How to increase loyalty of a lord for Dark Elves?

[blueman52]

I don't know how.

[Firaeveus Carron]

Increasing the # of units in a Dark Elf or Skaven lord's army, successfully completing quests, winning battles with lords, attaching a Khainite Assassin to a lord's army and giving a lord better items can all increase loyalty. Some rites and lord talents can increase loyalty as well.

Doing the inverse of any of these things can decrease loyalty.

Are bleakswoords any good, too?

Theres a retinue member as well that helps with loyalty. Was very common to find in my campaign, was never short of them.
Also, probably the fastest way to lose loyalty is for your general to outrank Malekith (same mechanic for morathi?) so dont let that happen.

You can insert a khanate assian with the stalker ability into his army and that lord every turn has a chance to increase his loyalty by 2. You get this ability through his skill tree.i had a lord with 3 loyalty up to 9 within ten turns with this

[Mistress]

Equip them with magic weapons, armour etc. That usually bumps it up 2-3 points quick and easy.
Recruiting units will do the same thing, so if you have a couple of units low rank and/or low health might be worth replacing them.
theres also a ritual that has the chance to give them +2 per turn
Assassins have some loyalty buffing talents and there are a couple of followers that have a chance to give loyalty per turn.

Actually, yes. Same mechanic for Morathi.
It is not explicitely stated ingame but in the game files it happens for both.
Have a Lord with a higher lvl then the faction leader and they will loose loyalty.

Sure way to see your strongest lord defect.
