Okay thats a great explanation. That does seem like a smart way to make it lore friendly and what not. Whats the story about Teclis exactly? Why is he way out there unlike Tyrion. By the way I find Tyrion the most underwhelming LL in the game. For melee lords I feel like they need some iconic mount to make them interesting. Outside Kholek of course.
Teclis has for a long time been interested in helping the outside world, while Tyrion is like most elves and only cares about themselves. Teclis taught the Empire magic the last time Chaos invaded ~200 years ago. before, they had magic but had no formal school on it and it was a lot more dangerous/uncontrolled.
Not sure how much the game explains it but the two are twins, but incredibly different. They come from the line of Aenarion who was the first Phoenix King and uniter of elven kind against the original daemon invasion. Aenarion is/was also the father of Malekith and husband of Morathi, who seduced him. He drew a forbidden weapon, Widowmaker, which is one of their god's Khaine weapon, and it cursed his blood line and Aenarion. the widowmaker is housed up on that northern island of Ulthuan that has a shrine to khaine. didn't help that Morathi was whispering dark stuff in his ear, this was all before the elves divided up, at the time they were all "good". so technically Malekith and the twin are related which is why you will sometimes hear Malekith call them cousins.
Teclis is a frail, dark haired elf, who needs magical potions and items to function, but incredibly powerful in magic, the strongest elf alive. He is generally dark and brooding.
Tyrion is almost the complete opposite, tall, strong, physically blessed, one of the best swordsmen alive, banging the Everqueen which comes with some perks besides the obvious. he is generally more pleasant to be around but he doesn't put up with court politics, but Tyrion does stay involved with the powers that be in Ulthuan. In the lore Tyrion is head of "League of Champions" type of thing, who just want to do the dirty work of fighting. most of them have awesome/better back stories. see the bottom.
both are true defenders of Ulthuan, Tyrion takes that literally, Teclis sees that as a wider calling, knowing that if the rest of the world falls the elves will soon join them. so he travels and does good deeds, and generally works to keep the vortex stable, it has waystones and other anchors all over the world. he also just generally combats anything chaosy but he isn't afraid to get his hands dirty a little with information. In some of the lore he goes around and cleanses areas/items of chaos which is dangerous, and unlikely to work, but he is powerful enough and knowledgeable enough to pull it off.
so the "league of champions" or whatever it is called is a group of elven warriors who aren't interested in the politics, they have just seen the evil and want to get to fighting.
The biggest ones are
Imrik, the Prince of Caledor, basically the King of the Dragon Princes. He flies around on a dragon and has a couple cool items, and he has a trait that other dragons or large wryms won't fight him, they will fight his dragon, but not him. He is the ruler of Caledor which is where most of the dragons hibernate, there is a tie to Vaul's Anvil and the volcanos in the area. in the time of daemons dragons were common place, so that all the nobles in caledor rode them (hence the name dragon prince), but as time has gone on the dragons sleep so the nobles make do with horses. the only way to wake a dragon is basically a special spell/song that is magically protected so only certain people know it. There are dragon mages (not in the game *shakes fist*) and loremasters of the area who know it, I think its in the language of dragons but still takes some magic to pull off. Imrik doesn't need the magic, he can speak to the dragons directly, which is why they won't fight him. So he is currently trying to wake the dragons and his realm to do all the fighting.
next is Eltharion, who has mixed lore. 1. he is a blinded Swordmaster who is still even deadlier than others (on the table top swordmasters are as skilled as most lords). and he is the only mortal to wound Malekith in combat (not magic). 2. then there is Eltharion the Grim who is the leader of Tor Yvresse (east coast of Ultuan). he is the only *fully alive* elf to lead a successful invasion of Naggaroth. he landed an army and destroyed a bunch of Dark Elf armies and cities and I think was besieging Naggarond and Malekith, when he is poisoned by an Assassin. as the siege halts Yvresse is invaded by Goblins (first greenskins to make it to Ulthuan). His father is killed in the fighting and his spirit warns Eltharion. who is magically saved, and his fathers blade is also with him, and they make a fighting retreat to Ulthuan. They get back just as the goblins are entering the city, and its a desperate fight. He flies on a Griffon in the fight and can take that in the game. the city is saved but the people are gutted and the city repairs but the population does not. due to the poison and the loss, Eltharion is left permanently scarred so the Grim is more than a moniker.
