I plan on playing on a roleplaying server on release, as a Dwarf. This presents me with a problem in regards to High Elf players. Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't High Elves barely tolerated in Dwarfish society? I don't think my character would group with em, considering the past history and how long Dwarfs hold grudges for :D

Anyone else considered how they handle the High Elf problem for Dwarf characters?

The setting of WAR puts the alliance in a bit of hurt.. greenskins are overrunning the dwarf lands, chaos is infringing upon the Empire, and the Dark Elves are massing an attack against the High Elves.

The alliance is coming together because of necessity. Dwarfs, while they do hold grudges and hate elves, understand necessity. The average Dwarf (not counting slayers) is willing to tolerate the presence of elves if it means survival.

As far as RPing a Dwarf, I'd probably never talk to elven players. If one tries to talk to you do something as such:

"Dwarf looks at the elf blocking his way. Ignoring the inane babble coming from its mouth Dwarf spits upon the ground and forcefully pushes his way by."

As far as grouping goes I'd probably group with an elf (the necessity issue) but never speak to it. If you must, speak to a human that will then speak to the elf. Make it very obvious that you're only tolerating the inferior race.

I can see how you could have a lot of good roleplay pop up just because of your character's nature. I'd have fun with this, not let it limit you.

I was going to ask facetiously if the "High Elf problem" was that they were all still alive, but apparently it is! Hell, High Elves are the reason I'll be rolling Chaos or Dark Elf ;)

Somehow I feel that when the day comes to defend Lothern against the hordes of Chaos, Dark Elves and Orcs who besiege it, the Dwarves will have found an excuse to be elsewhere ;)

I agree with Dagaron - make your character more along the lines of grudgingly accepting High Elves as an ally. Just because you can't kill them doesn't mean you have to be friendly towards them (in an RP sense, anyway, I wouldn't suggest kill-stealing them or spamming them with tells or anything :p).

Also, I'd imagine there will be a bit of the Dwarf-High Elf animosity in-game (http://www.warhammeronline.com/english/behindTheScenes/developmentDiaries/ProductionDiary_JoshDrescher.php):We just roughed in an early version of Karaz-a-Karak – the Dwarf capital city – and it’s ENORMOUS. Even zipping around with Magical Developer Powers, it takes a fair bit of time to see it all – and you’re going to want to see it all. (Cruel teaser: Just wait until you see where the stunties have visiting High Elves camping out.)

I'll refer to this as a Dwarf problem instead of a High Elf one because I doubt I'll play a dwarf. Personally I'd group with dwarfs if only for the reason of making fun about their height. It's become a mutual thing in one of the RP's I'm currently writting in (North and South Again) and it's one of the funnest things to do. I call it dwarf baiting.

From an RP standpoint, I've always found razor-sharp wit works in place of razor-sharp blades. Luckily I've never partied with a warhammer elf, so it's been easy for me, but in my D&D/Warcraft experiances, wit is needed to stave off party in-fighting.

You'll find the comic animosity between the two races is pure gold, even amongst so-called friends such as Gimli and Legolas.

Now, specialically High Elves, they are certainly more pompous and self-important than their less arrogant Wood Elf bretheren. Imagine Legolas to be the archetypal Wood Elf, and Elrond to be your typical High Elf. It's not hard to see why any self-respecing dwarf would dislike them.

Now, add to this, the fact that there has been a fued between the two races for hundreds of years, although it's unclear who started it, and over what. All that is clear is that each side sent over a messenger of "peace", resulting in one beardless dwarven messenger, and one headless high elf messenger, if I remember correctly.

So, what to do? Treat the longears with complete disregard, disrespect and occasionally, when called-for, dismemberment!

"Are ye sure that was an elf? He doesn't remind me of any of the ones I've seen before. Fer one he's a lot more vertical, fer two he's a lot more vocal, and fer three, he's a lot less dead."

Except that the Druchii would let the greenskins wittle away at the inhabitants of Ulthuan until those pathetic excuses for Elfkind were at their knees, and the Greenskins thinned. Then they'd fight the beaten foes, enslaving those who through cowardice survived and using them to fuel their furnaces of war. Meanwhile Malekith, the true phoenix king, would take the sword of Khaine and the Druchii would be unstoppable...ah, what a wonderful fate.


Feel free to sit back and harbor your ill will towards the Asur, and we might even let you live as slaves for our amusement once we retake the Phoenix Crown.

In War, indeed, yes they are. Now all we need is for the Dwarfs to ignore Ulthuan and Chaos to take the Empire. Then the Old World and Ulthuan will succumb to the Druchii wrath.

Wood elves hate almost all things that aren't woody to some degree, and will pretty much shoot anybody who sticks their dirty little toes into the forests.

Beastmen and the Wood Elves constantly fight due to the fact that they share (grudgingly) the same forests and are trying to drive eachother from their only home.

Aside from the beastmen, they hate dwaves a good deal, because dwaves cut down trees for their furnaces and such.

Also, the Bretonians have many quests which take them into the forest for many reasons so they come in third in the current wood elf hate-list.

Markio, my friend, I'm not going anywhere near their stinking elf capital. Burn it to hell.
I'll raise my flagon of ale in hope that you rip every single high elf's ears off and ram them down their bloody necks.

Be warned though, the dark elves are the only elves the dwarfs are allowed to kill in WaR... so our anger against the Asur will call for occasional venting...

But at the moment the high elfs are the biggest problem, kill them, kill them all and keep them killed.

Wood Elves hate Dwarves for being tree-killers. A long time ago, the dwarfs sent a big lumber expedition into the forest of Lothern and they got massacred by Wood Elves. The dwarfs got pissed off, sent in an army, and the army never made it back (got butchered by Wood Elves and their forest beasties). It's one of the big outstanding Grudges in the Big Book.

You fight your mindless wars. But you are all unaware of the real threat.... my threat. For you will eventualy destroy eachother. Even if the Dark Elves succeed... the Orcs rampage through Dwarven lands. They will not be save for long.. the Empire has been weakened by our plague, we will defeat it under any circumstance.

Your reward for aiding us, by preventing your arch-enemies to fight us? Eternal life, as a slave of the Dark Gods. Maybe we lose the Age of Reckoning. Maybe not. But Chaos will take the world certainly, for we are close to the Eye of Terror and it shalt not be long for we get aided by our brethen in space. Followers of the same ideal.
Destroyers of millions.. singlehandily.

You have lost, just give up. Chaos makes up your very existence, just ease your suffering by joining our cause.

Surely, it's more traditional to wipe them off your boot and/or axe-head!

Aye getting all that elf blood n' guts on your maps would be a pain. Best to wipe them off your axes, and remove their brains from your hammers.

The elf king was arrogant even by elf standards, the pointy ears deserve to be mashed into a mangled mess for their actions against us.

Caledor II got what was coming to him...

I mean seriously, High Elves or Dark Elves dressed as High Elves attack Dwarf caravans. A Dwarf messenger is sent to Ulthuan to demand repayment for the attacks and what does Caledor do? Shaves his frickin' beard off. What an . He doesn't even deny that it was High Elves who attacked the Dwarfs.

I think you'll find Wood Elves are more likely . I mean, have you ever seen a High Elf do anything by frown and look all serious and arrogant? The Wood Elves are far more jovial and light-hearted by comparisson.

Oh, wait, you mean homosexual... riiiight. Well then, how do they keep reproducing?

Actually, maybe that's the way to end the "High Elf Problem", turn them to the Side and watch them have lots and lots of safe clean fun wth each other, but die out due to lack of non-asexual reproduction!

GENIUS!

The smelly elf king gave an arrogant, stuck-up-his-own-backside response to the dwarf who had asked for apology/explanation/compensation, the elf basically said he would not do anything unless the dwarf pleaded. He was asking for trouble, he was telling the proud and honourable dwarf to plead. The elf knew dwarfs were a proud race and provoked the dwarf to draw his axe and then ordered to have the messenger’s beard shaved off.

He knew full bloody well that beards were valued highly amongst the dwarfs, and the act of force-shaving a dwarf was unthinkable. The elf knew this and he did it anyway, because of his arrogance.

Obviously humans will not see the sense here concerning beards, but dwarfs have different taboos to us. The war as about honour, vengeance and elfen treachery.

the elf king certainly did deserve what he got.

Nerothos

What about Caledor, who tried to offer peace but instead got an axe to the chest?

Or, when he did offer peace, the Dwarfs opened the gates to the city and let the army pour in, kill everything, THEN challenge Caledor who tried to offer peace, but instead got an axe to the chest?

Or the stealing of the pheonix crown followed up by cowaring behind your fortress walls?

The elf was foolish to ask for "peace" after such a treacherous act of betrayal, the dwarfs were not just going to accept a simple "sorry mates, wont happen again, yeah?" they demanded vengeance for the mockery.

Don’t try and make the duel with Caledor sound so simple, the elf was allowed to fight for his life - his weapon was nothing compared to the might of the dwarf steel - I repeat, they deserved everything they got. Treacherous gits.

And you know very well we did not "steal" your precious crown, we fought for it, we killed that bloody pointy ear in single combat and took his crown to restore our honour. We had won, we had our vengeance.

We marched back to out fortress, but the elves didn't like it now that they had been humiliated - they weren’t so peaceful then were they, didn’t like it when they were mocked? We stood behind our walls, ready to fight you off once more, but you went to play with a bunch of dark elfs.

If you make them put it in the Book of Grudges, it's a done deal. Afterall, the dwarves sent an ambassador of peace fist, who was shamed and humiliated, and is probably a slayer now, just to try and claw back some honour before he dies. The elves, after shaving the dwarven ambassador, then decide to send their own?? It was a declaration of war from the moment the first hair was removed from dwarven chin.

Dwarves send message of peace
Elves send dwarf back without beard

hmm... wonder if there will be slayer pirates:D ?

To be honest, I can't really see how anyone got away with that concept for DoW. I mean, it's one of the least Slayerish things you can do, take up piracy. There's nothing dwarven about it, nothing honourable, nothing glorious... and they use swords and pistols... to coin modern net-speak "wtf!?!?!"

I was thinking of getting back into collecting minuatures, maybe finish painting the last few of the Tyranid army from 4 years ago, or get myself a Slayer army (including all the old Marauder Minature classics!) for Christmas and spend a long long while painting them up. I saw the slayer pirates, I nearly popped out an eye and unhinged my jaw when my face registered the thoughts in my head, and... I think these will be the only "slayer" units I will not be adding to my Kazak Kadrin army.

I put the Slayer Pirates into the same void gate they threw the Chaos Toilet (a GW staff member once told me it was the only mold they ever actually threw out, so no more will ever be made :)).

Pirates, yes. Slayers, yes. Slayer pirates, no. What's next? Black Orc Chapions of Sigmar? Bulliemic Halfling Cooks? Skaven Plaguerat Field Medics?

In (what I remember to be) the words of Samwise Gamgee "It's not nat'rul mista Frodo, it's jus' not nat'rul."

So if one of your friend plays a high elf you won't talk to him in game?

Now rp is all good an all but there are those rp douches

I had an alt on a Rp server once
Anyway i ran 4 differnt groups One had a group where the tank had NO armor and was defensive spec, Another had a weaponless rogue and was stealth sepc(Im rping jet li O.o) A Priest who didnt heal who was shadow spec and used swords (iam so evil i cant heal ill hurt myself).

Now the good things about RP, MOST are really good, VERY FEW noobs, and there arent any imbalanced race issues

Now im good with you not talking to the elf but what if hes the main healer?
And hes also prejudiced??? The main reason i stay out of rp servers is that reason

Zakat
09-29-2006, 01:19 PM
I'm torn between two decisions. My hatred for the elflings is very strong, and thus I'd never fight along side them unless it was unnavoidable. But I would never trust them to watch my back, and wouldn't treat them with respect! They deserve none!

But I lust for elf blood upon my Axe! So I'm tempted to travel to the elf land to slay many longears! Unfortunately the stupid manlings have made an alliance with the High Elfs and thus I am not so foolish as to risk breaking our Dwarf alliance with the manlings. So if you see me fighting on the battlefield in the Elf realm, remember this. I'm only doing it so I can slay the elfs. High Elves, Dark Elves...to me, all Elfs are the same.

((I think I'd get bored fighting Greenskins all the time, so Once I'm an accomplished warrior, hopefully a Slayer, I will probably head to the other realms and smack around some Chaos and Dark Elves.))

And by all means elf, join our servers, if ye really want to die before the might of the dwarfs - then that’s your problem... and our pleasure!

And your even-more-arrogant-than-most elfling king started the war of vengeance, we got what we came for, we had our revenge and compensation - the smelly crown.
But nooo, the elflings didn't like it when someone disgraced them.

We took the crown back to our hold, we had won, we had accomplished what we had set out to do. You decided to march to our hold - where we waited for you readily... to crush you once and for all. Believe me, no army can pass Karaz-a-Karak, have you seen its defense?? You would have been crushed with ease, good old molten lava. ;)

Snorri
10-01-2006, 08:21 AM
Like I said, almost nothing can pass Karaz-a-Karak, it is posisbly one of the most defended cities in the old world. The elf army would have been crushed.

I didnt say "no single dwarf hold could be destroyed" as history would have proven me wrong.

Our holds are mighty, but Karaz-a-Karak is a hold beyond compare, it would take all the forces of chaos to overwelm that city!

And yes, eight peaks fell... we were too confident in our wall's sturdiness, but it wasn't that which completly toppled us... it was the combined attack from the area we least expected it... underground!!!

We have learnt a harsh lesson from the fall of the eight peaks. But Karaz-a-Karak is the mightiest dwarf hold we have, followed by Karak Kadrin. I doubt anything could topple the runed walls of the everpeak, it would take a the combined force orcs, chaos and dark elfs...

Which is why W.a.R will be so interesting.
Oh, I wasn't calling you arrogant, was calling the elf king arrogant ;) But yes, it is in the nature of a dwarf to be stubborn, and in the nature of an elf to be arrogant.

Cats and Dogs, Flies and Frogs, Elfs and Dwarfs...

There's no problem that cannot be solved with a big enough axe.

Ok, than the Elfs should stop saying that the Dwarfs were cowards for returning to Karaz-a-Karak with the High Elf's crown. It all comes down to The Elf king being a jerk, and getting what he had comming. We have the crown, and if you want it back you can come and try and get it, we took what was right to reclaim our honour.

Not to throw a monkey wrench into the elf-hating, but I think people are losing the historical perspective. Dwarves and Elves have worked together after the War of the Beard, when faced with the overwhelming threat of Chaos. The first and most prominant would be the Great War Against Chaos, where the final battle at the gates of Kislev saw Magnus the Pious with both dwarven allies and a contingent of elves led by none other than Teclis himself; the second would be at the Siege of Middenheim when Teclis again accompanied by the Swordmasters of Hoeth went to war side-by-side with the Slayers of Kadrim Keep.

While I would say that High Elves and Dwarves don't get along, they certainly are able to put their differences aside on the battlefield - at least when the Empire forces are there to serve as a buffer.

Honestly? I would heal you, as you are part of the group and the whole party could be wiped, dwarfs humans and elfs alike being slaughtered. I'm not one of those roleplayers who "like tah fight unarmeed!!!11!" if you know what I mean.

But I dont plan to be grouped with elfs anyway, so that problem is not really an issue for me.
Any elf I meet will get a barrel of insults, "friend" or foe, if they are dark elfs they will get a good axe to their skull too.

I plan to group only with empire + other dwarfs :p

Partly.
It wasnt just the Darkelfs/Highelf ploy. (if you ask me, an elfs an elf.)
It was the High Elf's dishonourable, provoking and arrogant actions afterwards.

The pouinty ears still tihnk they were in the right and keep throwing out silly excuses about "ohhhh it was all the dark elfs" or "Whaaaaa that dwrafd rew his wepaon in the throne room" (leaving out why he did so.)

In short (no pun) Dwarfs and High Elfs are doomed to loath each other until the end of time.

Not realy.
That was the start of the war of the beards.
The dwarfs sent ambasadors to the elves to get compensation for the killing and stealing of goods by the dark elves, the phoenix king refused and sent the ambasador home with his beard shaven thus forcing the ambasador to become a slayer.
That is one of the biggest insults that a dwarf can have thrown at him thus the high king went to war, although he measured the elves by their strenght in the old world which was far less than the real strenght of them but in true dwarf fashion he wasn't about to say he was wrong.
The war then went back and forth until the high king and the phoenix king met in combat and the dwarf won, taking the phoenix crown as compensation declaring that vengance was met and the dwarf armies retreated into Karaz a Karak.

The grudge itself is over, it's lingering untrust from dwarfs that is the thing.
They can't trust a race that both have infighting and doesn't honour their word and of course shaves mens beards.

Or until we decide to finish them off once and for all?

Can you ever truly trust someone who has shaved a man's beard? I know I couldn't: far too much proficiency with a sharp implement for my tastes.

Aye that is the key point, we just cant trust them any more, but we are no longer at war with them.

Or until we decide to finish them off once and for all?
We shall hate them unto death!!!!
But finishing them off once and for all is a good start, aye. ;)

The dwarfen racial taboos sometimes seem strange to us humans :P Dwarfs are as alien to us as space invaders... they are a different species. The beard has much to do with honouring their ancestors and is a symbol of great importance amongst their society... the human equivalent for such an insult might be eating all of the kings babies :p
Actually no... the beard is more important than that!!

High Elves are masters of martial combat and are very wise (like vulcans). I will enjoy fighting along side them. With coming doom in the midst, past grudges with current allies have to be ignored ;-)

You sir are a shame to the whole dwarf kind :-x There's no something like 'past grudges'. Grudge is a grudge, it's gonna exist to the end of the world (and one day more) :!:

Your race, your looks, your gender, your attributes. None shall matter. In the end, you are naught but another puppet on the strings of Change. Those here who will not convert in those later years to Chaos, shall be gifted with a most blessed fate for a mortal, and be consumed by the ever-changing flames of Tzeentch. Elves, Dwarves, Humans, one and all. This is no time for squabbling. Bow down and accept supremacy. Worship the only true God, Tzeentch, or be engulfed by his firey maws.

Forgive me if I am wrong but from my knowledge of Dwarf lore there is no such thing as an 'old grudge'. Grudges last forever or until there has been suitable retribution. Either way once you've made an enemy of a dwarf you've got an enemy for life, even if he is no longer actively seeking to kill you.

yes you are correct, and i must say this is the first dwarf i have ever seen to ever forgive an elf, im sure he will be outcasted by the others, if snorri finds that post you will never hear the end of it.

A dwarf forgiving an elf! Gah gah GAHH! *Babbles and roars in rage* OUT! a dwarf who forgives the elf is just a mere stunted ork! *Babbles and yells in rage again*

that elf has giant toes. And cold touch is right. Dwarfs should put our minds over our emotions. That is what makes us an intellegent race and better than the greenskins.

I'll use my mind........Elves chop off dwarf beard x 2 = All elves untrustworthy and bad
We cannot forgive a race that is willing to chop off our beards as punishment for some less important matter. The Elves have never apolagised for their actions nor have they faight alongside is in any recent battle.

Mythic has outlined the Dwarf and Greenskin classes. Now they are starting on the Empire and Chaos armies. Is it too late to start a petition to scrap both of the elf armies and just concentrate on what we have? Game would be out sooner and it wouldn't have elves in it: it's a win - win situation.
