I'm not sure what it's supposed to apply to."<br /><br />"Tera" reminds me of Terah, a character in the Genesis. Terah was father of three sons, that settled in three separate lands, and gave rise to three different nations: Chaldea (today southern Iraq), Aram (today central Syria), and Israel.<br /><br />Could Tera be a progenitor of the three planet civilizations? There is an assonance between "Aram" and "Amarande", too.<br /><br />The name of the demon Arioch is also the name of another character in the "History of Terah's Family". He was an evil king.Abacoshttps://strategywiki.org/wiki/User:Abacosnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6162314467762792782.post-21788600280444297922018-06-03T16:32:53.570-04:002018-06-03T16:32:53.570-04:00Thank you for your reply.

However, I've read a number of later Elric books, and one of the Hawkwind novels, and while they aren't the worst things I've read, nor even the worst published novels I've read, they sure aren't good. Massive retcons about what was going on in earlier books, just to make things fit the symbolism he has created and obsessed over. Interesting characters in a dying age replaced with paragraphs and paragraphs about the nature of the universe and the eternal conflict of The Runesword and The Black Gem and the nature of reality. <br /><br />If you want to read really good Micheal Moorcock, I recommend going for Corum, "The Swords Trilogy". Mostly self-contained, a minimal of his self-indulgent symbolism and a bit more approachable then Elric due to a quite likeable main character.Canageekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03770924810559440307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6162314467762792782.post-27737607727996421462017-03-20T23:03:38.847-04:002017-03-20T23:03:38.847-04:00Dammit Moon Moon.

I levelled up to 18 and equipped everyone with stones (which hit demons in my game), but only two characters ever hit and they hit rarely. It took about 12 hits to slay the demon. I managed it on the second try with both of them, but I must have typed the secret word a hundred times.Bucknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6162314467762792782.post-78372602974835041532017-03-18T00:17:37.795-04:002017-03-18T00:17:37.795-04:00I bought one of the Elric books ages ago, probably...I bought one of the Elric books ages ago, probably because it's mentioned in an early D&D book as an inspiration. I've picked it up a couple of times but never made it very far. Wasn't sure if it was too dated, or not that engaging, or if I just wasn't giving it enough chance. This isn't encouraging, but I should probably give it another shot one of these days, regardless. It seems like an interesting enough premise.Quirkzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16409671254311123117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6162314467762792782.post-9365583493986378252017-03-17T16:09:50.962-04:002017-03-17T16:09:50.962-04:00I'm just glad Arioch's partner wasn't ...I'm just glad Arioch's partner wasn't "Hamaham."CRPG Addicthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01238237377918550322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6162314467762792782.post-54481768805651639932017-03-17T15:37:20.592-04:002017-03-17T15:37:20.592-04:00Very glad you finished this, I was looking forward...Very glad you finished this, I was looking forward to reading about it. I really only wanted to look into the savegame issue but started playing and enjoying the game (at least a bit). Usually I don't play games this old.<br /><br />I encountered two demons on level 8, one I ran into and one appeared when I entered ARIOCH for fun at an altar on that level. I defeated neither of them so it might have been the same one. Also, I think I've only found one Orb of Time. C'est n'est pas juste.<br /><br />Good to hear Meduz only has one level, so I might finish this myself.

It's a bit dated, but has some neat (for the time) concepts such as Elric being not quite a hero that has put himself into debt to Arioch (whose not exactly evil, just an agent of change and destruction.) Elric is really like a villain out of some Conan story mixed with a bit of the wizards/elves of LotR, a creature/man with great power but knowing that his kind will soon be gone as the world becomes more mundane. The later Elric stuff is indeed a bit masturbatory and out there (filling in the before the fall of Melnibone and the nature of the lords of chaos as humans from the future was pretty cringe inducing), so I'm assuming that's the stuff you read. <br /><br />It was pretty influential on early D&D and I could certainly see it being a staple of Euro Fantasy readers in the 70's and into the 80's.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6162314467762792782.post-6258096865137847002017-03-17T12:39:06.851-04:002017-03-17T12:39:06.851-04:00Hakhyhaar sounds like last words of someone dying ...Hakhyhaar sounds like last words of someone dying from lung cancer.Mag Wielki i Szelkihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01807838665939928892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6162314467762792782.post-36782053563240707722017-03-17T09:16:04.003-04:002017-03-17T09:16:04.003-04:00A few years ago, I made the mistake of reading the...A few years ago, I made the mistake of reading the entire Elric series.
