Quotes

The High Elves, called the Asur in their own tongue, are among the oldest, proudest, and grandest civilisations in the known world. Gifted in life’s pursuits, their society is a beacon of knowledge, culture, art, and military excellence. In a world threatened by malefic powers, the High Elves stand as the world’s foremost defence against Chaos. ~ The Defenders of Order.[1]
