![]() ![]() So, naturally, when I saw this book, realized it was all about Aenarion’s descendants and promised to reveal, at least, a sliver of lore about the legendary Phoenix King, I had to read it.īlood starts things off with a mesmerizing tale of Aenarion’s final battle. ![]() But few of them are as interesting or as ill-fated as Aenarion, the first Phoenix King of the Elves the warrior who braves death by godly flames and the Curse of Khaine (when he draws the vile sword of the God of War and Murder) not for personal glory but to obtain the power to defend his people from the endless hordes of Chaos. Every Warhammer fan has their personal favorite. The best part of these sugar-coated fantasy stories are the characters. And Warhammer novels are tailor made for these moments. Books where the exploits of legendary figures are chronicled, as they stride across a world, meting out death and destruction to their enemies, even while they carry around their own personal crosses upon their back. You know, tales of action, adventure, and intrigue with vile villains and jaded heroes. Sometimes, I find myself craving pure old-fashioned sword and sorcery escapism. When the Witch King Malekith learns of the twins' existence their lives are imperilled and they are taken to Lothern for their protection and to learn the arts of war. They come from the line of Aenarion, the first king of Ulthuan and cursed champion of that magical island. Wise councillor of the high elves, Teclis was amongst those who first taught magic to the race of men and gave them the means to defend themselves against Chaos.įrom their humble origin in the wild lands of Chrace, Tyrion and Teclis were meant for a great destiny. The greatest natural sorcerer of the age, his power rivals that of fabled Caledor. Champion of the Everqueen, he is Ulthuan's greatest protector. He inspires courage and loyalty in those around him. Tyrion is an unparalleled swordsman, a superlative warrior and tactician from birth. They are as different to one another as darkness and light. The twins Tyrion and Teclis are the greatest high elf heroes still to walk the earth.
