Author's Notes and Version History

By now you may be wondering why I wrote this?

Let me explain how this crazy idea came about. It started innocuously enough. Xhilipepa and I agreed to have a game at our games club, and both he and I wanted to play as Wood Elves. Great! we thought, this will be interesting. But I couldn't leave it like that, oh no. I had to make up a background. I came up with Wood Elves who worship Khaine and their leader was named Kry'el. Me being a dedicated follower of all things evil, (and Xhilipepa just being plain evil) I took the role of Kry'el and the corrupt Wood Elves. But I had to go and make up some extra rules as well. I got hatred and obedience test (of Dark Elf fame) while he became resolute (of High Elf fame). As it happens Xhilipepa won the battle but a spark of an idea had formed in my twisted mind. The Arhainii were born.

I'm also going to take this oppurtunity to give a big thankyou to all the Direwolf R'n'F on the Warhammer Mailing List. They have been a great help in this project as well as being an appreciative audience to all the wierd things I dream up.
