I was a little confused and somewhat bored reading the dark elven lore in this book, but maybe that is because I read the "High Elves" codex first and much of the history is repetitive. I read this codex coupled with the "High Elf" codex to hopefully glean some alternating perspectives on the history of Ulthuan so as to better enhance my role playing experience in Warhammer. This book did not sway me over to the persuasion of the dark elves, did not convince me of their purpose, unfortunately, but I do understand what happened better now.
