The High Elves, or the Asur as they call themselves, sometimes referred to as the High Elf Realms when referring to their ten kingdoms, are one of the most ancient and powerful mortal civilisations of the world of Mallus. Hailing from the mighty, mist-shrouded island-continent of Ulthuan located in the centre of the Great Ocean, this kindred of the Elves are a proud and mighty nation of masterful warriors, peerless mages and lords of the sky and sea.
The Asur are an ancient people with powerful armies and even grander magic, who have built a mighty civilisation of haughty grandeur and extraordinary beauty. Alongside the Dwarfs, the Elves of Ulthuan fought a long-forgotten war during the Great Catastrophe which saw some of the greatest and most powerful mortal heroes battle against the great darkness of Chaos that sought to consume the world many thousands of years ago. At the zenith of the High Elves' power in the years after that first victory over Chaos, the world was truly theirs for the taking.
