The first few levies fared badly against the vicious and battle-hardened warriors of Naggaroth, but their presence ensured that Griffon Gate was always defended over the next thirteen years. He was using his magic to visit nightmares upon the Phoenix King, testing his sanity with visions of Ulthuan engulfed in flames and Morvael’s family lanced upon spikes amidst the ruins of the White Tower of Hoeth.
The High Elves had burnt their own lands and seen their people slaughtered in the fight against the Dark Elves, and they had no more stomach for battle.

Summoning Morathi and his closest councillors to his side, the Witch King swept from his throne room and into the storm-wracked night. Morathi nursed her son for a year, pouring all of her vile magic and malice into his soul to revive him. Most of the ships survived the battering wind and waves, but the fleet was scattered and Caledor’s vessel was sent far off course.

When Malekith discovered that his mother was the chief architect of the cults, he renounced her and ordered that she be imprisoned upon her capture, along with thousands of her misguided disciples. Even the stones from which it was built were melted or ground down so that no trace of Anlec remained to stain the lands of Ulthuan. Sensing that this cauldron of dissent might prove rebellious in future years, Malekith at first thought to crush the dissidents and punish them for their insubordination. Caledor II was dead, slain by High King Gotrek Starbreaker. Malekith looked upon Ulthuan with eager eyes and saw that it was weak and vulnerable. Malerion, called the Shadow King, is the Incarnate god of shadow, deception and illusion in the Mortal Realms and one of the gods of the Aelven people. For his part, Malekith knew his armies were broken, their fighting spirit spent upon a thousand fields of battle, and the Dark Elves returned to Naggaroth to rebuild their strength.Exhausted by centuries of war, both the High Elves and Dark Elves had spent the last of their strength during the Scouring. For all of Tethlis’ cold fury, the Dark Elves had retained a foothold on Ulthuan and the Blighted Isle.Despite the best efforts of Malekith’s assassins to hasten his demise, Caradryel reigned for just over six centuries, during which Malekith continually tested the defences of Ulthuan. Malekith said that Bel Shanaar had taken the coward’s route rather than be brought forth before the princes, and had poisoned himself before he could be rightfully tried. The last three, one-by-one, also drank, forced to prove their worth by the boldness of their peers. As prince of Ulthuan, Malekith became a skilled warrior and general much like his father and a powerful mage, thanks to his mother’s teachings. He named this place Naggarond, the City of Winter, and its dark spires started to tower higher and higher over the growing pirate port that nestled in its black shadow.With his capital established, Malekith turned his attention back to Ulthuan. Hidden from the eyes and spells of the High Elves, a cabal of Assassins lay in ambush around the Shrine of Khaine. The Dark Elves found other entrances and built fortified gates from which to launch expeditions and guard against monsters rampaging into their lands.To the east, a group of Dark Elves founded the city of Clar Karond, linked to Naggarond and Hag Graef by underground tunnels. There, he was trained in dark magic and Hotek, renegade prince of Vaul, forged him a suit of black armor that gave Malekith’s withered and burned body strength. Yet for all the power of Chaos unleashed by the sorcerers, they could not prevail and were forced to flee Saphery and seek refuge in Nagarythe and the kingdoms its armies now occupied.There was betrayal all across Ulthuan. These were the Black Arks and they grounded on the northern part of the New World. Naggarothi forces occupied these kingdoms. To their minds, failure was incomprehensible; to live in exile and obscurity was unthinkable for the Witch King. He tutored those Azyrian Aelves who showed promise in shadow magic and brought them with him to Uhl-Ghysh.
