Oh, yeah, they absolutely do, it's just that high elves decide to be the good guys anyway.

All the elven factions decided that, actually. The difference is how they define good.
Dark Elves: Revenge against those who imposed unjust exile upon them.
High Elves: Preventing the annihilation of existence by the forces of Chaos.
Wood Elves: Preserving their home against the incursion of hostile powers.
no, but wherein the lore did a Caledorian sacrifice themselves for a human peasant? in a TT book or a novel?
I just don't know what you're citing for that. even Teclis sometimes finds it hard to think the 'lesser' races lives matter on a one to one bases even when he knows he is being an ass.

Halflings.
Halflings dont count, they get along with anyone who doesn't try to murder them.

So we need to find a way to suppress or hide elemental magic from our sight if we want to take a peek at those runes. I feel like our potential shopping list if we ever go to Ulthuan grows ever larger.
cross quest stuff is suspect unless the GM says so, the threads choices can make factions act way out of character.
what is weird is that its seems that the goodwill is generally returned by the elves.

We can see the runes, that was about people with worse sight for magic.

Certain sects of Elves, I believe, and they only like subsets of elves.

I imagine that after a century of trying to police the world and keep it not dead, you come to appreciate it when a group does nothing but farm and offer you good food 90% of the time. It's a mix of Gandalf's feelings toward hobbits, with a splash of racist/classist "these people know how to live according to their station and don't get uppity" playing into the arrogance most elves have.

Lets be more fair here. While what you say is totally true, with Mathilde he is totally chill, and honestly if he's an asshole to 99.99% of the people he runs into, so long as that doesn't involve anyone we actually like/care about, I'm totally fine with that.
High Elves are, in general, arrogant fuck nuggets. A combination of Atlantis, Tolkien Elves and the British Empire as they are. Still when the chips are down they can and will help the other races. Sneering the whole way, perhaps, but help they will.
Malekith, however, is a psychopathic shitstain who had the opportunity to make a culture however he liked and decided that his vision of the future was blood drenched murder crazies slaughtering anything and everything. True phoenix king my fucking ass.
Wood Elves are based, in a large part, upon the more olde folk fae. Aka, they are not anyones friends. That forest is hungry and those particular elves are just giving it a pretty face.

No they don't. They have the prediction of Rhana Dandra, the climatic battle between order and chaos that will destroy the dragons. One of the key things that separates the DE and HE is that the HE generally believe they'll win.
Elves are quite literally the origination of the concept of knighthood in Warhammer world.
Naw, he revised his beliefs upwards, from "This is an unreliable and dangerous craft, but we owe you, so try not to explode near me", to "this is an unreliable and dangerous craft, but that does not mean its wielders are necessarily unreliable".
WoG on this: Elementalists are more stable than non-College mono-Wind spellcasters, but less so than College mono-Wind spellcasters.
Their instability is greatly overstated, the difficulty is finding someone Kragg trusts to work with.
Personally I figure we got a perfectly good avenue of investigation: hit up books on elementals, study it with Windsight.
No need to make it our official job or rush it, Kragg fully intends to spend centuries on this.
Considering they did it to shelter the dead, I think they're mainly relevant if the whole world exploded.
Its like...Constitutional Amendments.
They're important but they're political entities, and subject to political forces.
In essence, this is exactly the same kind of pride that kicked off the War of the Beard to begin with.
Its just that they decided to flip Ulthuan off rather than the Karaz Ankor and fuck ever recanting.
Not weird at all.
Halflings are the opposite position from the elves. EVERYONE disregards them, so they got little pride.
The elves are quite fine with people who know their place.
Athel Loren, for all intents and purposes, is an outright, if a relatively minor Warp Realm. And the Asrai decided to attach themselves to it.
There's no place left for friendship inside them due to the sheer overflow of lunacy.

...Does the phrase "Rhana Dandra" come up in Fantasy outside of End Times? Because I was referring to the Prophecy of Demise.

I believe so, although I couldn't give you a source.
The Prophecy of Demise speaks of "the tragedy that would befall Elvenkind", not necessarily the end of their species. There's also the fact that a lot of it talks about someone who is commonly held to be Malekith will die, so even if it did prophecize the end of the Elves, Malekith still wouldn't be doing anything to stop it for altruistic reasons. Not that he's very good at being active to accomplish his goals anyway.

Let's not go that far. They have different values than other peoples, but they are perfectly capable of friendship if not antagonized (using their standards for antagonize).
Eyes of the beholder.
There are greenskins and such that considers humans just an upstart gits.
