Ebook
Ebooks are designed for reading and have few connections to your library.
Overview
Although few in number, elves produce the most skilful and deadly warriors of all the races. Renowned for their archery and agility, they are mostly associated with hit and run tactics; however, they should not be underestimated in open battle. This book compiles all of the information known about these elegant warriors and how they practise war. From an initial examination of the fighting methods of the individual elf fighter, it expands to look at how they do battle in small companies and vast armies. It covers all of their troop types from their justifiably famous bowmen and swordmasters to their lightning fast cavalry, making note of regional variations and highly specialized fighters such as war mages. Accompanied by numerous illustrations in both colour and black and white, this book examines specific battles in great detail in order to fully demonstrate the elf way of war.
A lavishly illustrated guide to the arms and tactics and troop types of the Elves, one of fantasy’s most popular races, sure to appeal to fans of The Lord of the Rings, Dungeons & Dragons, Warhammer, and World of Warcraft.
Elves are one of the most ubiquitous of fantasy races and play a large role in many fantasy novels and games including The Lord of the Rings, Dungeons and Dragons, World of Warcraft and Warhammer.
The ongoing impact of Peter Jackson’s epic series of films means that Elves have never before featured so prominently in popular culture.
Video games such as Shadows of Mordor and the Elder Scrolls series allow fans to experience Elfish combat first hand.
