I still like the irony of Malekith being the chosen one, but him chicken out cost him and the elf dearly, yet at the end he is still the better choice. The multi layered of irony and tragedy made that revealation so endearing to me.

I think if I could turn back time, I would keep that part and fix the whole "curse the Phoenix Kings" thing. Bel Shanaar was meant to teach Malekith humble, and that one must know how to serve before he rule. But Malekith rush the whole thing and lead to the Elf Civil War. All the other Phoenix Kings that follow still walk the fire, and Asuryan still accept them while disprove of Malekith.

Fast forward and Finubar is still killed by Teclis backstabbing (he will put up a good fight tho). My explanation of why Asuryan put Malekith over Tyrion then would be the same way it was shown when Tyrion HAD drawn the Widowmaker: Tyrion will only lead the High Elf, but Malekith prize himself as the king of all Elven kind.

However, to hammer that home, I would make a test before the shrine of Khaine, where instead of all sort of people was there, only Tyrion and Malekith was thrown before the Widowmaker on opposite side, a mist made by Lileath prevent them from seeing each other as well as the battle around them.

Both would be convinced by Ladrielle that they had finally lost once and for all, with no hope of ever coming back from this "defeat". She would fake giving them a choice to be saved by her, and both will refuse, of course.

The true result was that while Malekith hold his head up high and walk toward the shrine of Asuryan welcoming his death, for without any chance of becoming king, he might as well end the war with as little death as possible, Tyrion would drawn the Widowmaker and attack Malekith because to Tyrion, his hatred was so deep he would kill even more elf to get a jab at his enemy despite that doesnt change anything in the grand of thing.

This test made by Lileath would convince Asuryan that out of the two, Malekith would be the better candidate to receive his final blessing for the Eternity King. Of course, Malekith himself would express that Lileath push the balance toward his side, due to the mental state Tyrion was in compare to Malekith.
