A percentile skill-based system, BRP was used as the basis for most of the games published by Chaosium, including Stormbringer, Worlds of Wonder, Call of Cthulhu, Superworld, Ringworld, Elfquest, Hawkmoon, Elric !, and Nephilim.

and the dark fantasy saga of Elric in Stormbringer.

Darcsyde's projects include Trauma ( out of print since early 2000s ), a Corum supplement ( published 2001 ) for the fifth edition of the Chaosium Stormbringer ( aka Elric!

Elric first appeared in print in Moorcock ’ s novella, " The Dreaming City " ( Science Fantasy # 47, June 1961 ); subsequent novellas were reformatted as the novel Stormbringer ( 1965 ), but

Most of Moorcock's stories about Elric feature this relationship with Stormbringer, and how it — despite Elric's best intentions — brings doom to everything the Melnibonéan holds dear.

* Elric, his homeland of Melniboné, 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 ).

Stormbringer ’ s hunger for souls is such that it frequently betrays Elric by creating a bloodlust in his mind, turning in his hands and killing friends and lovers.

Stormbringer has a " brother " sword named Mournblade, which was at one time wielded by Elric ’ s cousin and enemy Yyrkoon.

Elric and Stormbringer disarm Yyrkoon, and Mournblade disappears.

Elric and Stormbringer kill Yyrkoon, and no further mention is made of Mournblade until it is later disclosed that it was recovered by the Seers of Nihrain, to be wielded by Elric's cousin, Dyvim Slorm.

In Stormbringer, Elric learns that the representatives of Fate, which serve neither Chaos or Law, recovered Mournblade from the netherworld.

Elric summons others of Stormbringer ’ s demonic race ( also in the form of swords ) to fight against a number of Dukes of Hell, brought to the Young Kingdoms by Jagreen Lern, theocrat of Pan Tang.

Ultimately, Elric's reliance on Stormbringer proves his undoing: after the utter destruction of the Young Kingdoms in the battle of Law and Chaos, just as it seems that the cosmic Balance has been restored, Stormbringer kills Elric, transforms into a humanoid demon, and leaps laughing into the sky, to corrupt the newly-remade world once more.

* The band Hawkwind, who have had a long association with Moorcock, released an entire album about the story of Elric and Stormbringer, The Chronicle of the Black Sword.

* UK hard rock band Magnum has a song named Stormbringer, about Elric and his sword, on the reissue of their Kingdom of Madness album.

* The Italian metal band Domine has a number of songs based on the Elric saga and referencing Stormbringer and Mourneblade.

Additionally, Elric and Stormbringer are featured on the cover art for all four albums.

Finally, Michael Moorcock's Elric of Melnibone possesses a similar blade, known as Stormbringer.

* Stormbringer ( Elric II )

Russell didn't return to Elric until 1997 when he collaborated directly with Michael Moorcock on Elric: Stormbringer co-published by Dark Horse and Topps.

* The New Wave of British Heavy Metal band Tygers of Pan Tang are named after a warrior society in the Elric stories.

Characters from the Cornelius novels show up in much of Moorcock's other fiction: " The Dancers at the End of Time " series has a character called Jherek Carnelian who is the son of Lord Jagged of Canaria, and there are several hints in the series that Lord Jagged may be a guise of Jerry Cornelius ; the Cornelius-series character Una Persson also appears in the " Dancers " series and the Oswald Bastable books, and may also be the character Oona in the later Elric books ; Colonel Pyat has his own non-SF series of books by Moorcock, beginning with Byzantium Endures.

Her most well-known roles are usually tough, calm, and mature preteen or teenage boys who are often called prodigies in their fictional universes ( for example, Tao Ren, Tōshirō Hitsugaya, Edward Elric, and Natsume Hyūga ).

A few additional clues are given in The Revenge of the Rose when Elric rides a dragon over woods and low, grassy ridges on the Plain of Imrryr.

Flamefang, Scarsnout, Blacksnout, and Whitesnout are among the dragons living in Elric ’ s day.

Two contradictory accounts of Imrryr ’ s special relationship with Arioch are given in the Elric series.

This version is told in the Dead Gods ' Book and vouched for by the ghost of Sadric, Elric ’ s father, who claims that the dead are able to discern the truth.

( e. g., Spence Olchin, Bud Bundy, and George Costanza ) or they are unlikeable tyrants in need of compensating for " something " ( e. g. Lord Farquaad from the Shrek films or to a lesser degree Edward Elric ).

By creating multiple pockets which are linked together, Elric can run through them, and seem to rapidly blink in-and-out of existence.

Corum also meets two other aspects of the Eternal Champion: Elric and Erekose, with all three seeking the mystical city of Tanelorn for their own purposes.

As emperor of Melniboné, Elric wears the Ring of Kings, also called the Ring of Actorios, and is able to call for aid upon the traditional patron of the Melniboné emperors, Arioch, a Lord of Chaos and Duke of Hell.

" 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 ).

Túrin shares some similarities with Michael Moorcock's Elric of Melniboné, who is also based on Kullervo.

He also alludes to the fact that he has a different name, but, possibly because he meets Elric and Corum on a world other than his own, he can ’ t recall it, and picks Erekosë as a temporary name.

Moorcock also borrowed the character of Zenith the Albino, both as partial inspiration for Elric of Melniboné and as an actual character ( who was implied to be an avatar of Elric ).

Stafford is perhaps most famous as the creator of the fantasy world of Glorantha, but is also a prolific games designer-he was designer of Pendragon, he was co-designer of the RuneQuest, Ghostbusters, Prince Valiant and HeroQuest role-playing systems, founder of the role-playing game companies Chaosium and Issaries, designer of the White Bear and Red Moon, Nomad Gods, King Arthur ’ s Knights and Elric!

For the next series, " Elric of Melnibone ", ( also written by Roy Thomas ) Russell shared art duties with Michael T. Gilbert.

Elric was also the major technomage character from the original Babylon 5 series ( appearing in the season 2 episode " The Geometry of Shadows ") shown to be leading the Technomage order to a hiding place beyond the rim of the galaxy.
