**Alarielle the Radiant** is a  High Elves Legendary Lord unit introduced in *Total War: Warhammer II* with The Queen and the Crone. In the campaign, she leads  **Avelorn**.

## Description

Since the Golden Age, the Everqueen has served as Isha's chosen priestess in the mortal world. Whilst the tradition of the Phoenix King is relatively new, a mere six and a half thousand years in age, there has always been an Everqueen. Alarielle is the eleventh Everqueen to rule since the time of Aenarion. Her flowing hair is like a golden cloud, and it is said that so great and timeless is her beauty that it can move even the immortal gods to tears. The Everqueen's power is that of nature itself. Where Alarielle walks, the fields start to blossom and flowers spring forth from the ground. As a servant of light and nature, the Everqueen is opposed to corruption in all its forms. More importantly, her presence is anathema to tainted creatures of all kinds.

Alarielle is a versatile spellcaster, bringing extreme amounts of healing and augment magic while also having some offensive capabilities. She is also surprisingly durable in melee, as her melee defence is higher than one would expect. She can also be given a Great Eagle mount to provide mobility and the ability to charge an enemy quickly and run before being tied down in melee.

Among her items, the Star of Avelorn is the standout. It provides a large amount of healing outside of the Winds of magic which synergizes well with elite High Elf units as well as Martial Prowess. The healing radius is small but the heal itself is huge, so a cluster of single-entity fighters or elite units like Dragon Princes are the best targets.

The Stave of Avelorn is useful for maintaining her spell casting ability long into a fight, but not necessary.

The Shieldstone of Isha imbues magic damage and immune to psychology in a radius around Alarielle which can be useful when fighting against factions that bring many fear/terror units (Vampire Counts, Tomb Kings) or physical resistance (Wood Elves, Greenskins).
