The pact that binds the Great Eagle to the High Elves is ancient, lasting since the time that the legendary Caradinor and Sulinash rode to war against the Daemons of Chaos.

Compared to Griffons, or even Elven steeds, Great Eagles are highly intelligent and require no training and very little coaxing to join the Elves in battle. Their depth of understanding and their intellect is greater than any creature save perhaps Dragons, and the wisest of the Asur are able to converse with them as if passing the time of day. Great Eagles are haughty and proud creatures though, and they do not suffer foolish company gladly.

The Great Eagles are large enough that they can, if they so choose, consent to be used as mounts. Their long friendship with the High Elves has occasionally resulted in the Great Eagles allowing Elves to be borne into battle on their backs. The birds will only offer this service when confronted with an exceptionally dire threat. Far more common is the Great Eagle's use as a long range scout. The Eagles' value as messengers and scouts is obvious, as it is difficult for any opposing force to escape their watchful eyes.

When the forces of Chaos or Dark Elves come to raid Ulthuan, it is often the Great Eagles who warn of the arrival of the black sailed vessels, and when the High Elves assemble for battle, the noble Eagles join the throng. With powerful talons, the Great Eagles swoop down upon the crew of enemy war machines and tear them apart before using mighty wings to bear themselves swiftly away and out of reach.
