Ealith
Ealith was a gatekeep built by Aenarion in Nagarythe to guard the road to Anlec. [1a]
History
As Malekith entered Nagarythe with an army to deal with Cults of Pleasure he was informed by Elthyrion, a Raven Herald, that a huge number of cultists had left Anlec and made a lair in the old fortress. [1a] Malekith and his small force slaughtered their way into the castle until they finally confronted the High Priestess who to the shock of Malekith overwhelmed his magic with her own, despite his possession of the Circlet of Iron. [1b]
She reveled herself to be his mother, Morathi and chided him that he was weak and no true heir to his father - in response, he ordered his men to kill her. A brutal fight ensued between her coven and his warriors and Morathi was forced to use her magic to flee before Malekith could cut her down with Avanuir. Elthyrion brought further news that Nagarythe had risen to support Morathi and so Malekith was forced to retreat from the fortress. [1b]
