As the topic states. Do they fight each other? I believe (to my knowledge) that the race is on the defensive with lots of raiding parties on their homeland and a lack of population growth that they can't spare the man power fighting each other. But that is from what I have read and I was wondering if there was precedent in recent High Elf history if they have had internal turmoil?

Do the Dark Elf invasions count as internal turmoil? I mean they are the same race after all...

I would say no because Dark Elf culture has changed and they have removed themselves and are a disowned people to the High Elves.

i would say no they probabaly dotn fight each other, they had there messy civil war wayyy back in the the day n that pretty much slapped the taste out of there mouth for the next millenia or 2 anyway haha, an awesom book to read btw for that is caledor!

I would say yeah, I mean, two minor nobles could decide to fight one another, and it's highly plausible that one of them is a dark elf agent or something.

It's possible they have war games, they are all highly trained right.

I was about to say what HoverBoy said training, war games they may be wimpy but they have got to train and stay focused and prepared.

I'd say yeah if some Lords got in a dispute over something or one went traitor.

yes, for either of the reasons given above:
Internal turmoil (ie 2 Nobles fighting it out over some sort of disagreement)
Training and War Games.

Both seem perfectly plausible.

I'd say definitely yes. If a noble wants become a leader they may have to go against another High Elf army who's general is a rival noble.

the two reasons presented make sense to me, but I wonder is there precedent of it in the fluff anywhere?
