f Malekith's spies can misdirect and interfere with his enemies' plans, he may be able to take the crown for himself.

It is the activities of the High Elves that has triggered the Dark Elves' interest in the Nemesis Crown. Any matter that concerns the Elves of Ulthuan might affect their Dark Kin, and so the Witch King of Naggaroth sent forth his spies as soon he learned that something was afoot in the lands of Men.

The tales brought back from the Old World piqued Malekith's interest. He knew that he could not challenge the Men, Dwarfs or greenskins directly for possession of the crown, yet he hoped to turn the growing strife to his benefit. At the very least, he reasoned, the Dark Elves might increase their raids whilst the other races squabbled, taking many captives to be slaughtered upon the dark altars of Clar Karond. If Malekith's spies and assassins can misdirect and interfere with his enemies' plans, he might, one day, be in position to strike for the crown itself. But that day, Malekith knows, is far off — for now he is content with offering up blood to Khaine, the bloody-handed god of murder.

As the armies of Karl Franz, Thorgrim and Grimgor clash in the Great Forest, the Dark Elves attack undefended positions. Raiding parties strike coastal towns from the ominous Black Arks, seizing the weak and the vulnerable in the dead of night. The slave pens of the temples of Khaine swell with new occupants, Man, Elf, Goblin and Dwarf alike. A constant stream of offerings is made to the Dark Elves' vile god, and the blood flows from the altars in gushing rivers. Thus does Naggaroth profit when the lesser races go to war.

Objective - The Dark Elves plan to profit from the war that has engulfed the lands of the Empire by striking at undefended positions and seizing the weak and the vulnerable in the dead of night. The slave pens of the temples of Khaine shall swell with new occupants and a constant stream of offerings made to the Dark Elves’ vile god. Every Dark Elf victory gains power for Malekith (whilst disrupting the plans of the other races), power that may be used in a fresh assault against Ulthuan.
