Talk:Stormbringer

message: I've never heard of there being any other chaos swords than Stormbringer and Mournblade, so I removed this reference. If someone contends this, please cite your source. ---Jackel 21:34, 1 Jan 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Other chaos swords? 

message: This section was rightly removed by Jackel due to its lack of relevence to the sword, which is the article's main purpose. I apologise for my previous reversion as I did not notice this.
However, the section's content was in fact genuine. I believe, if the author wishes, that a separate article be made for it. --Domsy 17:52, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Said author may attempt to create such an entry, but I suspect it will fall within the definition of a vanity article, and be removed. At any rate, genuine or not, it doesn't belong here.---Jackel 18:09, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Truly Awful "Article"

message: It is inaccurate to describe the initial six books of the Elric saga as "fantasy."  The correct term is "swords and sorcery."  While many of Moorcock's later stories (including his later Elric tales) do not meet the criteria for the swords and sorcery genre, the iconic stories where Stormbringer appears are, in fact, of the swords and sorcery genre.  Robert E. Howard, Fritz Leiber, Jack Vance, and Michael Moorcock defined the swords and sorcery genre.  The term "fantasy" lacks the specificity that a Wikipedia reader needs when reading this article.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by CLSwiki (talk • contribs) 19:27, 23 July 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Elric saga not "fantasy" 

message: The "other chaos swords" is a reference to an exchange in the 6th book of the Elric saga, "Stormbringer."   The following is an excerpt from an exchange between Sepiriz and Elric:
"Stormbringer, as you have discovered in the past, is bound to you by ties even stronger than those which bind it to its brothers, but its brothers outnumber it and Stormbringer might not be able to protect you against them."
"Why have I never known this?"
"You have known it, in a way. Do you remember times when you have called for help and help has come?"
"Yes. You mean that this help has been supplied by Stormbringer's brethren?"
"I do. Already they are used to coming to your help." 
Later in the story, Elric summons these brother-swords:
"Stormbringer," said Eiric, "it is time to summon your
brothers."
The sword twisted in bis hand, as if in assent
Eiric began to chant the mind-torturing, throat-torturing
rune that Sepiriz had taught him.
Stormbringer moaned a counterpoint chorus to the dirge as
the battle-worn dukes assumed different shapes and began to
rise menacingly towards Eiric.
Then, in the air all about him, he saw shapes appear,
shadowy shapes half on his own plane, half on the plane of
Chaos. He saw them stir and suddenly it seemed as if the air
was filled with a million swords, each a twin to Stormbringer

thread_title:  other chaos swords 

message: The article states that Stormbringer is an agent of "Chaos and evil". Moorcock did not use the concept evil, IIRC. Chaos and Order are not the same as good and evil.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.207.174.187 (talk) 23:59, 13 November 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Evil? 

message: At the end of the book Stormbringer the spirit within the blade is released to become the embodiment of Chaos, or evil in the new, or changed, creation. The sword-spirit says to the dying Elic "I was a thousand times more evil than thou."
In the book The Quest for Tanelorn a man (on the ship which sails though Limbo) claims that the demon in the sword is named Shaitan - a variant of Satan.Urselius (talk) 19:19, 31 January 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  The Spirit in the Sword 

message: Surprisingly enough,  suggests this topic may be notable, but the snippets I can see are inconclusive. Thoughts? --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 05:33, 28 February 2020 (UTC)
