For actual reason, while the UI is taking place (and i saw snappy's post but wanted to bring it up the other way around since weeks)...
honestly... is that supposed to be a highelf cup on ulthulan? were the people from the northern region start with hate against darkies in warhammer because they are pure evil?... i dont think there is any possible way to explain why highelves should play side by side with them...
fluff explanations don't need to be always completly right.. but they shouldn't be completly pointless either, right? |

It just splits into soft and bashy teams. Fluff is just second here I think. |

I read that in another thread some time ago (maybe concerning last years UI). And Skaven were considered bashy because of their access to Claw etc. .. So this is not my opinion but was the creators intention I think |

I would propose another partitioning:
- High Elf, Dark Elf, Wood Elf and Elf together with Amazon, Chaos Dwarf, Chaos, Orc, Halfling, Skaven and Lizardmen
- On the other side: Human, Norse, Dwarf, Undead, Vampire, Necro, Khemri, Nurgle, Gobbos and Ogres.
It's just as arbitrary as the actual partitioning, but probably would produce even more exciting fixtures. |

Here is last year's discussion of this.
Mezir wrote: | About bashiness: Skaven can get claw and rsc and very often do. Thus they can't really complain about being in the Dark group.
About teams in light and dark: High Elves hate dwarfs and think they are evil. Dark elves pose as other elves to get an easy qualifier (hey, it's not like they have ID cards, or that Dark Elves have never posed as non-dark elves before...).
In my opinion any split-up into two distinct groups would cause a fuss for one reason or another, but this one is the one we're using. |

DarkElves have pale skin, hence they fall under the "light" category. |
