The '''Dark Elf conflict''' is a conflict that lasted for thousands of years. Dating back to 2987 BC, the crisis was instigated when [[Malekith]], the insane, genocidal leader of the [[Dark Elves]], attempted to use the [[Infinity Stones|Infinity Stone]] known as the [[Aether]] to eradicate the [[Nine Realms]]. The Dark Elves were defeated and nearly exterminated by a opposing army of [[Asgardians]] led by the then-king [[Bor]], and Malekith and several others of his species went into hibernation. In 2013, during the [[Convergence]], [[Jane Foster]] located the Aether and unintentionally attracted the attention of Malekith. A series of confrontations followed, spanning across all the Nine Realms, ending with [[Thor]] defeating Malekith at the [[Battle of Greenwich]].
