he High Elves have long stood sentinel against the fell forces of Chaos, battling the arch enemy at every turn.

Far away from the Old World, on the island continent of Ulthuan, the High Elves have learned of the existence of the Nemesis Crown. Finubar the Seafarer's ambassadors in the courts of the Empire have sent word back to the Phoenix King. Normally the High Elves remain aloof from the petty affairs of the lesser races, but an item as dreadful as the Nemesis Crown must not be allowed to be found. 

Aware of the carnage that would be unleashed should the crown be retrieved, and aware also of the factions vying to control it, Finubar has despatched several of Ulthuan's greatest champions into the fray, each leading an army of battle-hardened High Elf Warriors.

Teclis, one of the most travelled of Elves returns to the Old World once more. His orders are simple: to patrol the Sea of Claws and ruthlessly suppress Norse Raiders and Dark Elf invaders. Korhil, Captain of the White Lions is tasked with destroying Orc and Goblin warbands outside the bounds of the Great Forest. Caradryan is tasked with intercepting any of the Undead menace who attempt to gain access to the Great Forest.

The seers and mystics on Ulthuan cannot yet predict the outcome of this, a conflict they dub the Nemesis War, but all are in agreement that should an Orc don the crown it will be a dread time for the forces of Light. Already factions within the courts of Ulthuan have begun politicking, pushing for Ulthuan to support either the Dwarfs or the Empire more fully. Some argue that should the High Elves assist Karl Franz to gain the Crown, then it will pay dividends in the long term, making an unbreakable bond with the powerful Empire. Others claim that out of the two races, only the Dwarfs possess the wisdom to dispose of the crown safely, and helping them gain possession of it might go some way towards convincing the Dwarfs to return the Phoenix Crown. On one thing alone are the High Elves in agreement: it is their efforts that will determine who claims the Nemesis Crown.

Objective - The High Elves know that should Grimgor capture the crown, it will usher in a dread age for the forces of Light. Perhaps the aid of the High Elves might convince the powerful Empire to ally with them in the future, or the Dwarfs to return to them the long-lost Phoenix Crown. To this end, High Elf patrols scour the high seas, interdicting the forces of darkness as they converge upon the Old World. Every High Elf victory helps ensure that it is good, and not evil, that will recover the Nemesis Crown.
