History
The High Elves were a race of elves that inhabited the World.
Overview
The majority of warriors in the armies of the Asur are citizen militia rather than professional soldiers, but are quicker, braver, and better trained than the average human soldier. This militia is a form of part-time army in which all take their turn to serve, every Elf providing his own wargear in defence of Ulthuan. When young elves first join the militia, they will begin as archers, fighting with longbows. This allows them to gain war experience from a relatively safe distance. After a decade or so, they will become spearman, fighting with a spear and shield. This is the senior arm of the militia, and are expected to fight bravely in the main line of battle. Spearmen wear light armour and shields and archers may have light armour. Spearmen train to get as many in the fight as possible without getting in each other's way. In game terms, this means they are able to get more ranks attacking than other races in the Warhammer world.

The Prince was responsible for personally selecting the High Elves that joined the ranks of the Shining Guard with these consisting of the best and bravest of warriors. They stood as examples of the highest honour that could be attained in the military for a High Elf in the militia.
