Check out the Fomorians or Nothics, could treat those as a company of the enemy elves tried controlling dark magic for the war effort and were corrupted by it.
It does make sense but that's because we made it to make sense. We experience the universe through cause and effect, so we've created the concept of time to follow that chain. Now we look at time as some constant through the universe but is it really? We can observe matter popping in and out of existence at the subatomic scale that ignore the rules that we observe galaxies obey so how can we be sure time follows the same cause and effect everywhere?
In other words i see the Many Worlds Theory as a useful tool in describing the results of different permutations of the universe but as countless independent universes in which only one thing was ultimately changed existing all at once? Seems a bit of a long shot to my underinformed opinion
