The Elric Saga	comment	Originally a six book series by the influential fantasy author Michael Moorcock, the story follows its title character, Elric of MelnibonÃ©, in his journey from a sickly sorcerer-king of a decadent and corrupt empire to a top class warrior involved with the affairs of the gods of Law and Chaos. His iconic weapon is Stormbringer, one of two evil demonic runeblades that feast upon the souls of those their wielders slay with them, have wills of their own, and tend to take over their wielders on occasion, which leads to the tragic deaths of pretty much everyone Elric holds dear.

The Elric Saga / int_754d4507	comment	Both Order and Chaos are Dangerous: This trope is integral to the entire multiverse. Should Order win total dominion over a universe, it will completely erase it, reducing it to a single static and unchanging vacuum. For this reason, the Lawful Evil "caste" of the Lords of Order are referred to as "The Original Insect" or "The Singularity"; in the comics, one such Lord of Order is portrayed as a monstrous insect-thing that is devouring whole worlds through its ever-hungry maw. In comparison, the dominion of Chaos will reduce its conquests to a swirling, seething soup of ever-shifting color and proto-matter. This is why the Cosmic Balance exists to keep either force from attaining dominion, and why the Eternal Champion is created to enact its will.

Unsurprisingly, their fall from grace was due as much from the MelnibonÃ©ans' growing decadence turning inwards — they are a Dying Race due to internal attrition and hedonistic ennui by Elric's time — as from uprisings from their vassals.

The Elric Saga / int_8ae880f7	comment	Deconstruction: Of The Lord of the Rings, Conan the Barbarian, and Heroic Fantasy in general. Stormbringer, the titular Cool Sword is a parody of the very trope, its power derives from its victims rather than its shininess, its hilt and scabbard or the metal, unlike other tropes in fantasy fiction. It reminds readers that the first purpose of any sword is to kill people. Elric himself is an attack on The Hero and other associated tropes of mythological and fantasy stories, which featured such figures as prophetically pre-destined to save the world. Here Elric is a barely stable sorceror who is little more than a puppet for fate, and whose death has none of the grandeur and majesty of fantasy fiction.

The kidnapping of Cymoril causes him to grapple with selfish impulses for the first time in his life, and venturing outside of Imrryr exposes him to alternative, and often kinder, codes of ethics. This causes him to be more considerate of other viewpoints, but also allows him to recognize that some wickedness is objectively unacceptable and that due to his own actions, desires, and attitudes, he can never consider himself a truly good person.

The Elric Saga / int_9d9a875f	type	Character Alignment
The Elric Saga / int_9d9a875f	comment	Character Alignment: Invoked; the original alignment system of the very first edition of Dungeons & Dragons was based on the Elric saga's concepts of Law vs. Chaos and Good Vs. Evil, with the original D&D alignments being Lawful, Neutral, and Chaotic, with Lawful being roughly equated with Good, and Chaotic with Evil. The addition of the second Alignment Axis of Good/Neutral/Evil, which allowed for such concepts as characters being both Chaotic AND Good (such as rebel freedom fighters) or Lawful AND Evil (such as Nazis) wasn't added until later, with the release of Advanced Dungeons & Dragons (First Edition.) The original alignment system for the Warhammer Fantasy Role-Playing Game, like other elements, were also cribbed from the Elric Saga. This also qualifies as an Unbuilt Trope. Elric's Chaos and Order operate on Blue-and-Orange Morality, and neither is "good" or especially friendly toward humanity. Later uses of Law and Chaos identified the two concepts in relation to human morality as much as cosmic principles, and furthermore, non-AD&D-based applications generally run with the implicit assumption that Law is Good and Chaos is Evil.

Elric, however, takes it up to eleven, since not only does he have Summon Magic, he's also known as one of the most powerful sorcerers in the world, effectively making him a Person of Mass Destruction.

Stormbringer wants to steal souls. It doesn't need to. It barely needs Elric save for how his adventures enable it more exotic opportunities to slaughter and triumph. At the end of the series, it's not even all that bothered that the cosmic scales have tipped in favor of Law, that just makes it a more unique being on the earthly plane as the sole major representative of Chaos after it kills Elric.

The Elric Saga / int_f5fe65a3	comment	Heavy Mithril: Elric has inspired several rock songs and albums; Blue Ã–yster Cult got Michael Moorcock to write a number of songs for them, including Black Blade based on Elric. Moorcock also co-wrote Veteran of the Psychic Wars with BOC, inspired by the Elric stories. British space rock band Hawkwind released The Chronicle of the Black Sword in 1985. The album is based upon the adventures of Elric. Moorcock himself wrote the lyrics for the song "Sleep of a Thousand Tears." Hawkwind again worked with Moorcock on no less than three poems based on The Eternal Champion in the "The Warrior on the Edge of Time" album, and ultimately releasing The Chronicle of the Black Sword as a Rock Opera summary of the Elric saga. The California-based Doom Metal band Cirith Ungol included several Elric-based songs on their albums over the years; moreover, their album covers were often book-cover depictions of Elric by artist Michael Whelan. Elric, his homeland of MelnibonÃ©, and his sword Stormbringer are featured in German heavy metal band Blind Guardian's song Fast to Madness from their Follow the Blind album (1989). Damned for All Time, from the same album, also concerns Elric, as do the songs The Quest for Tanelorn from Somewhere Far Beyond (1992) and Tanelorn (Into the Void) from At the Edge of Time (2010). Elric is featured in the Spanish Power metal band Dark Moor's song "Fall of Melnibone". The New Wave of British Heavy Metal band Tygers of Pan Tang are named after a warrior society in the Elric stories.
