So, I was playing the fan-made Prince of Ulthuan CYOA on /r/makeyourchoice -very fun, highly recommend.

I learned that there are currently 3 unrepresented High Elf kingdoms that could show up in the next DLC as a new faction, two of which have very distinct gameplay styles that would translate well to TW:WH3.

Tiranoc: A once proud, prosperous kingdom that was known for its smithing and its colonies, fell on hard times because the Dark Elves broke off. They still craft some of the best chariots and war machines in the land but they cannot maintain them as well as they could back in the old days.

Ellyrion: The second nicest place in Ulthuan, it's known for its intelligent, strong cavalry. Its residents also know of many secret paths throughout the islands that allow them shorter travel times/unusual strike angles that other High Elves don't know about.

Cothique: A coastal city, one that other elves don't have much love for. They produce some of the finest sailors in the realms, and use some of the strongest mages in Ulthuan to keep their magical coastal defenses running.

it’ll most likely be the Lothern Sea Patrol showing up, almost certainly as an expeditionary faction abroad somewhere rather than another kingdom within Ulthuan.

Lothern Sea Patrol. 

You could get an option to confederate a kingdom like imrik if the devs wish to make you fight slaanesh/dark elves early before taking on decchala

However that would also mean facing N’Kari/morathi early on while dealing with whoever is set to pressure you (likely kairos if you wish to save private teclis)

If, and that's a big if, HE are in the Slaanesh dlc, I don't think they're going to be any HE kingdom, and instead be their own faction with Aislinn

That wouldn’t really make sense. Imrik is the Prince of Caledor but Aislinn is not having power over any of the Kingdoms. He is the Chief admiral of the Fleet.

how is that a big if? HE are almost guaranteed to be part of the Slaanesh DLC. Sure it’s still an if but certainly not a big one.

Lol, don't take this kid's bait. High Elves are guaranteed. He's the Cathay fanboy who can't get over the fact that his favorite race won't be part of the Slaanesh DLC, remember?

I suspect we'll see much of the next DLC's action start to open up Ind, as we know the focus will be on Slaanesh and the heavily favored Dechala was devastating Ind before the End Times.  High Elves would make a perfect match up, with Dechala hating their guts and the High Elven presence nearby in the Eastern Colonies.  Aislinn fits the bill perfectly for that spot.  Not opposed to Finubar ever being included, as he was notorious for leaving Ulthuan on expeditions even after becoming Phoenix King, but of the two Aislinn works better.

Unless its Finubar and CA saves Aislinn for a future Lost Isles of Elithis mosh-pit.  I'd be down for that!

It would still be nice to have more of the Kingdoms being represented other than punching bags for LL factions though.  Perhaps CA can consider this when adding Legendary Heroes?  I know with the Dark Elves I'm kind of rooting for Anethra Helbane (as a FLC after Tullaris), since even though she's a very minor character it's been done before (Ghorst), she gives the Dark Elves a pure caster without Morathi's corruption, and she can represent Clar Karond (Taurox's starting punching bag).

If the Slaanesh DLC opens up Ind this also paves the way for the next DLC possibly featuring the the Monkey King, fleshing out this map expansion pretty nicely within a year.

to elaborate further, the Lothern Sea Patrol is pretty much the Ulthuan Royal Navy. It’s bound to Lothern but it’s the main Navy of Ulthuan as a United Realm. So instead of playing a Kingdom you would lead the Asurs strongest military force and the most powerful Navy in the Warhammer world. 

The Sea Patrol is commanded be the Sealord who is in return in charge of Ulthuans united Royal fleet. That position is currently is currently hold by Sealord Aislinn. 

The Lothern Sea Patrol is not the Royal Fleet of Ulthuan. By playing the Lothern Sea Patrol one would play as Lothern.

The Sealord commands the entire Navy of Ulthuan. Both the Royal fleet and the Sea Patrol are therefore under Aislinns direct command. 

The wiki is wrong yet again.

No it’s not. You just don’t like it. 

Aislinn commands the entire HE navy including both the Sea Patrol and the Royal Navy. Both are subdivisions of HE Navy.

Yes, yes it is. There is no such information in the footnote's source. It is someone's fabrication.

I think you are in denial here but that’s okay. Aislinn will soon be here and this debate will finally be over once and for all.

"The current Sea Lord, Aislinn, is a phenomenal tactician and an implacable foe.  Under his control the High Elf fleet has gained scores of impressive victories." -7E HE Armybook, Pg 50.

Is more about that he not command the royal fleet 

Even I can just take that Fleet means all the naval forces of them
