Where is some White Lion lore?

sirslayerr

From the posts other people have made, on this website and others, I would agree that a White Lion would be the last class for the High Elfs. My question is (as stated in the title), where is there some White Lion lore to read up on?

Past experience, my main character in EQ was a Beastlord, for two main reasons. I liked the lore behind that idea (my character was a barbarian), and it was fun to play with a pet as a melee dps class.

In WoW, I played a hunter also for two reaons. Those being, the lore of the elves and the fact it had a pet class. The downside to this was all the stigma the "Legolas elves" caused by rolling hunters.

Also, I liked the micromanagement ability, to control 2 things at once. It adds in an element into strategy (send pet to attack one target while I go after one, then switch both over to the healer and burn them down) which I enjoyed. Plus, most people have a hard time focusing on what the pet and I are doing at the same time.

So this leads me to WAR, and I was somewhat elated to find out there would be an elf (I'm a fan of elves and barbarians) melee (always been fond of melee) pet class (sweet!). Now, all I need is some lore to read up on to get a good feel for the class. So, if anyone has a link, or a suggestion to a book, or something else, I would be deeply appreciative to get that.

Thank you for your time, and stay safe.

The lore, at this point, comes mostly from the tabletop armybook and novels, so we cant share that here.

This, however, is some basic info from the GW site:

The White Lions are the personal guard of the Phoenix King. They form a number of substantial regiments that protect the King's palace in peacetime and accompany him in time of war. Traditionally the White Lions are recruited from the rugged land of Chrace, a perilous realm whose inhabitants are great woodsmen and fierce warriors. Those woodsman of Chrace who prove themselves worthy to become a member of the King's elite bodyguard are expert warriors, who fight with long-handled axes. Shoulder to shoulder with their comrades, White Lions are capable of weathering the deadliest assaults before retaliating with swift, crushing blows.

White Lion regiments are often despatched to join the armies of Ulthuan during times of particular danger, tasked with protecting High Elf generals, mages or bolstering the overall strength of the army. White Lions are renowned for their unflinching courage in the face of overwhelming odds and terrible horrors, protecting their charge whatever the foe and regardless of the danger to themselves.

Its not much, I know.

 

EDIT: Although, Í've realised that they have tweaked the lore a tad, to implement it as a pet class in WAR.

 Indeed, they did tweaked the lore in tiny bits here and there because I don't actually recall seeing WL with pets on tabletop - High Elves (and Dwarves) by the way where hard to beat for an unprepared casual Chaos Army player - just to tease some people.

Anyway I think they really had to tweak it at some points so it would be playable while being enjoyable and still not going to much astray from the lore.



Cheers!
