“There can be no rest in the Eternal War, for the Dark Gods and their chosen servants will never rest until the world truly becomes a Realm of Chaos”
In the icy wastes north of Kislev dwell nomadic tribes of barbarians known throughout the Empire as the Northmen. Sometimes a powerful leader will arise among these savage humans, uniting the tribes into a great warhost that marches south toward Kislev and the Empire. At such times as this, the Northmen seek only bloodshed and conquest, for they are willing servants of the inscrutable Chaos gods.
The gods of Chaos are much more active in the lives of their worshippers than are the gods of other cultures. They reward their followers immediately when they are pleased, but are no less swift when demonstrating their displeasure with a devotee. A Chaos god can often show his favor by way of "marking" an individual with his symbol. This symbol bestows powers commensurate with the sphere of influence that the god controls. Further gifts and mutations are often bestowed if the god continues to be pleased with the works of his subject.
The most powerful and favored warriors among these human worshippers of Chaos are called Champions, and are exceptionally powerful in battle. Among them, strength is authority, and so these Champions are also the leaders among their people. Such creatures are so potent and so mutated they can scarcely be called human any longer. They tend to wield massive weapons that a normal man would struggle to lift, and are clad in Chaos Armor that is bound to their skin. These Champions of Chaos are among the most powerful and terrifying adversaries in all the world.
The Northmen that accompany their Champions into battle are called Marauders and often fight beside inhuman creatures such as the fearsome Beastmen. Sometimes they will even share the battlefield with creatures borne of pure Chaos energy: Daemons.
The Age of Reckoning is ushered in as a Warhost of the god Tzeentch, the Changer of Ways, marches on the Empire. Leading this terrifying army of evil is a powerful Champion named Tchar'zanek.

“We the Asur are a noble people, our long and proud history stretching back to a time when Men were still fur clad savages. Living in our fair isle of Ulthuan, set in the centre of the Great Ocean, we are far removed from the petty squabbles of the lesser races. Here we are able to practice magic and our arts, perfecting them for no reason other than the sheer joy of it.”
The High Elves are an ancient people with a history that spans millennia. While the ancestors of man were little more than cave-dwelling primitives, the Elves built magnificent cities of glittering silver and white marble on their island home of Ulthuan. Elven scholars and explorers were the first to chart the stars and sail the world's oceans. The Elves were also the first race to mount an organized defense against the invading hordes of Chaos, beginning a war that continues to the present day
Early in their struggles against the Ruinous Powers, the Elves discovered that negative emotions such as fear, rage, jealousy and greed serve to fuel and strengthen the power of Chaos. Since that time, the High Elves have struggled to keep their intense passions tightly under control. Though intelligent and enlightened, all Elves have the capacity for savage violence.. In order to suppress this dangerous and unpredictable aspect of their psyche, the lords of Ulthuan continually strive to eliminate all extremes of emotion; in High Elf society, to surrender to anger or lust is to show weakness. As a result, the High Elves live by a strict regimen of rules and codes and embrace a way of life that emphasizes harmony, balance and inner peace.
Magic is the lifeblood of the High Elves. With millennia to hone their skills, it is little wonder that the Mages of Ulthuan are among the most powerful practitioners of magic in the world. Their thoughtful, meticulous approach to the study of combat, coupled with their patience and mental discipline makes the High Elves deadly fighters, as well. On the battlefield, High Elf swordsmen are graceful, lithe, and lethal when they detect a weakness in their adversaries.
The High Elves will need all of their wisdom and skill if they are to survive the Age of Reckoning. When Finubar, Phoenix King and ruler of Ulthuan, gathers his finest warriors and sets sail for the Old World to aid the beleaguered Empire, he is unaware that he and his allies are pawns in an elaborate plot designed to leave Ulthuan vulnerable to an invasion. As Finubar's fleet of longships pass beyond the horizon, vast shadows fall across the island of Ulthuan. The skies are darkened by a great swarm of Black Arks laden with hateful Dark Elf warriors seeking to reclaim their ancestral home and destroy forever their despised cousins, the High Elves.

“我们Asur是高贵的种族，其悠远和骄傲的历史可以一直延伸到人类是穿着兽皮的野蛮人时代。我们居住在大海中心Ulthuan的一个仙岛上，远离了低等种族的喧哗。在这里我们可以施展我们的法术，让它们趋于完美，不为别的，仅仅是为了愉悦我们的身心。”
高精灵是一个拥有数千年历史的古老种族。然而人类的祖先还是穴居的原始人。精灵们在Ulthuan的岛屿上用闪闪发光的银子和大理石建起了一座座雄伟的城市。高精灵的学者和探险家是首批观测星相和在世界各大海洋航行的人。他们也是第一个组织防御混沌部落入侵的部落，他们和混沌部落的战争一直延续到今天。
早在高精灵对抗破坏势力的时候，他们就发现消极的情感如恐惧，愤怒，妒嫉和贪婪有助于增长混沌的力量。从那以后，高精灵们就开始努力严格控制他们的强烈情绪。尽管高精灵们聪慧，开放，但是他们内心仍然有野蛮的暴力。Ulthuan的贵族们仍在致力于消除感情的极端。在高精灵的社会中，屈服愤怒和诱惑是软弱的表现。所以，高精灵们都生活在严格的法则和规范之中，过着一种协调，平衡和内心平静的生活。
魔法是高精灵的血液，他们磨砺了这种技能数千年。难怪Ulthuan法师是最强大的施法者。他们对战术独特，细致的研究，加上耐心和对精神的自律使他们成为了致命的战士。在战场上，高精灵战士是优美，灵活，具有杀伤力的，他们能侦查到敌人的弱点。
如果高精灵想在决战世纪生存，他们需要发挥他们全部的智慧和技能。当Ulthuan的统治者凤凰王Finubar召集他最优秀的勇士，乘舰前往就世界援助被围困的旧世界时，他不知道他和他的盟友们已经陷入了一个精心编织的阴谋中。Ulthuan此时不堪一击了。Finubar的长船舰队刚在地平线远端消失，巨大的黑影就笼罩了Ulthuan。天空被成群的黑色方舟遮蔽。充满恨意的黯精灵武士将要夺回他们的故园，永远摧毁被他们轻蔑的同胞——高精灵。

Long ago, when Chaos was first unleashed upon the world, the Elven champion Aenarion drew the dread Sword of Khaine from its altar and used its terrible power to save his people from annihilation. When Aenarion died, his son Malekith was deemed unsuitable for the throne. Although he was a mighty warrior, a great sorcerer , a brilliant general and the rightful heir, many Elves opposed his coronation. They feared he was too focused on war, and potentially a de-stabilizing influence on the High Elf race. In retaliation, over many years Malekith engineered a terrible civil war that divided the race of Elves into two factions.
It was the High Elves who emerged victorious and drove the evil Dark Elves out from the ancestral home of their race. Under the leadership of Malekith the Witch King and his Sorceress mother Morathi, the Dark Elves sailed across the Great Western Ocean and founded for themselves a new kingdom in the northern reaches of the New World. This land they called Naggaroth, meaning 'land of chill'.
Unlike the High Elves, who continually seek to suppress their passions lest they be overcome by them, the Dark Elves willingly embrace their hedonistic nature. Dark Elf society emphasizes individualism, selfishness, and pride. They have little regard for one another and even less for the other races of the world, whom they see as potential slaves and subjects.
In battle, the ruthless warriors of Naggaorth blend Elven discipline with savagery and ferocity, for the patron deity of the Dark Elves is Kaela Mensha Khaine, the bloody-handed God and the Lord of Murder. Nowhere is this more evident than in the beautiful and deadly Witch Elves, who serve in the Temples of Khaine and revel in violence and bloodshed.
Since their expulsion from Ulthuan, the Dark Elves have desired nothing more than to return to Ulthuan and avenge their defeat, reclaiming the land they believe to be theirs by right. In the Age of Reckoning, Malekith learns of an impending Chaos invasion of the Empire and uses this knowledge to set in motion a chain of events that will leave the island home of the Elves defenseless against an invasion. At the Witch King's command, a great fleet of Black Arks – great floating islands laden with soldiers, monsters, and engines of war – sets sail across the sea to conquer the island kingdom of Ulthuan and fulfill the destiny denied the Druchii so long ago.

很久以前，当混沌第一次出现在这个世界世纪昂的时候，精灵战士爱纳里昂从卡恩的祭坛上抽出了恐怖的卡恩之剑，并借助它恐怖力量挽救了他的人民免于灭亡。爱纳里昂死后，许多精灵认为他的儿子玛雷基并不适合继承他的王位。虽然玛雷基是一名强大的武士，伟大的巫师，杰出的将军和正统继承人。但很多精灵反对他的加冕礼。他们害怕玛雷基一心沉迷于战争，会潜移默化的对高精灵族产生不利影响。为了复仇，玛雷基发动了一场可怕的精灵族内战。战争持续多年，精灵一族也因此而分裂为两支。
最终取得胜利的是高精灵。邪恶的黯精灵被赶出他们一族世代居住的家园。在巫王玛雷基和他的魔女母亲摩拉丝的率领下，黯精灵渡过西方大海，在新世界北端建立了他们的新王国。他们称这片土地为纳迦洛斯，意为“颤栗之地”。
黯精灵和高精灵不同。高精灵一直在努力克制内心的激情，唯恐自己被心中的火焰吞噬。黯精灵则肆意放纵自己的情欲。黯精灵社会强调个人主义，崇尚自私和骄傲。他们不重视别的黯精灵，更加蔑视世界上的其他种族。异族在他们眼中只是奴隶和货物。
在战斗中，冷酷的纳迦洛斯武士在精灵的纪律中糅合进狂野暴虐的性情。他们认为这才是他们的主神——垩拉·门沙·卡恩，血手神与杀戮之神所喜爱的。而其中最鲜明的代表就是美丽而且致命的巫灵。她们是卡恩神庙的祭司，终生纵情于暴力和血腥之中。
自从被驱逐出乌苏安以后，黯精灵最渴望的事情莫过于回到乌苏安，为他们的失败复仇，重新夺回他们坚信应该属于他们的遗产。在决战世纪，玛雷基得知混沌即将向帝国发动大规模入侵。于是他利用这一机会，制定了一系列计划，导致高精灵的岛国家园失去防御兵力，无法抵抗他的突袭。在巫王的命令下，一支大规模的黑色方舟舰队被组建起来。这些飘浮在空中的堡垒承载着士兵、怪兽和战争器械横过大洋，开始了对岛国乌苏安的征服。杜克要凭借这一役重新主掌久违的命运。
