Malekith vs Tyrion

The Dark Elven Witch King of Naggaroth Malerion mounted atop the Black Dragon Seraphon battling the hated High Elves led by High Elf Prince Tyrion.

Seraphon is the terrifying Black Dragon that the Witch King of Naggaroth Malerion, lord of the Dark Elves, rides to battle upon.[1a]

History[]

After a band of Dark Elven Shades discovered a clutch of unguarded Black Dragon eggs deep within the Spiteful Peaks mountain range, the Witch King Malerion ordered that the eggs be brought back to Naggarond. There they were ritually tended by the priestesses of Khaine for almost a century until they hatched. The Black Dragon Seraphon was the first to emerge and before the Witch Elves could stop him, he had destroyed many of the other eggs.[1a]

Malerion was impressed by the Dragon's ruthless instincts and decided that he would take the Black Dragon as his own mount. The few remaining Black Dragon hatchlings were all given to Malerion's most favoured generals, the Dreadlords.

These Druchii nobles had spent many decades training to fight with these monstrous beasts in preparation for the Witch King's next assault on Ulthuan. Now Malerion feels the time is right for his people to wage war once again. The Witch King and Seraphon will fight at the fore of a highly trained flight of Black Dragons, whose surprise attacks will ravage the shores of the Old World and the High Elven cities of hated Ulthuan.[1a]
