			'''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.

	Caledor fought really hard, and chased a lot of Dark Elves back to Nagarythe itself. That's when Malekith pulled a 'Just as Planned' and started to mess with the Vortex in the middle of Ulthuan, which caused a lot of the Nagarythe to panic and rejoin the High Elves. What Malekith's wizards planned to do is tear a hole directly to the realm of Chaos, where the Daemons would for some reason not rape them and eat their souls and instead help them and salute Malekith as God Emperor of Elfkind (kids, don't do meth. You make decisions like this). What it really did is sink most of Nagarythe, and lots of the kingdom to the south Tiranoc. The world was rocked so hard, the Dwarfs felt it and decided to make a bone and cat leather mural of it.		Caledor fought really hard, and chased a lot of Dark Elves back to Nagarythe itself.

	Laughing, the majority of the Dark Elves load up in their ships made out of mountains (how does that work? A wizard did it; more like several wizards) and head West. Some Dark Elves remain, and continue to mess up the High Elves like the Viet Cong. Due to this, the High Elves stopped talking with their colonies in the new world due to having more important shit to do. Malekith suddenly got a boner for the Widowmaker (and he's had one ever since) and the High Elves skirmish with the Dark Elves on the high seas and on the island itself. Caledor has a series of unbreachable fortress gates erected in Ulthuan to ensure that it's a fucking BITCH to try to invade, each named after one of the possible mounts High Elves can be seen on (Griffon, Eagle, Phoenix, Dragon, and Unicorn).

	Caledor does some mopping up, pushing the last of the Dark Elves off Ulthuan, finally coming to the Blighted Island himself to give Malekith the middle finger. He stood in the Altar of Khaine for awhile staring at the Widowmaker, then went "Naaaaah". Apparently the sword's charms aren't so powerful, and Aenarion is just the kinda guy who goes for one pringle and eats the whole can. On the way back though, a freak storm hits and some punkass Dark Elf pirates ambush him and light his ship on fire. But instead of being captured, the magnificent bastard decides to jump into the ocean fully dressed in his armor. He dies, of course. But the Emo Elves didn't get him. The kingdom he came from, the name of which was forgotten, was renamed in his honor for such badassery.

	In [[Warhammer Fantasy]], the High Elves are the original [[elves]] and live on their Atlantis doughnut [[Ulthuan]] where they sang, built statues and temples, grew their hair, throw softcore orgies and rode monsters into the sunset and out of the sunrise again, all the things one would do in a perfect paradise made just for them.

	[[FAIL\|Then it all went to shit]].		[[FAIL\|Then it all went to shit]].

	The causes of this are threefold: Because the [[Old Ones]] didn't clean up after themselves, or lost a war against Chaos, or it's all according to plan, or whatever. [[Chaos]] flooded out like a pierced beer can into the world and were going to destroy it without a problem. The first Phoenix King, Aenarion, got his shit together and closed the gate thereby saving the world. Then a bunch of shit happened. Eventually his son Malekith got butthurt over not being picked the next king over some guy named Bel Shanaar and started the [[Dark Elves (Warhammer)\|Dark Elves]]. Because the Dark Elves are the Sith of Warhammer they pushed really far into Ulthuan, but then Caledor the first came and Cosgrove'd Malekith back to the northern reaches of the New World. (Which means Canadians are Cenobites.)

	Caledor the second pissed off the Dwarfs, doing his bit to ensure that they didn't go too long without being bullied, but then he got himself killed and left his fancy [[Hats\|hat]] behind, which is just bad play. Then Malekith came back and fucked shit up good so the High Elves elected Caradryel who realized that keeping colonies and making war on Dwarfs when you're about to be wiped out is stupid and ordered all non-Dark Elves to come home and defend the motherland, but the colonists who discovered pot and treefucking had better ideas and retreated into the woods, becoming Wood Elves. (Which means the Swiss are Ithorians.)

	UPDATE 5: The official new name for the High Elves in AOS are the [[Lumineth Realm Lords]], created in Hysh by the big man Teclis after screwing up with the Deepkin. Which is not to say this draft was a slam-dunk. In fact, pride and jealousy lead to a civil war that ended up letting chaos into Hysh. These days, they take a dim view of emotion. Never touch the stuff, instead using realmstone to bottle up their inner darkness. The Lumineth are a forward thinking-civilisation, so of course their long term strategy is "bottle it up and hope for the best".

	Elves all over suddenly saw someone with balls and promptly started cosplaying him, and because all elves look alike Daemons started taking psychology checks every time they saw pointy ears. Caledor the Dragontamer, who was like the first Teclis (but not anemic) swore fealty to Aenarion and gave him the death star plans to fucking over Chaos by making a black hole of magic somewhere so Daemons couldn't manifest in the world. He saved Astarielle, the Everqueen at the time, and they fell in love and wed. Soon everyone else asked to be on team Aenarion and gave him whatever shit they had that wasn't full of cockholes until the elves decided there'd be two rulers of their race from that point on, the elected king and the hereditary queen (one of the perks to being king is he bangs the Everqueen for a year until she gets a daughter to inherit the throne after her, but after that point they go back to their spouses and pretend it wasn't the best year of their life).

	However, Chaos attacked Avelorn where the Astarielle lived, and killed her in a way that is apparently beyond description, and the children of Aenarion and the Everqueen were lost. Aenarion was ''[[RAGE\|pissed]]''. So he went to a far off island and drew the sword from the stone. Except this sword was Widowmaker, a [[sword]] (or a [[spear]], or an [[axe]]) of Khaine. Khaine is kind of like Rule 63 Khorne but with a penis, and unlike in 40k where he's a giant robot the Eldar use to fuck shit up, he's pure douchebag unleaded and likes fucking with elves more than Daemons do. So Widowmaker, <strike>which apparently shapeshifts to whatever kind of weapon you'd like to use the most (Aenarion gets points for the damn thing not turning into a katana or something else stupid, and then promptly loses them for not turning it into a dragon-mounted demolisher cannon)</strike> curses you to a really bad end which follows your entire line.
