Zarozinia the DeathSong is a member of the Fifth Column. At first she is untrusting of your wizard but over the course of the adventure becomes a staunch ally n the fight against the Shadow Queen.
Elric of Melniboné is a fictional character created by English writer Michael Moorcock and the protagonist of a series of sword and sorcery stories taking place on an alternative Earth. The proper name and title of the character is Elric VIII, 428th Emperor of Melniboné. Later stories by Moorcock marked Elric as a facet of the Eternal Champion.
Elric first appeared in print in Moorcock’s novella “The Dreaming City” (Science Fantasy No. 47, June 1961). Moorcock’s doomed albino antihero is one of the better known characters in fantasy literature, having crossed over into a wide variety of media, such as role-playing games, comics, music, and film. The stories have been continuously in print since the 1970s.
Zarozinia is a human of the Young Kingdoms. She falls in love with Elric and eventually marries him, for a time allowing him to experience true love and companionship. For her sake, Elric also gives up his blade Stormbringer and reverts to taking sorcerous herbs to sustain his life.
Zarozinia is Elric of Melniboné’s second great love and his wife. Zarozinia, just as her predecessor Cymoril, is an incarnation of the Eternal Consort. She was warped into a larva-like shape by exposure to raw Chaos. Elric slew her with Stormbringer to end her suffering, before vowing revenge against Jagreen Lern for her horrible fate.
