Wehn Bel-Shanaar was chosen to rule in his stead and Malekith began a long campaign that has lasted for five thousand years. He grew to be a mighty warrior, a great sorcerer and a brilliant general, but was shunned by his folk when Aenarion was slain.
Malekith is the son of Morathi and Aenarion. Players choosing the Dark Elves will be able to select from the following Legendary Lords with which to lead their Grand Campaign. They are, for the most part, dark-haired and sinister, and their bleak stares convey nothing but contempt. For the Dark Elves, a cold beauty masks the natural attractiveness of their race and a scowl or sneer often mars the pale skin of their elegant faces. Their eyes are large and oval, containing a disturbing, otherworldly wisdom that unnerves other creatures. They are long-limbed and graceful, with slim, adept fingers.
All Elves are taller than humans and of a slender but strong build. They take whatever they want and will gladly risk their lives for the promise of glory, power and riches.
The Dark Elves are voracious raiders who ply their bloody trade across the length and breadth of the world.
