In this episode we look at three of the greatest of Ulthuan’s heroes. We start with Eltharion the Grim, Prince of Yvresse, he who finally brought about the defeat of Waaagh! Grom and who holds two destinies and two miniatures. We then turn to the twin princes Teclis, High Loremaster of Hoeth and Warden of the White Tower, and Tyrion, Defender of Ulthuan, the greatest living High Elven warrior of this age, perhaps even Aenarion reborn.

In this episode we look at the three most recent Phoenix Kings; Morvael the Impetuous, Bel-Hathor the Sage and Finubar the Seafarer. We explore the implications of Ulthuan looking outward once more and the drastic increase in trade and exploration with the opening of Lothern to humanity under Bel-Hathor. We follow Finubar as he travels the world making alliances with those he sees and beneficial to Ulthuan and whatever future it can now forge for itself. We compare Finubar with Malekith and that dark soul’s own period of exploration at the dawn of Ulthuan. We close out the episode with a  look at the current state of the High Elves and their place in the world.

In this episode we start with the great Scouring of the Dark Elves by the Phoenix King Tethlis and his descent into bloodlust and scorched earth tactics. This is followed by a dissection of the reign of Bel-Korhadris who with the creation of both the White Tower and the Great Hunt shaped the culture and society of Ulthuan, perhaps more than any other king, into what it is today. We define their relationship to the winds of magic and what makes their mages so powerful. We look at the reign of the artist king Aethis who beautified Ulthuan to an extreme degree and neglected all else allowing the Cults of excess to resurge.

In this episode we follow the deceitful plans of Malekith and this cadre of assassins as they attempt to seize power on Ulthuan. We see how they are opposed at every turn by the mighty phoenix king Caledor the First and ultimately the very mages who created the Great Vortex. The resulting sundering destroys 20% of Ulthuan and gives birth to the Dark Elves. Malekith’s evil machinations continue with the instigation of the War of the Beard resulting in both the death of Caledor the Second but also the loss of the Phoenix crown. Finally we look at the Exodus, the great migration of most elves back the safety and protection of Ulthuan, that tangentially gave birth to the wood Elves of Athel Loren.
