Eltharion has been taught by the Master of the White Tower of Hoth, and wields one of the long, two-handed blades of the Swordmasters. Clad in the pure white robes of the Order and cutting through the foe with ease, Eltharion is now called the White Sword by many Dark Elves who have seen him. So great is Eltharion's skill, he can use a number of fighting styles, each of which has a different effect on his rules.

At the start of each round of combat, Eltharion must declare which fighting style he is using for that whole round. Note that the White Sword is not a magic weapon, nor is it a normal great weapon. Only the rules listed below apply to Eltharion's attacks.
Way of the Willow Branch
Eltharion's body twists and contorts like a reed in the wind, and his sword deflects incoming blows with astounding speed, making him virtually impossible to hit. Any close combat attacks against Eltharion require 6s to hit, before any other modifications, and regardless of relative Weapons Skills or any other special rules.
Way of the Winter Breeze
Weaving his sword in a bewildering, swirling arc, Eltharion is able to guide his blade through even the most steadfast defence. Eltharion attacks at +1 to hit in close combat.
Way of the Swooping Eagle
Eltharion summons all of his speed and might into a few deadly blows. Eltharion's attacks are resolved at +2 Strength.
Way of the Breaking Storm
Unleashing his speed and strength in a flurry of blistering attacks, Eltharion rains down blow after blow on the enemy. Eltharion gains +2 Attacks.
