How were Elves portrayed in Warhammer during its third edition? There was already a lot of background in 5th edition's High Elf army book, but my impression of older Warhammer (such as the fun-looking multiplayer scenario Orc's Drift) is of a much more vague and decisively less restrictive Elf background.
Also, how pronounced was the split into current day's three factions?
Were Elves (and Dwarfs) already in decline of doom in 3rd edition background? Or were their place in the world more open to such things as decent future prospects? My brother have wondered about this in particular, since both he and I find the doomed thing about Dwarfs and Elves irritating and belittling to any fantasy world background. Let's face it: Elves and Dwarfs may come with a history of shrunken empires in the past, but they're still much more interesting if there are ups which allows them to act like a proper actor on the stage of fantasy imperial competition.
