I guess that's fair, but I still think that it would be better the other way around.
Joke's on you I have no issue with Alarielle.
True, but Loremasters have fairly weak spells and Saphery does help with getting stronger ones.

Is there an Elf character you do have issue with?

Easter is referencing a Ulthuan GSRP we were both involved with wherein my PC hated the previous Everqueen, Alarielle's mother. It's just an in-joke, I don't actually have an issue with any elf characters (Well, some of the depictions of Morathi are a bit squicky but I can look past them).

Personally I find the position of the Everqueen severely underexplored.
They're one of the two pillars of Elven society, but completely disappear between Yvraine's ascension and Alarielle's mother's death. To the best of my knowledge, Alarielle's mother wasn't even named until the End Times (where she is called Estrielle)

Yeah, a part of that is that Phoenix Kings traditionally seem to handle foreign politics and military matters, which tended to put the Everqueens out of the spotlight in Warhammer until Alarielle broke tradition by taking on a more proactive role leading armies and such. The Everqueen's role appears to be mainly about safeguarding against corruption and looking after the elven people, but because we so rarely see at purely internal High Elf matters they seem to just disappear from existence.

Troops come before spell selection.
Next vote will be on the reason behind your exile, then personal traits, then magical items, then troops (during which you can also give up troops for traits or items you missed), then spells and lastly your starting location in the Old World.

Very thorough.

Clearly we should get quantity over quality, much like us they can grow in power over time! Going from militia elves to true elites.
Ignore how the time scale we're probably using is barely a blip in an elves life span, unless we're working on an elf's timespan over a human one.

Do you have a particular time period in mind, or would that be telling?
That's only if they survive to become elite, and armies that try to go for quantity over quality tend to have grievous casualties and need a steady supply of fresh meat for the grinder.

Something to remember is our quantity is better than most human quality. As in elf milita *might* lose against a great sword, maybe.
