The Great Northern Wall

 


The Great Northern Wall is a seemingly endless series of mutually supporting strongpoints and shield walls that guard the northern reaches of Naggaroth. The fortifications cunningly use the rugged terrain to maximum effect, augmenting the already formidable natural obstacles. Countless tunnels and subterranean chambers are part of the defensive complex. Millions of slaves toil without rest to build the walls ever higher and the redoubts stronger. The Wall is manned by legions of elves, the fearless and ever-vigilant men and women of Malekith's great domain.

Should the Wall fall to Chaos, it will herald the end not only of Naggaroth but of Ulthuan and indeed the rest of the world. Without the Wall, the Darkness in the North will spill across all the lands and swallow up every living thing, from the greatest dragon to the tiniest gnat and staw of grass. All of Malekith's subjects know this and it is for this reason alone they serve with unflinching devolution and unbreakable zeal.

Thus it is in the "dark" elves of Naggaroth that the kingdoms of men owe thanks, not their petty mortal rulers and false idols...
