OvN – The Grim

Eltharion the Grim, Prince of Yvresse and Warden of Tor Yvresse, is one of the greatest of all Elven lords. Many times has he achieved what would have been thought impossible. It was Eltharion who was the first of Ulthuan’s generals to dare an assault on Naggarond itself and live to speak of it, and he who finally brought about the defeat of Waaagh! Grom. For his valour in that battle, Eltharion was elected Warden of Tor Yvresse and, though he is a dour ruler, the people of that fair city love him dearly.

Adds Prince Eltharion the Grim as a secondary lord to the four playable High Elf factions and includes the following;

Part of my "Old vs New" range of mods, these mods aim to increase the interaction between the New World and Old. Available to all playable High Elf Factions in the mortal empires campaign, Prince Eltharion the Grim starts in the badlands. If the player is playing a faction other than the playable High Elf factions he will spawn in the badlands under the faction Yvresse, so as Greenskins for instance you can have fun destroying Eltharion.

I modelled him after his entry in the 8th edition High Elf Army Book and have tried to balance his stats between tabletop and CA’s interpretation. He has all his items, access to his mount and is immortal. I have designed and tested this to be true to both tabletop and the total war game. The Lord is well balanced and I’ve taken time to make sure he is powerful but not OP.

If you also subscribe to Cataph’s High Elf Sea Patrol mod your starting army with Eltharion will have a couple of his great custom units as well.

Compatible with every mod including overhauls like SFO/Crynsos only for Mortal Empires campaigns and will require a new game to take effect.

This is a LUA script which is highly compatible with other mods as it runs separately to other mods. The pack file name is sr_grim if you want to have a look or edit anything.

• Tweaks and Balances – Please provide feedback in the comments
• Possibly add quest battles
• Add to Vortex Campaign
