Warhammer Fantasy Lore - The Dark Elves: Origins, Sundering & Army - Total War Warhammer 2

Let’s hit 5000 Subscribers, click here ☛ bit.ly/KZbinBOC The history of the Dark Elves is one of betrayal and vengeance. Making this episode was exciting and challenging as I had to narrow the lore into an easily understandable and digestible episode. The Dark Elves history is convulted and of course, it shares similarities with the High Elves, at least on the beginning. So figuring out how to include their history, aspects of their society and army into a single episode was, for the most part, the biggest challenge for this one. Hope you guys enjoyed the final result!
This is a lore overview episode. We will go into more details on important characters and events of the Dark Elves in future episodes.
This is the third lore video we have done about a Warhammer Fantasy race.
We have already covered The Dwarfs and Orcs & Goblins races. With time and the support of fellow Warhammer Fantasy fans, my plan is to cover all Warhammer Fantasy races, at least the mayor ones and then dig deeper into other minor factions and aspects of the Warhammer universe.
I hope you enjoyed this episode as much as I did. Your feedback is always more than welcome. See you on the next one!

The Sundering Trilogy would have likely helped you here. Malekith poisoned Bel Shanaar not at the shrine but back at Tor Anroc. It also took years for his armour to be forged by Hotek, and Morathi commanded the Druchii during that time. Malekith took command relatively late in the civil war. Just some points I thought you might like to know.

Great video! I don't quite understand Malekith's betrayal though. He wanted to get rid of Naggarythe and its pleasure cults, so he... joined them?

[@TheBookofChoyer]

Thanks for asking! Malekith always thought he was the rightful Phoenix King. During his travels in the rest of the world, he found an ancient artifact called the Circlet of Iron. "It awoke in him a dark curiosity, and from that day forth Malekith turned his will to studying the forbidden depths of magic - the power of Chaos itself." Perhaps that´s when his desire/ambition for the throne reemerged and finally acted upon it, leading to his betrayal.

[@bambi1331]

Thanks for the response. I still don't quite get it though. One minute, he wants to seize the throne in order to take down the pleasure cults. Next minute, he's allied to them. What happened to him, that he made such a drastic and sudden u turn regarding his choice of allies?

Malekith: *screams in agony and sizzles* Morathi: Let me grab the salt...I meant armour.

[@Taiko206]

I discovered a minor error within the story as it's presented here. It was'nt Caledor Dragontamer the mage who fought Malekith after Bel-Shanaars death, because he was locked inside the vortex he created. The Caledor that actually fought Malekith was the one originally called Imrik, and he was was a decendant of Caledor Dragontamer, and he took his ancestors' name to honour him when he ascended to become Phoenix King. He was called the Warrior because he was more of a soldier and lacking in his ancestors' gift of magic. For reference to his deeds and character please look to the 2nd part of the Sundering trilogy, witch is also called "Caledor". I must say though that i understand the confusion in this, especially since there's also a third Caledor, wich was Caledor the Warriors' son and heir and who fought the Dwarves in the war of Vengeance wich happend a while after the Sundering

few thing to know. Aenarion was against the vortex because it also reduced the power of the magical weapons used to fight the deamons. If the spell didn't work they would be helpless. Bel'shanaar was chosen over Malekith without any of the Naggarothi princes knowing. It was a dick move. Malekith poisoned Bel'shanaar in Tiranoc. Caledor wasn't a mage. He was a dragon rider from.... Caledor. His original name was Imrik and he was a grandson to Caldedor dragontamer. The spell was only deflected because the leader of Saphery, at the time, went into the vortex and awakend Caledor from his paralysis. One fun last thing to note. The dwarfs weren't aware at all that the sundering happend. The elves kept it a secret.

After his first family was killed, in desparation and grief, Anarion took up the sword of Khaine. Even the spirit of his deceased wife begged him not to do it. Anarion's second wife was Morathi and she born him a new son: Malakeith. As the family of the one who dared to draw the Sword of the Bloody Handed War God Kala Mensha Khaine, they were fully corrupted by the curse.

The high elves betrayed nagarythe for honorably following Aenaerion even when he drew the sword of khaine?! To me That alone is a mark of loyalty... Then they followed malekith even when his right to kingship was denied they followed the true king. Then when he decided to take his right they followed him through it and when he decided to live in a frozen wasteland they still followed him. The druchi are the most weirdly loyal race/kingdom ever while the asur seems to be the biggest assholes ever.

[@ignacio4159]

Right... Now read the high elves side of things. Three main factors contributed to the princes not choosing Malekith: 1- If Malekith was chosen the next Phoenix king he would have to have a child with the Everqueen, who was the daughter Aenarion had with the previous Everqueen, she was therefore his half sister. The child of both if it was a girl would probably become the next everqueen, this creeped the princes and so they wanted to avoid setting a precedent for a hereditary monarchy with the blood lines of the Phoenix king and the everqueen degenerating over time through endogamy. 2- Malekith popularity was based on him being like his father, who was Aenarion? Although undeniably the greatest hero the elves have ever had he was the epitome of tragedy because he fell to Khaine's bloodlust in his seek for revenge, cursing all his bloodline... And malekith was like his father, the princes feared he would fall to the madness of khaine (and he eventually did). They also wanted to rebuild in times of peace and malekith was not the leader for this job. 3-Morathi was despised outside Nagarythe already, many already viewed her as a tyrannical woman who wanted more and more power. Malekith although the son of the greatest elf hero was also her son, and she was hated especially in Caledor. 4-Malekith became the second most important person in all ulthuan after bel shanaar, he was respected and admired by everyone. What did he end up doing? Try to claim the throne with a coup d'etat, framing for years innocent elves who were his political rivals with involvement in the pleasure cults to execute them, while allying with the pleasure cults his mother created to claim the thrones, only he got burned to a crisp like the bitch he was because he was unworthy. Malekith only has himself to blame he became a monster and he knows it.

[@datuputi777]

@@ignacio4159 And that makes the druchi less loyal? Evil leader doesn't change the fact that the druchi were extremely loyal and willing to uphold old oaths the same could not be said to the asur.. Elves live long lives so malekith could have skipped fucking the ever queen if people are that disgusted with the idea. The nobility of ulthuan could have crowned him Phoenix king for a while just for the sake of honor(war of the beards could have been avoided by sating the insanity of malekith) then hand it over to whoever next time the group goes for a fun time with the ever queen :p (slutty ass bish the everqueen crap made me more disgusted of helf).

Hey General! 😃 That's the goal. I'm planning on doing Karak Eight Peaks on december. I Don't have a date set yet as I have to dig a bit deeper and see how I can approach that one but i'd say it's 90% sure we are doing it🔥

[@joshuapusz8276]

The Book of Choyer All right that's pretty cool! Also I have a question, would you possibly be willing to talk with me and a few others over Discord to discuss a proposition?

[@TheBookofChoyer]

@@joshuapusz8276 Sure I'd love to! 🙂 Can you please send me an email at [e-mail] so we can further discuss the matter and get into Discord. ?

Canybody link me to the backgroud music track? One at the begining. Aslo would be nice if all the tracks used were lisited in description.

My only problem with the video is that Calador was not a mage, other than that great video!!!!

[@TheBookofChoyer]

He was not!? Can you please elaborate on that so I don´t make the same mistake again :) ?

[@georgesoha4725]

@The Book of Choyer. In book three of the Sundering Trilogy their is an elf from Calador named Imrik. He is the descendent of Calador Dragon Tamer (The mage who created the Vortex). When civil war breaks out in Ulthuan Imrik is elected by the other princes to assume the mantel of Phoenix king, this causes him to take the name Calador. Though not a mage, Imrik was a badass dragon prince. But really the video was great, that was just my own little nerdy nitpick :)

@@georgesoha4725 I appreciate it! Brings light to new info not reflected in the video! 🔥

So, Malekith is basically Darth Vader?

[@boratokel9301]

@04:57 “Magalord”?

[@ravandilgrayleaf8530]

They truly flex

[@jeova0sanctus0unus]

Because a Magical Attack on Calador Fucking Dragontamer sounds like a good idea.

Do vampire counts!

[@RedKytten]

As (mainly) a dark elf player, I loved when I discovered that they are Canadians! For far too long we have had a kind and loving reputation!

[@Polex411]

but are the dark elves considered and Order faction or chaos?
