Editing Eltharion (section)

===[[End Times]]===
In the End Times event, Eltharion was a major character, when he was chosen to lead the forces of Ulthuan against [[Nagash]]'s forces in an attempt to save [[Everqueen|Aliathra]] since Tyrion was needed to defend Ulthuan from surprise Slaanesh buttsex. Despite being grim and suspicious as ever, he tried to be considerate to his non-elven allies at Eldyra's and Belannar's request. In the battle he proved he was more skilled at leading an army and nearly as skilled in combat as Tyrion, kicking Mannfred's ass being his most notable accomplishment (and that's without the help of his griffon, Stormfang, who was killed by Mannfred when the filthy vampire tried to cheat and use magic). He broke through the magical barrier around [[Arkhan the Black|Arkhan's]] Nagash-summoning ritual with his Fangsword, destroying the sword in the process.

Even without it, he was still a powerful elven warrior with a gem that made him a level 2 wizard. But Arkhan was a level 4.5 wizard, so Eltharion grabbed Arkhan and slammed him against the cauldron's edge to try and break his neck. Badass as it is, taking on a lich with only one's bare hands is not the wisest idea. Arkhan grabbed Eltharion's wrist and used his Curse of Years spell to Thanos-Snap Eltarion.

Fuck.

Since Arkhan and Nagash either couldn't or wouldn't claim Eltharion's soul, his ghost was able to give his niece and nephew his necklace and (fully restored) sword some years after the bone daddy's resurrection. This would be a good "Take up my sword" scene, but both of them <strike>worfed</strike> were unceremoniously murdered by [[Malekith]] and his right-hand minion Kouran during the Elven civil war only two books later because both of them disliked the idea of a Druchii being Phoenix King.

Many old-time High Elf players were offended and horrified at the completely shitty end to one of the original Warhammer Fantasy major characters. Most of them didn't blame Eltharion's killer Arkhan (who's another original Warhammer Fantasy character despite being added to the setting one year after Eltharion), but the writers.
