In Warhammer Fantasy, the Isle of Ulthuan is home to the High Elves. It is located in the ocean between the Old World (equivalent of Europe) and the New World (North America). It is similar to many legends of Atlantis. During the civil war between the High Elves and their kin the Dark Elves, referred to as The Sundering, the greatest of the Elven mages cast a devastating spell to wipe out the Dark Elves from Ulthuan, but in doing so, caused much of the outer lands of the island nation to sink beneath the waves. There are ten kingdoms of Ulthuan. These are:

Avelorn: Home of the Allarielle Everqueen. This land is covered in lush forest and is home to Pegasi, Unicorns, and Giant Eagles. Avelorn is the oldest kingdom of Ulthuan and it is from here that the Everqueens have ruled throughout the centuries from the Gaen Vale, a rich valley where they sing and dance with their courtiers the Handmaidens of the Everqueen, beautiful and skilled female warriors.

Caledor: The most martial and proudest of the realms. Caledor was once the heart of Ulthuan's power with its mighty Mage-Princes and their great Dragon Mounts. Sadly, today the remaining Princes ride warhorses decorated in the armor of dragons, a sad echo of days long past.

Chrace: Home of the White Lions of Chrace, wood-elves possessing great strength and wielding large axes, who act as a ceremonial bodyguard to the phoenix king.

Cothique: A coastal realm, whose main industries involve shipping, trading, and fishing.

Eataine: Home to the greatest city in Ulthuan, Lothern. This great city is home to tens of thousands of elves and is the bustling centre of trade. It is guarded by 10,000 Lothern Sea Guard and numerous impenetrable defenses.

Ellyrion: Home of the horselords. The elves here learn to ride as soon as they can walk and are the greatest horsemen in Ulthuan. The capital of Ellyrion is Tor Elyr.

Nagarythe: The shadowlands. The shadow warriors roam this barren landscape defending it from the constant threat of dark elves.

Tiranoc: A sunken realm still recovering from the Sundering. It is home to great charioteers. Its capital is Tor Anrok.

Saphery: Home of the Mages of Ulthuan, who reside in the miles-high Tower of Hoeth, where all the knowledge of the elves is stored. It is guarded zealously by the swordmasters of Hoeth, the most skilled swordsmen in the world.

Yvresse: The most sparsely-populated elven realm, it has only one city, Tor Yvresse.
