Asarnil go. But leave the Dragon. And the Amulet. And also please train your replacement.

I thought that Alarielle, in contrast to her predecessors, is willing to go out and fight Chaos and that's why she has an army figurine and everything.

As far as I know, Imrik's a pretty good replacement. I think his dragon Minaithnir is even a Star Dragon, which is one step above Deathfang. That being said, what's better than one Dragon Prince+Dragon? Two Dragon Princes+ Two Dragons.
She fights Chaos but refuses to use weapons. Her combat prowress is unmatched when destroying corruption and anyone who holds the taint of chaos is vulnerable, but a regular pirate or beast isn't usually chaos, and there's plenty of those. She also gets weaker the more powerful Chaos gets or something like that.

She also wields Ghyran and Hysh on top of that with a skill on par with Archmage. Suffice to say that if an enemy isn't Chaos aligned, they will still find themselves staring into the eyes of Avatar of a Goddess that can smite them from existence without even really noticing they are there.
The blades are worthless in face of Everqueen sorcery.
EDIT:
The Everqueen does not fight in a conventional manner, and eschews weapons of all kinds, but she is no less dangerous for it. Her touch, so soothing to the pure-hearted, is anathema to those with even a taint of corruption in their hearts. The victim might not feel anything at first, but as the magic of her touch travels through his body, it grows more powerful, feeding off every black desire and cruel purpose.
The paragraph above is sourced to 8th edition HE armybook and nothing in it says the corruption has to be Chaosy either.

I admit the idea of him coming back with more gold and experience than he knows what to do with is a rather amusing idea.
I wonder if for his personal growth this has been better than staying on Ulthuan? He'd probably never admit it.
Allariel?
Erm...she's the one whose breaking tradition by being both aggressive and fighting personally.
That she doesn't personally stab people does not change that.

I mean, any blade is worthless in a fight if you can't reach your target. Hence why the Everqueen has a very sizable detachment of bodyguards that accompany her to battle, to make sure that category includes all of them.

Was Arsanil the prince of Caledor at the time? I know he fought off an Invasion that tried to land in Caledor, but I don't remember him being the actual prince
EDIT: Ignore me, im an idiot who opened the book and first word "Ex-Prince of Caledor"
It's never explicitly said in canon what type of dragon Deathfang is, but I think it's safe to say he's a Star Dragon. His statline is better than both the generic Star Dragon statline and that of Minaithnir, and he's described as 'one of the greatest Dragons that the Princes of Caledor could still wake'.
Imrik vs Asarnil is trickier. Imrik is the better leader and more skilled with a blade, but Asarnil is the only Toughness-4 Elf that isn't Malekith.

Pretty sure this is headcanon.
By the standards of previous Everqueens, alarielle is outright bloodthirsty.
She leads armies, in defence of ulthuan, and her reign started during a dark elf invasion where she definitely had to get her hands dirty.

I mean he's a Dragon Prince, but he's meant to be the son of Lord something or other.
Then again, given how many princes the elves have that might not mean anything.

E: Thanks Boney. No elf can take a punch like Asarnil and Malekith

As a side question, when Mathilde sent a ship to Ulthuan to sell the stories of Arsanil's adventures, was it Imirik that arrived on the dragon to drop a chest of gold for a bunch of copies or was it some other dragon rider?
Toughness 4, as tough as an Orc or a Dwarf.
They didn't introduce themself.

To offer my two cents, I think it makes sense for Asarnil to at the very least have a ton of experience dealing with weird situations (and ironically possibly a better diplomat when dealing with non elves.) While I'm tempted to say that he's got tons of EXP, flying around on a Star Dragon burninating the country side ain't exactly hard work, but he does still get commissions that challenge him as well.
Imrik I don't think is getting into combat nearly as often, but when he does its probably against foes that are going to put up a fight constantly.
Over all I'd say Asarnil is likely growing at a faster pace and can likely adapt to the unexpected far quicker.

I'm using the wiki for this, so it might be wrong, but the wiki says Deathfang is a "Great Green Dragon" (green is just a color, not an indicator of anything). Great Dragons are one step below Emperor Dragons in the life cycle of Dragons, and I was under the assumption Star Dragons were Emperor Dragon equivalent.
Of course, I'm probably wrong on this account. I definitely think Deathfang deserves the label of Star Dragon. He's pretty strong.

I'll continue to imagine in my head of fun times that it was Imirik

The general dragon page also notes that Great was used for age before the Sun/Moon/Star thing got added. Dragon - Warhammer - The Old World - Lexicanum
So this may be from an earlier version that got implicitly retconned.

My desire to make a DL wiki grows by the day so we don't have to deal with this anymore.
Yeah, back when I played in... gods, I don't remember the edition anymore, early 2000's, sun/moon/star dragons were not a thing yet, but Asarnil was.

Just to grow that desire.
The fact that they say it as a general statement also seems to create the implication that this age stuff also applies to wind aligned dragons. Which would make Cython a Ice Star Dragon.

Also, why is every description of Imrik obsessed with mentioning that he is "the last of the line of Caledor Dragontamer" as if he is the only one descended from him still alive? Isn't Asarnil also descended from Caledor? Or are they just being poetic in their way of saying he's the youngest guy descended from Caledor?

Yeah, Mathilde's not quite a legendary enchanter... yet. On the other hand, she's got two special traits for it, almost the maximum teachable skill level—as I recall we just need Battlemagic, and then would have to experiment to get better?—and was a leading party in creating the mega-nuke weapon that vaporized half a Waaagh in a moment. If nothing else she probably learned some neat tricks from that. Plus she'll be studying Waystones—and basically anything even remotely related that she can get her hands on, which includes at least that awesome elf library—which are basically the biggest and baddest enchantment project ever. I wouldn't be surprised if she eventually figured out how to make stuff similar to the Staff of Volans.
