Ask me lore questions

[Reverend Belial]

Alright, I guess it's about time that I updated this description.

This is a place for newcomers to the lore, or veterans looking to fact-check, to come and ask questions about the lore of Warhammer Fantasy.

FAQ:
Q: Is 40k and Fantasy the same universe?
A: No. 40k discussions go in this thread. http://steamcommunity.com/app/364360/discussions/0/333656722976215057/

Q: What is the End Times and why did it happen?
A: The End Times is the destruction of the Warhammer Fantasy setting, both in and out of universe. Chaos won the final confrontation and destroyed the world, beginning a new cycle and franchise. Out-of-universe this was done because Fantasy's models were costing Games Workshop more money than they were making them so they decided to scrap the setting entirely and reboot it as an 80's power metal album cover.

Disclaimers/Guidelines (I know that we're not supposed to back-seat moderate but sometimes it's necessary to keep things organized):
1. The most important thing; I AM NOT ALWAYS RIGHT. Do not take what I say as the gospel truth, I can forget and I can misread things just like everybody else. My knowledge of the Elves is also pretty shady. There are several regulars around who tend to fill in blanks or correct me if I'm wrong though, so you'll probably get your answer regardless.

2. Repeat questions are ok, so long as the question hasn't been asked on the same page or the one before it. I don't expect anybody to sift through 3000+ posts, but a light skim of the previous page won't kill anybody.

3. GW is extremely vague on many things, so sometimes there just simply isn't an answer to your question. They're also prone to retcons so sometimes what you think is the answer is no longer valid.

4. Try to avoid arguments. I know that sometimes they're unavoidable, but please don't deliberately antagonize anybody. Pretty basic.

5. Sit back, read, and enjoy.

6. No questions about CA's design decisions, or attempts to explain them. It's pointless, and just starts arguments and existential despair.

7. No using the word "strawman". It's a personal thing, it just grates on me.

8. No continuing the "Skaven don't exist" meme outside the context of the lore. I know it's fun sometimes, but it's old, tired, and just wants to rest. Plus it grates on other people.

I feel like there probably wouldn't be much of a before, I think he would just wave his hand and vaporize you or whatever and then go back to brooding.

He just winks at you and your own ass eats the rest of your body

through his suspicion and paranoia, yes. if any other other elves overheard, they would mostly likely think it was just a random insult

But you could really see the anger in that mask of his so its obvious he took it personally

Honestly, any prefix could've worked there
♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

For any dark elf, that's kinda their thing

so is incest that common among elves and dark elves?

Actually no. I'm sure it's not unheard of, but even Malus Darkblade painted it as being something pretty uncommon.

And what about Half Elves from a Human/Elf pairing, because there is no indication that Humans and Elves are completely biologically incompatible from what I read.

They are indeed incompatible, and even if they weren't an Elf would never deign to lay with a human. As I believe Jakal pointed out, it's about the equivalent of a human going and trying to have a baby with a monkey.

But aren't Humans, Elves, and Dwarfs all creations of the Old Ones so there should be some genetic similarities?

Lizardmen are creations of the Old Ones too, doesn't mean you can ♥♥♥♥ a Skink.

[It's Clown Time!]

From what I understand the only 2 races created by the old ones that are really "related" are ogres and halflings

nah, they were all derived from different inital genetic stock so there's no reason to assume that. also the dwarfs were likely not a creation of the old ones, based on the hints set in the lore.
