Princess (Star Dragon)
High Elf aristocrats are precise and calculating, and they bring this nature to the battlefield.The noble families of Ulthuan have led the High Elves through times of peace and conflict for thousands of years. They pride themselves on a deep sense of honour, as well as the mastery of both diplomacy and war as art forms. The High Elves believe an existence lived without precision to be hollow, and scarcely preferable to death. Any Elven aristocrat is just at home fighting with sword in bloody melee as he is loosing deathly-accurate arrows from afar, or even dictating the strategy from a greater distance still. Depending on their wealth and the kingdom of their birth, the princes and princesses of Ulthuan fight in many different ways. Those of Tiranoc typically do battle from the back of swift-wheeled chariots, while the lords of Lothern often stand, spear and bow in hand, amidst the ranks of the Sea Guard. Those with the greatest wealth might ride upon a Great Eagle or Griffon or, in the case of the mightiest princes and princesses of Caledor, a Dragon. Such steeds are invariably a symbol of status, as well as lending a brutal advantage in the midst of battle.

Abilities
- Volley of High Arrows
By which an unexpected shower of pointy death rains down upon the unfortunate targets. Ouch! - Loose!
The authorisation to loose arrows without adherence to drill makes for an irregular - and therefore far deadlier - hail of pointed death. - Star Dragon's Breath
The eldest, most powerful Dragons can destroy entire units with a molten blast of their white-hot breath. - Foe-Seeker
There are those who wish nothing more than to be at the heart of battle, seeking foes to vanquish.
Attributes
- Causes Fear
This unit frightens all enemy units, reducing their leadership when nearby. It is also immune to fear. Fear penalties do not stack. - Causes Terror
This unit can cause terror, making its melee target rout for a short time. Units that cause terror are immune to terror and fear themselves. - Encourage
This unit provides a Lord's aura and an encouraging unit will receive the larger of the two bonuses. - Fire Whilst Moving
This unit can fire while on the move.
Strengths & Weaknesses
- Star Dragon's Breath
The eldest, most powerful Dragons can melt armour and the flesh beneath with a molten blast of their white-hot breath. - Armoured
Armoured units can block damage from any source apart from Armour-Piercing damage. - Causes Terror
This unit can fear themselves. - Armour-Piercing Melee
The damage of armour-piercing weapons mostly ignores the armour of the target, making them the ideal choice against heavily-armoured enemies. They are often heavier and attack at a slower rate though, making them less efficient against poorly-armoured targets.
