killing monsters and bolstering any local armies that they find need some balls to go with their spears. As such, like that sexy beast Korhil, the White Lions can be found in a fluff-friendly way among any kingdom's armies (which is great, because they're a nice addition to all non-full cavalry High Elf lists). Usually they don the livery of whoever they're currently protecting (so if they were protecting the Everqueen green with red hearts or if following Finubar then white with red dragons coming out of blue water). Otherwise, they stick with red and white themes.

* '''Lion Chariot of Chrace:''' Sometimes White Lions of Chrace find cubs who's mother they killed. Instead of letting them go back to the wilderness, they spay/neuter them and hitch them up to chariots. Not much to say other than that, except that they can be found anywhere White Lions of Chrace go and that you DON'T want one of these on top of you due to obvious reasons. Namely, two lions bigger than a horse and two guys with axes longer than you.

* '''Swordmasters of Hoeth:''' Trained for hundreds of years, memorizing thousands of different combat routines and maneuvers, being sent against monsters born straight from Chaos itself. Wielding giant blades, balanced to everything from their height, shoe size, genital size (isn't that the same?), finger lengths, hair length, eyelash weight, and so forth so that they are able to swing something that weighs hundreds of pounds like it's as light as a twig, the force going straight into the swing. Not even the priests of Vaul make greatswords as fine as those forged beneath the Tower of Hoeth. Oh yeah, they can also deflect arrows so if you want to field jedi knights, you field Swordmasters of Hoeth. Swordmasters have three main jobs. The first, guard the Tower of Hoeth and continue to train and be badasses. Job number two is escorting Mages and Sapherian nobles as bodyguards. Final job: CIA/FBI. They maintain the intelligence offices of the High Elves in the Tower of Hoeth, and root out Dark Elf spies, the Cult of Pleasure, and anyone else that can be considered a terrorist in the eyes of the Phoenix King. Whenever the Phoenix King sends his forces, in defense of a kingdom or to attack a foe, the Swordmasters of Hoeth send detachments along to collect intelligence on the foe and the battle for Hoeth to further refine their documentation of military strategies, and of course to let off some pent up steam by obliterating 100+ hordes of Clanrats in two turns.

* '''Shadow Warriors:''' While the civil war of the High Elves/Dark Elves was brutal, the Nagarythe who stayed loyal to the Asur suffered the most. Forced out of cities, with entire lineages destroyed or turned traitor, the survivors resorted to hit and run tactics to continue the fight. They swore oaths to their gods that the traitors would be wiped out to the last, oaths that certain gods (okay, mostly just Khaine) hold them to. It's possible that the first Dark Elves might have destroyed the High Elves had any Dark Elf force not at least a hundred strong or more that left the safety of a city been slain before the first fork in the road, their bodies hung (sans internal organs and eyes, with their genitals sewn into their mouths and lives snakes sealed in their bellies) from the trees outside the cities they sallied out from. When Dark Elves invade Ulthuan, they are never not being picked off by Shadow Warriors from all sides including above and below. When there are no Dark Elves on Ulthuan to fight, the land of Naggaroth becomes even more dangerous as huge bands of impossible to find killers poison water supplies, kill livestock and mounts, destroy fields of food, and assassinate important figures. Also steal babies to raise as their own, they do that shit too. Shadow Warriors aren't forces you give orders to, you can send a request for assistance from Nagarythe and receive nothing but after the battle find more dead enemies with black arrows that twisted through the body of the corpse than those fired by your Archers of Sisters of Avelorn.

* '''Phoenix Guard:''' In the Chamber of Days is the name of every elf who will ever become a Phoenix Guard. Underneath the name is the events that lead up to their decision to become one, and after that is everything they'll do, and finally when and where and how they'll die, then a little blurb about what'll happen to their soul. If the entry says "assraped and soul eaten by a Keeper of Secrets while waiting for reinforcements" they grimly come to grips with this and fulfill their duty with absolutely no fear, just dedication to Asuryan and loyalty to their race through him. Every Phoenix Guard memorizes this wall of text about themselves. As for what usually leads an elf to become one...having a sad. Girlfriend break up with you? Join the Phoenix Guard. Mom die? Join the Phoenix Guard.*SPOILER ALERT FOR SONS OF ELLYRION/DEFENDERS OF ULTHUAN* Attempt to betray your brother, marry his fiance, find out he's alive and batshit insane almost causing the deaths of Teclis and the Everqueen against his will via Dark Elf mindfucking, confront him and have him shrug and go "you ain't worth it", rekindle a friendship with him, watch your wife fall for him all over again, survive an almost apocalyptic battle only to hear they sacrificed themselves into a fate worse than death because they knew at least they'd always be together? Caradryan shows up at your door holding your armor already fitted for you . They fight with magic granted directly by Asuryan, magic that burns enemies who dare touch them and absorbs the blow from anything all the way up to the force of rushing liquid Slaanesh's biggest orgasm itself. Phoenix Guard aren't a force you ask for, they simply show up. When they do you know you're in for a fucking assreaming, and just because they show up doesn't mean you'll win either. Could be that they're there to buy time for the force that will REALLY beat the enemy to assemble. Or they just showed up to discourage someone from attacking you, because the reputation of the Phoenix Guard is WORLD RENOWNED. Seriously, it's the PGs and the Archmages and the Sisters of Avelorn that the world thinks about then they think of High Elves as a military force. Only three beings can give orders to the Phoenix Guard, and in order of rank from highest to lowest: Asuryan, the Captain of the Phoenix Guard, and the motherfucking Phoenix King himself. Asuryan himself takes their fear from them, and in combat resolution if they break ranks it is because they were instructed by an entry under their name in the Chamber of Days that they were to do so and they were just waiting for when to do it. When a Phoenix King dies, the Phoenix Guard of the world are present at the battle to whisk his body away for preparation for his funeral. It's worth noting that the Sons of Ellyrion/Defenders of Ulthuan novels have Caradryan and the Phoenix Guard showing up to a massive battle between Finubar and the combined forces of eastern Ulthuan against Malekith and most of the Dark Elf race where he grimly salutes Finubar. After the battle ends without Finubar dying, Caradryan has a massive fucking smile on his face and when asked by Tyrion what the fuck is so damn funny Caradryan gestures to a giant statue of Finubar that was destroyed by Malekith during the fight. The Phoenix Guard then depart. So yeah...is the Chamber of Days that vague? Does Asuryan intentionally mislead the Phoenix Guard sometimes? Did Caradryan use an excuse of misinterpretation to march and turn the tide of the battle more in the High Elves favor than before, possibly even saving Finubar? Who the fuck knows except Caradryan and Asuryan. Either way, the Phoenix Guard are fucking badasses.

* '''Dragon Princes of Caledor:''' In the Golden Age and during Aenarion's reign, the Dragon Princes of Caledor were all linked by the bloodline of Caledor and rode dragons like Ellyrians rode horses. But then the magic of the world had to be contained and dragons slept for long periods of time, and Caledor II died without an heir. So now they ride horses, burying their shame at the idea of what their ancestors would think of them beneath 300% pure concentrated dickishness. As far as a Caledorian is concerned, an elf of another kingdom may as well be a human or an orc. The Phoenix King might rank as high as a private, and the Everqueen is pretty to look at (<strike>about as pretty as a Caledorian cousin AKA fiance</strike> *SLASH* '''SECOND COUSINS DON'T COUNT YOU UNDEVELOPED SCUM!''') but her words have no meaning in Caledor. Only a Caledorian may give an order to a Caledorian, all else is a suggestion that will be considered. Dragon Princes never salute a non-Caledorian, they never offer compliment unless an insult is attached to it, and any supposed "ally" that gets in the way of a unit of Dragon Princes and the most dangerous and therefor worthy challenge on the battlefield is just part of the scenery. Despite all this, they really ARE good at what they do. The common Dragon Prince has armor the likes of which a Lord level Prince of another kingdom would bring to battle, their martial prowess and training is on par with that of a Swordmaster, and while they are the absolutely most unlikeable assnozzles off the battlefield, during a fight they would jump in front of a lowly Spearman from the poorest elven village to save their life. So yeah. High Elven Bretonnians.

* '''Lothern Skycytter:''' Since Lothern forces are the "elf marines" they needed a chariot that can fight on both land and water, so at some unknown point in the fluff they used magical boat-shaped chariot wagons and make a roc (not a Giant Eagle, although there's absolutely no creativity on GW's part in the model to distinguish the two) pull one in the air. Lothern Sea Helms ride them to shout orders to the army, but aside from ignoring dangerous terrain there's absolutely no bonus to doing this so it's a purely fluffy choice to do. Otherwise, it's a standard chariot which goes in small skirmishing groups on patrols around the shores of Ulthuan, or supporting the ground forces in beach landings (or wherever it's needed really). It can also be outfitted with a small Bolt Thrower, with is awesome. It's not specified in the fluff if the Asur have begun to use them for paratroop deployments, but now that I've mentioned it you are currently envisioning a scenario game where you get to do this D-Day style. Make it happen, you know you want to. It's worth noting the Warhammer 40k model Dark Eldar Raider can be converted and stuck on a chariot base as a nifty looking Skycutter (since the Roc gets an attack, you may want to stick something on it to represent that).

* '''Tiranoc Chariot:''' Tiranoc Chariots embody the spirit of High Elves from a bygone age. Using ancient and deeply magical works of art made from trees now extinct or else found only in the forests of Avelorn, the riders form into ranks wheel to wheel that stretch as far as the eye can see while sending an endless rain of arrows into the forces of darkness, and instead of crashing into an enemy they ride around them, reforming flawlessly as soon as they are through the enemy lines (which are now considerably smaller, having been lanced clean through for the most part), then turn as one body without a single overturned carriage, and do so again. All the while crews sing battle songs that literally paint a picture of the glory days of the elves through the magic of the land and that found within the spirits of the elves. while the Chracian chariots bring ferocity, the Dragon Princes bring pride, and the Lothern Skycutters bring superior strategy and range, the elves of Tiranoc bring something far different to the battle: art, beauty, and hope.
