Malekith true king of all elvenkind! To be fair malacath does know just how much this is costing the reason why he hates the dark elfs. If it wasn't for his mother he would have given this up long ago.

[@coldrage20t8]

Aenarion the Defender He already was a good king. He set up the colonies and was going to give up his want for the Phoenix throne but then his mother showed up and took him to the chaos wastes and well we all know how that story went from there.

[@ethanwall2443]

So do the dark elves not feel the cold

[@nakenmil]

The elves in the skimpy clothing are often hopped up on drugs or are in a murder-frenzy, so they don't really care. Others are magicians, so they can manipulate their temperature-tolerance. And then lastly, they're elves, so they're all pretty good at dealing with extreme conditions.

[@nebeskisrb7765]

I always wondered how the hell do the Dark Elves sustain their population. You have tons of small skirmishes that certainly cost at least some lives, you have huge wars against Chaos hordes from the north and against the High Elves, then you have all the interior assassinations and squabbles, and lastly you have the Death Night.

[@Gorvar100]

Cookie Cutter There are always enough elves to tell a story I heard Black Library authors say. Also massive sexnasiums.

[@TheJarric]

using human females as surrogate mothers ?

[@cronicasdeltiempo7540]

Not possible in Warhammer. There as never been one Half-elf. Not even one passing mention in all of the lore of a Half-elf or some weird birth between elf and human. Most likely because in Warhammer elves an humans look the same but that's about it. They are completely different in every other way.

Indeed. I never went that route, but this was due to a lack of DLC rather than attachment to the older faiths. Still managed to turn every new reign into a series of assassinations and plots as jealous family tried to take my throne.

I remember when we played head to head with friend, i went full slaver mode with Dark elves. Eventually, Naggaroth was filled with slaves so much, that the whole region made 20 000 money, 10 000 from city itself. Still have the screenshot. Slavery may be bad, but damn, its makes a good money!

[@principetnomusic]

Dwarf-things, elf-things, it matters not. Skavenblight shall bring down you both-both.

[@CrimsonUltrafox]

Malekith honestly deserved the phoenix throne back when he was a good guy. He established good relationships with the dwarves. He was also a great warrior, sorcerer, and politician. Not only that, but he genuinely cared about living up to his father's name and protecting the elves. He would have made a great phoenix king if those pompous Asur princes would have chosen him over that weak phony, Bel'shanaar. I think he would have turned against Morathi way sooner and stayed "good" had the Asur shown him proper loyalty.

[@AeneasGemini]

Sounds like we've found our Dark Elf player! But no, in the first place Aenarion's curse would've gotten him eventually, also given his arrogance and ego it's inevitable that Slaanesh would've had his hands on him sooner or later (especially with his mother whispering in his ear). Also please, almost no boy turns against his mother, if Aenarion the Defender couldn't resist her influence neither would Malekith. The very fact that you mention 'proper loyalty' shows that you don't know that true loyalty is earned, not owed, typical Druchii arrogance. Furthermore, the monster he became hardly supports the idea that he could ever have been a 'good' ruler. Over the long term it's pretty inevitable that he'd have been a psycho either way

[@danenagai1157]

Don't forget, he was turned away because he would've ended up marrying his half-sister. And you know what happens when it comes to royal inbreeding. About everyone in the family is gonna end up looking like the Habsburgs.

[@razorflossrazor2937]

MrMortull the fuck!!?? Can I get some context?

[@MrMortull]

Turns out the Gods were just having a giggle when they burned Malekith so he actually WAS the Pheonix King all along. Some other shit happened, but who even cares at that point?

[@mella4376]

Basically some people at GW got drunk and wrote the End Times books with the aim of rebooting the WH universe. By the time they finished the first one some of them were still conscious, as a result that one is almost passable, while the following 4 are such utter garbage that there were many instances of literary critics and lore masters gouging their eyes out after reading those.

[@zvonkofonko2673]

While I do agree with Malekith and that it was he and not Bel-Shanaar who was the rightful heir, I don't agree with anything he has done since. Instead of proving that you are a true leader and heir of Aenarion, what does he do? He goes in a full emo rage and goes to torture innocents. /facepalm (a rather tragic character though - I enjoyed "Malekith" novel very much even if I do find Caledor much better and much more relatable) I'll also agree with Lilin that it was just a quick sucker punch against the established lore. Age of Sigmar… /meh
