A mist of dreadful power swept across the High Elves' beautiful land, summoning forth Daemons and other foul things from the very bowels of Chaos itself. īut even within the lands of Malekith's birth, the island-continent of Ulthuan was engulfed in a time of peril and tragedy. Yet for all their pride and glamour they inevitably failed, for their king, Malekith, abandoned them to enact one final gamble to reclaim his birthright as Phoenix King of Ulthuan. In response, legions of Dark Elven warriors were roused to the warpath, holding out against the blood-crazed hordes that assailed their very gates. To the west, in the distant lands of Naggaroth, the followers of Khorne descended southwards with black banners high, hell-bent on leaving nothing but ruin and destruction in their wake. As the world endured its final, agonising demise, the mortal races of the Old World fought to the very last against the encroaching darkness which sought to consume them all. The comet's coming signalled the coronation of the thirteenth and final Everchosen of Chaos Undivided: Archaon - called the "Three-Eyed King," the "Lord of the End Times," and the "Herald of the Apocalypse" - and his bid to bring destruction upon the Human realms of the Old World. It was heralded by the arrival of the Twin-Tailed Comet, both an omen of hope and one of destruction. Birth of the Mortal Realms The End Times (2519-2528 IC) was the great cataclysmic apocalypse that had been long predicted to bring about the end of the Known World.
