REGIMENTS OF RENOWN
Mengil Manhides Dark Elves
During the spring of his last year, Kraal the Hearteater gathered about him all the young men and women of his immediate family. Spells were cast, bloody sacrifices were made and, at last, the young Dark Elves were initiated into the family cult. At the completion of the ceremony Kraal banished all of his kin, expelled them from the forest and forbade them to return until each had slain a human warrior. Such was the way of the Dark Elves of Kraal's family Mengil, son of old Kraal, had never before strayed from the dark leafy confines of his forest home. He soon acclimatised to his new social role, however, and discovered that he liked the marauding life so much that he decided against returning to his fathers people. Instead he set out on a career of banditry and mayhem.
His first victim was a huge Norse Champion, whose skin Mengil fashioned into a cloak, establishing both the mode of dress of his followers and his full name - Mengil Manhide. The company of Dark Elves was further strengthed when Mengil joined forces with the Dark Elf renagade Ean Hawkbane whose distinctive feature was the large trained owl which accompanied him in combat.
