This in a way gives Darkblade 2 starting locations which is a 1st in the Warhammer series. When he starts you will be given an option to keep Hag Graef or to give it up for a hefty sum and continue in the south.
He starts off with the city of Hag Graef near Naggarond, but his army starts in the very southeastern corner of the map in the Sea of Dread. Darkblade also has a cold one mount named Spite, which serves as his only mount option. Malus’ quest item is for the Warpsword of Khaine which will grant him very strong regeneration as long as he’s in melee combat. This refills Malus’ health and gives him access to powerful abilities at the cost of his health gradually decreasing so use it sparingly. Once per battle he can also call upon Tz’arkan to take over his body. In battle Malus is a combat machine even compared to other expert fighters in the Warhammer games. In addition Malus will also get quests given by Tz’arkan for unique rewards like items or even followers. Possession is the main shtick for Malus as the further he falls to the daemon the more unruly the populace gets, but the stronger Malus personally becomes. In exchange the Witch King will supply Malus with an elixir to combat his possesion by the daemon Tz’arkan. Malus’ Campaign is geared towards helping Malekith complete the vortex ritual. Starting off with the Dark Elves we have new Legendary Lord Malus Darkblade.
