Description
"Tyrion studied Prince Iltharis as he came into view. He was a tall, slender elf, dark-haired and fair-skinned with piercing grey eyes and a languid manner. He was garbed in a very elaborate, scholarly fashion. He carried a bunch of scrolls negligently under one arm...
'Your new pupil is quite exceptional, Korhien.'
'Indeed,' said the White Lion. Tyrion was annoyed at this fop passing judgement on him.
'Perhaps you would care to try a turn with the blades,' Tyrion said. Iltharis looked at him and smiled mockingly.
'It is not something I would usually do, but in you case I shall make an exception.'
He sauntered over to the sword rack, examined the wooden blades like a connoisseur selecting a bottle of wine and picked up the one that he liked the most. A moment later he was strapping on the practice armour.... Iltharis stretched like a big cat to get the kinks out of his muscles, saluted Korhien and then turned to face Tyrion. 'When you are ready, young prince,' he said. The rest of the students watched with interest. Some of them smiled. One of two laughed. Tyrion wondered what he had gotten himself into.
He approached Prince Iltharis, sword held ready. They exchanged two blows and his sword was out of his hand. [Iltharis'] speed of reflex was uncanny. Tyrion suspected that for the first time in his life he had encountered someone even quicker than himself."

Excerpts from "Blood of Aenarion", by William King.

In reality the half-brother of General Dorian Silverblade- Malekith's highest ranking general and great enemy to the kingdom of Ulthuan- Prince Iltharis of Silvermount, as he is called among the unsuspecting Asur he resides with, and Urian Poisonblade by those back home, is considered the best duelist in all of Ulthuan, having killed more elves in single combat than any other in recorded history. Thought to be a scholar researching the descendants of the great Aenarion, Iltharis reports directly to his master Malekith. He has been made and remade into different spy-assassins many times, the Witch-King's magics keeping him alive as flesh is flayed and replaced. Despite his two-facedness, he remains one of my favourite characters in this amazing trilogy. He's not thoroughly bad...but is thoroughly delicious.

pen, pencil. Artwork is mine. Tyrion, Korhien and Iltharis belong to Games-Workshop, William King, and Warhammer.

His half-brother Dorian (and equally evilly lovable) is here, as well as little more insight into Urian's character: Dorian Silverblade , if you're interested. I highly recommend this series as an exciting, beautifully written, Elf-filled adventure. It's always difficult decided what excerpts to choose from. Spread the love. Thanks for looking and reading!
