The Origin of the Elves
June 3rd, 2009 Faim The Origin of the Elves
Even
the Elves themselves are unsure of their exact origin, which was lost
in the dawn of time. What is known, however, is that they come from the
beautiful Isle of Ulthuan where they lived and prospered for centuries
in peace and harmony, learning the arts of the Old Ones. Blessed with
grace, beauty, strength, and intelligence, they lived for thousands of
years in a state of peace that many thought would never end.
When
the Old Ones’ Warp Gates collapsed, however, the forces of Chaos
arrived. Trapped on their island, the Elves fought bravely against the
hordes of daemons that came from beyond the stars, but they seemed
unstoppable. Many of the Elves, capable of deep and intense emotions,
began to study the way of the warrior, and were in charge of organizing
the island’s defenses against the assault. Among these was the greatest
and most tragic hero the Elves have ever known: Aenarion, who would
later become the first Phoenix King of the Elves.
The Winds of Magic – The Magic of Warhammer
May 20th, 2009 Faim “Ah, yes … the Winds of Magic. What
a laughable name – do you really think you can force something as
complex and powerful as the physical manifestation of Power into the
boundaries of your feeble mortal mind? Magic is the manifestation of
Light and Shadow, of Death and Life! You cannot possibly comprehend the
nature of Magic without accepting that all Magic, and subsequently
everything that exists, is a creation of pure, raw Chaos. I SHALL NOT
FORSAKE YOU, O GREAT CHANGER OF WAYS!”

- Heinrich Etzel, during his trial on counts of heresy and for plotting
to destroy the village of Bogenhafen. Convicted of heresy and burned at
the stake two hours later.
This week, our German Community Manager, Hadi Al-Begami, once again
dabbles in all things supernatural, focusing on what the men of the
Empire call Winds (or Lores) of Magic. If you want to find out more
about the works of the seemingly uncontrollable power that, in a way,
rules every aspect of existence in the Old World, read on – but be
warned, for many a man who has sought this knowledge died an awful
death in the pits of The Inevitable City.
