Malekith — Gav Thorpe

FAR TO THE west of the Old World lies the fabled land of Ulthuan, island home of the elves. Thousands of years ago, when men were but fur-clad savages, elf civilisation flourished; they were truly masters of the world. But even at the peak of its glory, a seed of corruption gnawed at the roots of elf society; Chaos had cast its shadow over Ulthuan. The elves would be plunged into a bitter and bloody civil war that would tear their nation apart, and ruin the very land they trod on: a time known as the Sundering.

When Malekith son of Aenarion is passed over to succeed as king, he is wracked by jealousy and bitterness. He plots his revenge, triggering a tragic sequence of events that will doom the elves forever.
