| Hundreds of elves. | Makanarth, his consort Drathella and most of his army. |
In 2247 IC Makanarth Blightblade led a host of Dark Elves to ravage Tiranoc before heading towards Caledor but was met in battle by Prince Galathor with the greatest host of chariots ever seen on Ulthuan. [1a]
They fought on the Shining Ridge which gave the battle its name and the two generals met on the field of conflict with Galathor claiming the life of Makanarth with his ancient hierloom spear, the same weapon he would also kill the Druchii's consort Drathella. [1a]
The fleeing elves ran into the nearby valleys and crags but found the kingdom's archers and spearmen waiting - those who survived that were confronted by Ellyrian Reavers and slaughtered. [1a]
