Long ago the High Elves abandoned their cities in the Old World to return to their island home of Ulthuan. Some, however, stubbornly stayed, unwilling to leave their forest behind. These are the ancestors of the Wood Elves, who still live in the enchanted forest of Athel Loren. Having tamed the wild beasts and befriended the strange Treemen and Dryads, a Wood Elf army is unlike any other. Adapting well to their surroundings, the Wood Elves have developed many new troop types ideal for protecting their land. To this day the sacred forest of Athel Loren has never been conquered.
