Editing Malekith (section)

==Age of Sigmar==
[[File:Malekiths OC Fursona.png|thumb|right|400px|Malekith's Age of Sigmar [[Furry|fursona]] self.]]
Malekith returned and set himself up as the god Malerion, presiding over deceit and shadows. It was originally believed by many that based on his canon appearance as seen to the right it appeared as if he had fused with Seraphon (no, not those [[Lizardmen|Seraphon]]); it turns out he just sort of looks like a dragonman because that almost certainly being because it justifies a new $100+ plastic kit to replace his dated metal one.

===Age of Myth=== 

Malerion arrived in Ulgu as a living, godly shadow. Mad about his formless state, he literally raged hard enough to give himself a physical body briefly, and from there practiced and eventually mastered his powers. As a result, Malerion has the ability to shapeshift, usually appearing as either a fearsome elf clad in iron and shadow tendrils or a dragonman. After figuring out how to gain and keep physical form, he explored Ulgu. It's implied during this time that Malekith kicked Be'lakor out of Ulgu.

It's important to note that his older half-brother, the line from which Tyrion and Teclis sire from, was named Morelion in the previous universe, and his father's name was Aenarion, possibly meaning there's meant to be [[Meme|pottery]] regarding him being on the side of Order. 

He found his mother Morathi in the company of shadow daemons. He still had many issues with her, and the feeling was mutual, but they called a truce out of loneliness. Eventually they met Sigmar and agreed to join his Pantheon. THis gave him the opportunity to search all the Mortal Realms for aelves. While heartened by meeting the few mortal Aelves he found, Malerion knew they were far too few for the sheer number of Aelven souls that once lived upon the World That Was. The Shadow king became determined to learn what had become of his people.

His quest eventually led him to the underworlds of Shyish and later to the other Aelven deities - the Twin Gods of Hysh Tyrion and Teclis. Tyrion and Teclis, especially Tyrion, had been archrivals to Malerion in the World That Was, and had since become beings so anathema to one another they couldn't enter the other's Realm in the new creation. But both heard the cries of the many tortured souls of ancient Elves - now Aelves yet to be born - devoured by the Chaos God Slaanesh during the End Times and the destruction of the World That Was. This led to the most unlikely of partnerships.

Together the three Aelven gods (and Morathi) discovered Uhl-Ghysh, the sub-realm between Ulgu and Hysh that was both light and darkness in which they could meet as allies and plot their vengeance against Slaanesh.

Throughout the Age of Myth, Malerion gave every appearance of labouring for Sigmar's Pantheon, though little he did was entirely altruistic. He crafted the Gladitorium, his greatest gift to the God-King, an arena of such awesome illusory power that warriors could fight to the death within and yet come to no harm, emerging unhurt after. Unbeknownst to Sigmar, Malerion could gaze into the Gladitorium at will, studying the stratagems of Sigmar's finest champions against the day they were (inevitably) sent against him. Uncommon among Age of Sigmar's gods, Malerion actually has specific commandments for his worshippers, with only four known ones so far;

* Give deference to shadows, for there walks Malerion.
* Knowledge is power. Seek it, keep it, but most importantly, use it.
* The deadliest blow is that which strikes unseen.
* There are many gods in the Mortal Realms, but only one King in the Shadow.

He also tutored those Azyrian Aelves who showed promise in shadow magic and brought them with him to Uhl-Ghysh. With Teclis' aid Malerion constructed a paradoxical engine of light and shadow, his contribution to the great plot that would lure Slaanesh, devourer of the Aelves of old, to Uhl-Ghysh and trap him in formless chains.

===Age of Chaos===

During the Age of Chaos, he, [[Tyrion]] and [[Teclis]] made a veil that kept Azyrheim invisible to Tzeentch. Then he left and imprisoned Slaanesh when he/she/it/hermaphrodite was over-gorged with the souls that died during the End Times. Using themselves as bait, they trapped Slaanesh and slowly extricated the souls he's eaten, apparently using a magic ritual made with Morathi’s information on what it’s like being murder-fucked in Slaanesh’s belly, with the Elves becoming Aelves.

While Teclis made the Lumineth and shared them with Tyrion (after accidentally making the [[Idoneth Deepkin]] - whom pretty much take the role of Dark Elves for the moment [[Dark Eldar|with a few features from the other space elves]]) and Morathi made the Daughters of Khaine, Malerion made a dark version of the Lumineth (called Umbraneth according to a GW leak). Oddly, some fluff implies that the souls are sourced from both Fantasy and 40k. Somehow. Sort of like finding out your orange juice is made using oranges from both Brazil and the USA, except with more [[grimdark]].

He was the only known person to defeat Archaon in battle. Seeing as Archaon managed to beat Nagash, the implication is that he's one of the most powerful gods and/or the Realms of Shadows gave him some dirty tricks.

===Age of Sigmar===

In the Age of Sigmar he mostly kept himself isolated from the other factions and rarely if ever sends aid to any of the former pantheon. He still keeps a tight grip on his own realm by keeping a close eye on Ulgu's various rulers and as always is involved in various schemes and feuds with his mother. So basically its still business as usual with them.

Prior to the Necroquake, he and his mother conspired to safeguard their own realm and territories from Nagash's necroquake, with no intention of giving any real aid to the other realms. They even considered how to leverage the events to come to their advantage against the other gods. Malerion especially dislikes Sigmar - whom he looks down upon as a barbarian upstart, and Nagash - who he considers a monster and a mad dog. It's also revealed that Malerion had two ulterior motives for giving Sigmar that Colosseum; he can feel - and enjoys - the suffering of the Stormcast and to secretly spy on Sigmar's greatest warriors so he can learn their strengths and abilities for the (in his mind anyway) inevitable day that he and Sigmar war against each other. And given their past, and Malerion being Malerion, had the Age of Chaos not occurred they probably would have gone to war sooner or later. Recently, he and the other gods were warned by Morathi that she foresaw Slaanesh escaping in the future, however. Malerion did not seem worried and laughed at her and left. Currently, as always nobody knows what he is up to and he still hasn't made any major pushes outside his own realm.....yet.

So overall he is shown to be less overtly evil like the chaos gods but more (much like his mother) an amoral opportunist who has little interest in alliances and diplomacy. Though overall he is still portrayed as less overtly malicious as he was in the world-that-was and did at least contribute when it interested him in building up civilizations during the Age of Myth.

===Broken Realms===

Malerion pays his mom a visit sometime after she conquered Anvilguard and renamed it Har Kuron. He congratulates her ascension to godhood...before immediately calling her a greedy, short-sighted slut. Morathi promptly takes this in stride by cutting off one of his fingers and telling him he can't talk to her like that anymore. Malerion puts on a stern face and points out that on the contrary, he has every right to talk to her like this because Sigmar's now gunning for her and has been having his Stormcast train against magical copies of her daughters of Khaine. He also points out her actions have weakened Slaanesh's bonds, and all this is threatening their long term plans.

Morathi waves him off saying Sigmar would rather have one of his cities fall to someone who will at least keep the place standing as she will and has plans to stop him if he doesn't. Though Morathi considers the rise of Alarielle and the forces of Life now that the Necroquake is receding (thanks to Nagash getting his ass kicked by Teclis) a more pressing issue.

She also drops the lore bomb that Tyrion and Malerion have been itching towards war against each other, as an emboldened Tyrion's forces have begun to prod at his borders and have been trying to make a stable path into Ulgu from the ruins of the chasm city of Cathartia in Hysh. Malerion responded that he had his own agents working on the matter both by undermining the twins from within their own forces and by collecting certain objects from places like Shyish to serve as bargaining chips for him, holding up the severed head of an Alarith mountain spirit as an example. Upon hearing of his plans, Morathi is actually somewhat impressed and even manages to feel the embers of affection for her son that she thought were long extinguished even calling him her "little magpie" but moments after saying this she cuts the meeting short, which Malerion knows is due to her having to put down a revolt.
