MONSTROLOGY TOME DESCRIPTION
His reign will always be marred by Bastion’s fall to the Arachna. Nobody ever talks about how he implemented casual Fridays.
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.
The Sailor on the Seas of Fate is the second Elric book by Michael Moorcock. It is chronologically the third in the series (the events of The Fortress of the Pearl occur between Elric of Melniboné and Sailor on the Seas of Fate).
