Editing Mengil Manhide's Manflayers (section)

===First Edition lore===
The first edition lore was a bit scant. During the spring of his last year, a forest-dwelling Dark Elf leader named Kraal the Hearteater - an elf version of Charles Manson - gathered all the young men of his immediate family. Spells were cast, sacrifices were made, and these elves were initiated into the family cult. At the completion of the ceremony, Kraal carried out a family tradition: expelling the newly initiated men from the forest and forbidding them from returning until each had slain a human warrior or died in the attempt.

Mengil, Kraal's son, quickly acclimatized to his new social role despite never having left his forested home before. He found a huge Norse champion, killed him, skinned him, and fashioned the skin into a cloak. Mengil found that he liked the marauding life so much that he decided against returning to his father's people and set out on a life of banditry and mayhem. 

He founded a company of Dark Elves and modelled their style after his, establishing both the dress code of flayed skin over armor for of his followers and giving himself a new name - Mengil Manhide. The company was further strengthened when Mengil joined forces with the Dark Elf renegade Champion, Ean Hawkbane, who had a large trained owl which served both in combat and as a scout.
