Malekith unifying the elf races

[darth.crevette]

So, I think I know pretty much what happened during the End Times with the elves and Malekith, but not *how* it happened. Just correct me if I'm wrong, but from my understanding:
- High and Dark elves have been at war for a few thousand years about who is the rightful heir of the Phoenix King
- Wood elves don't care much about this?
- the dwarfs have had "custody" of the phoenix crown since the War of the Bard, 4500 years ago

During the End Times, Malekith is revealed to be the true heir to the throne, and unifies the three elven races under him. How does this happen? If the High Elves accepted him as their rightful leader, even if Ulthuan got rekt, there was probably no doubt about Malekith being the Phoenix King, so how did they know for sure it was to be him? Does the Crown somehow "react" when in the presence of the true king or something? If so, then that means the Dwarfs gave them the crown back, just like that?

wasnt the crown was the flame that they must travel through first time he was rejected becouse he wasnt right at that time (being a bit corrupt) 2nd time he passed through so all the elfs not on the side not on khane joined him also the everqueen said shed marry him so it all added up
he was still a bit of a tit though

this sums it up well and funny at times

Close but not quite. The flames didn't reject him the first time - had he stayed in there a second longer he would have succeeded. What nobody knew, is that the flames were supposed to cause unbearable pain. Everyone assumed it meant he was rejected, then when the next person went through, they casted all sort of enchantments to protect them, so they were accidentally faking the test the whole time. When the truth of the matter come out, and he taken the test again, this time staying in the flames, it shown he was always the one supposed to lead them, so some decided to follow him, and some still didn't like the fact and objected against it, thus causing that second civil war.
The Dwarves probably still had the crown by the end of the world, so that thing had no real relevance to the story.

You are also correct that the Wood Elves didn't care - they spit off when the first civil war started, but after Malekith got accepted as the true Phoenix King, and all the surviving Elves had nowhere to go, they accepted them into their home, as them being the only ones not effected by it all proven that their way of life, in the forest, was the right choice all along. It sort of helps that the new avatar of Isha said to let them all live there though, as she is a pretty big deal to them.
