I. Introduction This DEMONWORLD army book provdes you wth back ground nformaton about the Elves and their history, as wel as detaed descriptons of lvin armies and lvn magc. Ths enables you to field lf armes in your DEMONWORLD games We assume that you are familiar with the DEMONWORLD game rules Therefore, only rues that are new, or that appy to certan troop types n a different way than usual, are given We recommend using at least the DEMONWORLD Inter mediate Game rules f you wish to fully expot the materia presented in ths army book This s because pont vaues for units (see chapter 'Recruitment) aso take into account ther morae, and armes wth generally ower morale values would otherwise have an unntended advantage if you were to play wth an equal number of points per side Further nformaton about new DEMONWORLD armies and miniatures events, and up-todate news can be found on the Internet at www.demonworldgames.com.

INTRODUCTION

Once the mghtiest and most important realm in the known world, today Evn infuence is confined to a very lmited regon. Snce the end of the wars aganst the humans whch led to the creation of the Empre, the Elves have played a rather nsignifcant role in the world. Withdrawn deep into the forest of lconessa, for a long time they had ltte contact wth other races. Ony occasionaly dd the "forest devils, as human settlers cal them, come forth to destroy all traces of human intruson into ther holy forests. Ths stuation has changed due to the rads of the Empires former southern provnces nto the forests and the appear ance of the warords of han n the Elvin setted northern territory hese two factors and the smultaneous ncrease in populaton among the trbes of Thanarl (the young forest dweling Elves) has recenty necessitated the lves once agan taking a more actve part n word events Among the nobility of the mpre there s a growing interest in finding out more about the southern forests

he possibility of acquirng abundant natural resources, as well as reports by merchants from the southern provinces who have dealngs with men that have suc cessfuly penetrated the forests have led many nobles of the southern Empire to consder expeditons into the forests of conessa For the Thanans, the lves are simply people of the forest whom they fght as soon as ther shps and on the wooded coast. For the woodcutters and Marenga gather ers from the southern provinces, the lves are no more than dangerous natives who work counter to the econom c interests of shippng companes, drug dealers and woodcutters Only a few people suspect that the forests of nconessa contnue to concea at least a part of the might that once ruled the word

THE REALM OF THE ELVES

lconessa, as the realm of the Elves is caled les southwest of the Empire n a gant woodland regon. This forest s so ancent that some of the giant trees n its mdst are the size of small mountans Nobody can remember the time when these trees were mere sap ngs The forest has, due to centures of symbiotic nteracton wth the vng reemen, deveop a con scousness of ts own

The Norh

The northern border of conessa s formed by plains whch adjon the mperal provnces of Pandyom and Annakam. Human settlers contnually try to gain a foothold on these plans, but abandon them ust as quckly The harvests are poor, despte the rch soil; the cattle disappear at nght from the fieds and predators reguarly clam vctms. Occasonally the "forest devils will attack lone farmsteads and ki a the nhabtants. n the forest caed "Galdlor ("bright felds), which lies south of this plan, wanders the warrior fellowshp of Uncorn Riders, forever foowng the Uncorn herds. The Thanari clans of the north stay n the forest and ony rarey venture forth onto the plan.

he East To the northeast, lconessa borders an inhosp itabe mountain range. These mountains contain the ream of Zahra which is home to the race of Dwarves he Dwarves of  ahra and the lves of lconessa are uneasy neighbours. oth people avod one another, though sometmes blood is spilled he telea range, an extenson ofthe mountains of a hra  reaches far into lconessa. Here human slaves mine mthrl n the pits of Cunn which the Ilah Ri turn into weapons and works of art. In the telea range at the summit of a hgh mountain les the eyrie of the egasus Riders in the fortress ofthe ellor (grove of the clouds) . he rver Valnor forms th e southern border of conessa which adjoins ahra Lately merchants of the southern

provinces have used the Valnor to ntrude deep into conessa The route over the mountains is cosed to human intrusion because even though the Dwarves of Zahra trade with the southern provinces, they will not allow any caravan over the mountain passes 

he Coasts he rest of the border of lconessa is more o r less formed of wooded coastline which s easly reached from without he only exceptions are the steep cliffs on the coast of Far alla n, which s turned toward the Strait of Thain This easy acces s from the sea represents an ncreasing threat to the ream of the lves. n the south shps from the southern provinces contnue to land n the west and

 THE SECOND AGE The Secod Age is kow to the Elve s as the Age o The Great War After Sh  Karath created the demos out ofthe essece o his eteral deaths, h e sought a way to sed them to the earth so that they could begi their battle with the Elves. To accompli sh this they irst had to eave the state o oli vig i whic h they ad the ir master existed, sice olivig ad l ife could ever co exist i the same place. Where there was matter there could  ot be omatter. So ShKarath decided to give his creatios a corporeal vess el, ma de up o elemets that were closest to olivig H e ecased his demos i bodies o ice ad ire Thus these destructive powers separated life from the olie hidde withi them ad mad e it possibe for the demos to take physical form Herei also lies the explaatio for the iheret istabiity of the demos, who require strog spells i order to exist i the world Sh karath formed his first two sos ito the Ice Demo eribulos Da Hurrorco ad the Fire Demo KrakTha He made t hem the geerals o his war agaist the Eves a d set them together with their demo hordes ito the lads of the Elves. Th e Ice Demo bega  his acts of destructio i the orth, the Fire D emo i the south. Everywhere they wet, the creatures o olife destroyed all life. Thus the orther haf of the world was tured ito a wastelad covered i ice a d the oce ertile lads o the south were tured ito a edless desert of sad ad slag

agaist the demos ad t o ocus all the stregth o the Elves to that task The priestesses were supposed to call o the other Goddess or aid or her child re Th e Dyreas were ot to attempt to cotro ature itse, but istead to master all metal powers related to the spirits of Elves, aimals or eve demos Eve though some of them secretly sought to cotrol ature, most o them wet alog with the decisio The Valar R i also decided to use the s ecret of the meta to make weapos, which would make up or the greater physical abilities of the demos Thus th e frieds of the blade , the Ore a Vaar, were created Usig their ewly created weapos, these Elves dedicated themselves to the deece o their peope with great ethusiasm They were the irst to take u p the fight agaist the demos. t was some time beore the Eves were irst able to baish some of the demos from the earth by destroyig their material forms, but the rampage of the childre o Sh Karath was at least held i ch eck Durig this period of resistace, the oce peaceful Evi people became a atio o beigs, dedica ted oy to war, ad so they lost much of their atural iocece However, there were too may demos to mak e victory over thei r hordes possib le, especially sice the meagre birth rate amog the Elves cotributed to reducig their  umbers. So the oldest survivig oreaths begged the other Goddess or advice, ho pig to keep the Eves from beig destroyed Oe ight their request was heard ad the Goddess set them a dream. She showed the oreath Adralliaa the place where the cave above the earth was hidde ad grated h er a gim pse o a room that the Elves had bee uable to ope durig their leavetakig durig the First Age  this room there were our swords.

The peaceful Eves were o match for the demos. Wheever the demos foud Elvi settlemets they slaughtered al the ihabitats ad destroyed the lad ad all ife o it. The oy optio left to the Elves was light. Aer a ew years most of the s urvivors of the Age of lety met i order to decide what to do The priestesses wated to retur to the cave above the earth a d await the ed o the destructio They argued that o ife coul d ever be completely victorious because otherwise its ow existece, which was bor oy i cotrast to ie, would be destroyed However, the c ave above the earth co uld ot be oud, so this path was closed to them

 these swords there resided g reat power, because they represeted the prima powers of life i orm of the elemets o ire, ice, water ad air Adraiaa realized that Sh Karath had used two of these powers to give his chi dre a bodily form, ad that these weapos were the power eeded to reverse this process ad to baish th e demos for good

The Dyreas, the wizards o the Elvi people, proposed orcig the powers of ature to defed themseves a gaist the demos. The oreaths were shocked ad o course refused to cosider this optio. Other Elves were of the opiio that the demos sho uld be ought with their ow weapos These Elves had see so much death ad sufferig durig their fight that their hearts had h ardeed ad they had moved a step closer to the olife. However, the demos were strog ad powerul ad the Eves were ot i a positio to defeat them .

Thereore a troop of Ore a Vaar, accomp aied by mighty Dyreas ad oreaths, was set to retrieve these swords rom the cave above th e earth . Aer oe year ie of the oe hudred origia Elves retured  Their path had bee hard ad ull o dager, but they retured with the eemetal swords These ie Elves were celebrated by their brothers ad sisters ad great hoours were bestowed upo them .

There were log argumets ad for the first time the Elves refused to liste to the wisdom of the oreaths Fially they decided to form the Valar Ri, a coucil, which would make decisios or the people ad guide their destiy. The members o this coucil were to be elected by the ihabitats of each settlemet ad were called Athulai. Thus the High Co ucil of the Elves was created, ad it formed thereater the goverig body of the Elvi realm. The Vaar Ri, i which the priestesses had oly a small voice, decided to take up the ight

The oreaths ad the Dyreas bega usig t he power of the swords to create a mighty spel of baishmet desiged to drive the demos rom the surace of the earth forever ut as the spe took effect, it becam e clea r that the power maifested i the el emetal swords had to be put directly ito the hearts of their eemies i order to have a efect

Units  This chapter describes all troop types that are avalable to an army of lconessa Elvin commanders, heroes wizards and magical artefacts are described in chapters Characters and Artefacts respectively. We suggest that you have the relevant recruitment cards at hand when you study the following descriptions Special rules applying to particular troop types are printed here and, in shorter versions, on the recruitment cards In case of doubt the description given here, being more detailed, takes precedence

pike has, due to its special tip a 'battle facto 10 versus cavalry, 9 versus infanry instead of a battle factor 9 and . he longknife carried by some troops has due to its size, an effect between a hand- and an improvised weapon and thus has a 'bate factor   The values given on the recruitment cards also reflect the number and (in the case of melee) size of the models and are thus different rom the aforementioned values

INITIATIVE

 The images depicted in this book for the decoration of standards and shields of the Thanaril llah Ri and the Centaurs are available as decals in DEMONWORLD pack 32 We have also noted the article number of the DEMON  WORLD miniatures pack which you will need to repre sent a particular unit, commander wizard or engine of war. Futher information about new miniatures for Elves and other armies can be obtained from your dealer directly from Ra Partha Europe Ltd or on the nterne at wwwdemonwordgames.com.

ELVIN WEAPONS

Many of the units described herein possess weapons orged with particular care and skill or are at least in part made of special materials most often mithril These weapons thus have different battle factors or (n the case o missile weapons) ranges, than those described in the DEMONWORLD basic game. A Elvin longbow has a 'batle factor 14 hexes: 5' instead of a norma longbow 2 hexes:  Certain Elvin long bowmen have access to arows wth mithil ips which have a 'batte factor 14 exes 6 An Evn bow has a 'batte factor 0 hexes: 4 instead of a noma bows '9 hexes  A mitri double-anded swod has a 'batte factor 10 instead of battle factor ; a mitrl sword has a 'batte factor 7 instead of a battle factor  A mithril lance has a 'batte facto 8 instead of a battle factor  A mitrl

Many Elves possess weapon skills and all of them have an initiative of at east 3  Therefore several neighbouring elements of Elves wil often strike first in melee and will score a result that will be at least  below the necessary base number. his is dealt with as described in the rulebook on page 69 for ALL attacking elements it has to be announced before roling the dice against which opponent the melee attack is directed An element that gains a second attack rolls for this attack MMEDATELY, before the next element rolls its dice  This is also true if afer the second attack a neighbouring element suddeny is no longer facing its announced/ previously chosen opponent (and thus is unable to fight hand to hand in this phase) Even such an element is not allowed to roll its die at nothing and then (with an appropriate result) move one hex so as to meet a new opponent A very low number in a melee repesents a successful breakthrough that surprises friend and foe alike Therefore it is not allowed that neighbourng ele ments come to agreements, or that they simply wait in order to see what the neighbouring elements accomplish before announcing their own melee attack

CLANTROOPS OF THE THANARIL

 The Elvin clans were founded after the exodus to the forests of lconessa by the followers of the Elvin priestess es and lords who, under the direction of the Loreath anariel wanted to return to the lifestyle of the Second Age Due to the constant threat posed by encroaching armed bands of humans in the early years, it became necessary for the clans to integrate a strong warlike element into their lives. hey caled themselves the
