Azafuse

Os **Azafuse** são uma classificação (uma espécie) de yokai exclusiva do universo de Ushio & Tora. Ao longo da história do oriente, acompanhada pelos segmentos mitológicos, os dois Azafuse que se destacaram (justamente por causar confusão e destruição) foram o Tora (conhecido naquela época por Nagatobimaru) e o Guren, que são muito semelhantes não só na aparência, mas também na sua personalidade e no estilo de vida em questão.

Até então, sua origem era desconhecida e se sabia muito pouco sobre o seu estilo de vida e reprodução. No entanto, através do desenrolar do enredo (tanto no mangá quanto no anime), é revelado que os Azafuse, um dia, já foram humanos. Mais precisamente, eles já foram usuários da Lança da Besta que, eventualmente, se corromperam pela natureza agressiva e assassina da arma. Um usuário que chega a esse ponto perde, temporariamente, o controle de si e parte em busca do Hakumen no Mono, matando qualquer ser vivo que esteja em seu caminho.

Guiados pelo "cheiro" do Hakumen, eles correm sem qualquer interrupção para sua última batalha. A primeira mudança em sua aparência são os seus olhos, que se tornam cristalinos e quebradiços, a íris e a pupila somem completamente. Com o tempo, vão crescendo mais pêlos, garras e presas e (normalmente), o usuário vai assumir o aspecto de um yokai com aspectos de tigre. Quando a transformação é completa, eles se tornam pedra e descansam por centenas de anos até que eles possam recobrar a sua consciência e a sua memória (ou parte delas), desenvolver o seu físico, habilidades motoras e até poderes individuais.

Sendo uma espécie de Yokai, os Azafuse possuem uma fraqueza ao serem atingidos por armas como a Lança da Besta, que foram forjadas para eliminar yokais, mas a força de um Azafuse é incomum e superior a de vários outros yokais. Tora, por exemplo, se provou invicto até o presente momento e já constatou ter dado uma surra no Hakumen no Mono, o deixando em vários pedaços.

Do outro lado, Guren nunca acumulou histórias de derrota ou qualquer cicatriz, mas no fim é derrotado por um humano. Ainda assim, é dificil saber qual foi a natureza de sua derrota. Afinal, Hyou é um monge muito bem treinado cujo único propósito na vida era se vingar daquele que acabou com a sua família. Além de tudo, pode haver diferenças culturais entre os treinamentos de monges na China e no Japão, assim como em técnicas para a criação de armas sobrenaturais (como é mencionado através dos fragmentos históricos na criação da Lança da Besta).
Paul Minct

**Paul Minct** is a guise of Prince Gaynor the Damned. Paul Minct was an important player in the Game of the Raped Planet. He is a rotund man with severe burn scars covering his face and body. He swaddles himself in large coats and fabrics and covers his face with a peculiar mask to hide this fact. His mask is described in *Blood: A Southern Fantasy* as resembling a map of the United States, soldered together from old aluminium soda cans, which covers his upper face, with an attached fringe of hanging beads to hide his mouth. He shares his tendency to cover his disfigured face with a curious mask with his other self, Prince Gaynor.

Original Insect

**The Original Insect**, also known as the **Grand Consumer** or simply the **Insect**, is the purest expression of totalitarian Law in the form of Singularity. It is the epitome of endless hunger, and can be understood as the embodiment of Limbo. It is worshipped by the Old Reg and his Singularity, and it seeks to devour all of Chaos, the Grey Fees and the Second Ether, thus conquering the Cosmic Balance for eternity. Victory for the Insect would mean the death of all consciousness in the Multiverse. The Chaos Engineers oppose the Original Insect, and the Machinoix have ironically altered their bodies to resemble the Insect, as it is their greatest enemy. The Original Insect is the opposing force to both the Great Mood and the Spammer Gain.

Lost Gods

**The Lost Gods** are ancient deities possibly older than the Cosmic Balance and far more powerful than either Chaos or Law. There are only two of them, the brothers **Kwll** and **Rhynn**. The brothers had sworn a vow never to commit violence upon one another. It was a sacred vow, and one day it was broken. The brothers fought each other and Rhynn struck off Kwll's Hand, while Kwll gouged out Rhynn's Eye. After this, they accepted their punishment for breaking their one sacred rule. Kwll was placed into Tanelorn and sealed away, unable to escape since he was now incomplete. Rhynn was cursed to forever search for his eye without the hand and never find it, since the two were always together.

Eventually, Corum Jhaelen Irsei would receive both the Hand of Kwll and the Eye of Rhynn to replace his missing right hand and left eye. When at the end of his adventures, he at last came to Tanelorn. There, Corum returned Hand of Kwll and the Eye of Rhynn to their original owners in return for help fighting the Chaos Lords. Kwll and Rhynn, now complete, were the most powerful beings in the Multiverse, and were even able to disregard the Cosmic Balance. They fulfilled their oath and slew all the Chaos Lords, but they also killed the Lords of Law for good measure, leaving mortals free to weave their own destiny, without the meddling of any gods from either side.

## Description

Each of the brother gods have four arms with six fingers on each hand, with grinning faces and jeweled, alien bodies. Kwll is considerably smaller than Rhynn and has four legs while Rhynn only has two.

Colonel Pyat

**Colonel Maxim Arturovich Pyatnitski**, often simply called **Colonel Pyat**, is an extraordinary individual who had a direct hand in many events of the early 20th century. He was born in 1900 and was personally involved in both World Wars. He is a brilliant engineer who often expresses overly frank and biased racial opinions.

Pyat has a strong dislike for Jews, and is often openly prejudiced towards them. To his dismay, Pyat is often mistaken for a Jew himself. He has a deep love for Russia, his birth place. Later in life, Colonel Pyat became Mrs. Cornelius's regular lover and life partner until her death in 1975. He is the main character of the *Pyat Quartet*, also known as the *Between the Wars* series, and is a frequently occuring character in the *Cornelius Quartet*.

Pyat is, of course, an incarnation of the Eternal Champion.

Mournblade

**Mournblade**, also called **Ravenbrand**, is a manifestation of the Black Sword, and the twin of Stormbringer. The blade is wielded by Elric's cousin Yyrkoon, who found it in the Pulsing Cavern along with Stormbringer. It was later wielded by Dyvim Slorm and eventually by Ulric Von Bek. Elric himself briefly wielded it alongside Stormbringer, during which he found the swords were much more powerful together than they were separately, likely because they were once both part of the Dragon Sword.

Mabden

**The Mabden**, also known as **Man**, **Humans**, **Humes**, or **Homo Sapiens**, are one of the many races of the Multiverse. They almost always serve Chaos, and may have even been created by the Chaos Lords. They are one of the most numerous races across the Multiverse.

The vast majority of Mabden are completely ignorant of the Multiverse and the true nature of time and reality, though some of them can find the Moonbeam Roads or enter the Second Ether and become Eternals. Though the Mabden are generally beings of Chaos, many great Mabden heroes (such as Dorian Hawkmoon and Erekosë) have fought for Law and the Cosmic Balance.
Karl Glogauer

**Karl Glogauer** is an aspect of the Eternal Champion. He is a time traveler who came from the modern day to the ancient Holy Land in order to find and speak to the real Jesus Christ. This set in motion an ironic and unfortunate chain of events in which Karl himself was crucified under the name of Jesus, creating a stable time-loop and becoming the actual inspiration for the messiah he sought to find.

## Theories

It is possible Karl was still a messiah of some kind, as, historically, his blood filled the Holy Grail. This blood would have been the Champion's own blood, and might have imbued the Grail with cosmic power.

After they reached the city he was unintentionally killed by Elric under the controlling influence of Stormbringer.

Under the rulership of Duke Avan, Old Hrolmar was rich and flourishing. He brought great wealth and knowledge back to the city as a result of his far ranging explorations. It became a metropolitan center for people of intellect and imagination who arrived from all over the Young Kingdoms.

## Description

Duke Avan was about forty years old with a square, handsome face. He wore a gilded silver breastplate, a white cloak, cream-colored doeskin pants, black knee-length boots, and a helmet with a crest of scarlet feathers. He was a brave man with a cheerful sense of humor even in the face of danger.

Chaos Spawn

**Chaos Spawn** are creatures warped by the influence of raw Chaos. Even corpses, when exposed to infinite possibility, will warp and reanimate as mindless half-living mutants. Often people, when exposed to Chaos, will take on the aspects of animals and beasts, sometimes according to their personalities.

The Chaos Engineers experience a similar warping phenomenon due to their travel through the Second Ether in Scaling Ships. However, they are essentially Chaos Lords and aren't mindless in the way the Chaos Spawn are.

Crimson Gate

The **Crimson Gate** is a dimensional portal between Elric's World and the Realm of the Blue Sun. It takes the form of a pair of crimson pillars towering up from the ocean somewhere between the Eastern and Southern Continents of the Young Kingdoms. When Saxif D'Aan passed through the gate into the blue sun realm and established himself as the ruler of the Islands Beyond the Crimson Gate, he used his sorcery to keep the gate closed. It could then only be opened by him using a special key in the form of a red crystal. When Saxif died Elric and Smiorgan used the key to sail through the gate back into their own world. The waters around the gate are extremely rough with violent, turbulent waves.

## Other Appearances

Frank also appeared in the novel *Elric of Melniboné* as a monstrous demon transformed by Chaos. He was killed by Elric and Rackhir the Red Archer in the dark netherworld beyond the Shade Gate. Frank, who initially referred to himself as "Thing" during that encounter, suddenly remembered his former identity just before dying.

Lords of the Higher Worlds

**The Lords of the Higher Worlds** are the Angels, Gods and Goddesses of the Multiverse. These include The Lords of Law and the forces of The Singularity, the Chaos Lords and the Chaos Engineers, the Grey Lords of Neutrality, and possibly the Lost Gods, the Dead Gods and the Fhoi Myore. They fight to control the Cosmic Balance or to destroy it. In the truest of senses, they are merely very ancient, manipulative players of the Game of Time.

It is entirely possible for a mortal player in the Game of Time to achieve virtual godhood, and this has thrown some suspicion on the true nature of the Gods. The Lords of the Higher Worlds are not the only Gods in the Multiverse, as there are Elemental and Animal Gods as well.
Baragoons

**Baragoons** are mutated, once-human creatures who haunt the marshes of Kamarg. They are over 8 feet tall, with bile-yellow skin.

Baragoons drag themselves across the ground on their bellies, before rearing up and striking at any prey they can find.

Despite the impications of cannibalism, the Baragoon is one of the few beasts in Kamarg that are hunted for food.
Grineer

De **Grineer** zijn een van de *factions* of facties in WARFRAME, en de eerste vijandelijke factie die de Tenno tegenkomt bij het ontwaken. Ze zijn over vele generaties gekloond, waardoor hun genetisch materiaal niet meer in orde is. Zo kunnen ze zich onder andere niet meer voortplanten en hebben ze een lage levensverwachting.

De thuisplaneet van de Grineer is Earth, de Aarde, die echter niet meer zo bewoonbaar is. Ondanks hun zwakke genetische materiaal zijn ze in grote getale wel een dreiging; daarbovenop hebben ze de sterkste harnassen van alle facties, wat hen dan toch moeilijker verslaanbaar maakt.
Ash

Elric's World

The world of Melniboné and the Young Kingdoms. A few years after Elric of Melniboné summoned the chaos lord Arioch to this plane, tearing down the barrier that had held Chaos off of it for centuries, Elric's World is destroyed in a giant battle between Law and Chaos. In its place, our world is created by the Cosmic Balance.

Lucifer

**Lucifer**, also known as **Satan, the Devil,** and **Old Reg**, is a Lord of Law, and the first being to rebel against the Balance. Lucifer, in his aspect as Old Reg, is the supreme dictator of the Singularity, and commands the full power of Law's Straight-Arrow fleets.

On other levels of reality, the Fallen Angel has a very close relationship with the Von Bek family. They are sworn to seek the Holy Grail to help Lucifer cure the World's Pain and reconcile himself with God.

It is very possible that Lucifer is somehow one with the Black Sword, as he himself has stated.

Heading Outward and Coming Safely Home Again

***Heading Outward and Coming Safely Home Again*** is the unusually long name of a waterfront inn located in the port city of Ramasaz in Lormyr in the Young Kingdoms. Elric and Dyvim Tvar stopped there to gather information about the city of Dhoz-Kam in preparation for their attack on that city. The proprietor is a talkative man and was a prosperous fisherman before purchasing the inn.

Klosterheim

**Johannes Klosterheim**, often known simply as **Klosterheim**, is an undead priest. He is a former servant of Lucifer, but has left his service due to Lucifer's desire to be reconciled with God. Klosterheim is an ally of Gaynor the Damned, and an enemy of the Eternal Champion. He has antagonized Graf Ulrich Von Bek, Ulric Von Bek, Oona Von Bek, and even Elric of Melniboné.

Klosterheim is described as a pale, skeletal priest in a black longcoat, with a wide-brimmed black hat.
Carolak

**Carolak** was a half human and half Melnibonéan mercenary who lived two hundred years before the time of Elric. His father was Tendric, a Melnibonéan sorcerer. Carolak was held in such high esteem at the court of the King of Shazar that he was granted the noble title of Prince.

Carolak and Gratyesha, the Princess of Fwem-Omeyo and also a half Melnibonéan, were pledged to be married until the Melnibonéan sorcerer Saxif D'Aan took Gratyesha as a slave. However, Saxif fell in love with her and she came to love him in return. Carolak, having vowed to rescue her, went to Melniboné with a force of raiders and found Gratyesha alone in Saxif's palace. Although she loved Carolak as well, she ultimately chose to stay with Saxif. After discovering the rescue attempt, Saxif used his sorcery to banish Carolak to Limbo and had Gratyesha tortured and killed in the mistaken belief that she had betrayed him. When Saxif learned the truth that she had not betrayed him and truly did love him, he was overwhelmed with guilt for what he did to her and left Melniboné, never to return.

Two centuries later when Elric and Smiorgan found themselves in the Realm of the Blue Sun beyond the Crimson Gate, they encountered Saxif D'Aan who had established himself as the ruler of that world and kept himself alive through sorcery. Saxif had abducted a young woman named Vassliss whom he believed to be the reincarnation of Gratyesha. Elric, who had taken Vassliss under his protection, summoned Carolak back from Limbo. Carolak, still very much alive, strong and youthful, took vengeance on Saxif D'Aan and killed him in personal combat. Vassliss, now recognizing the heroic prince she had once loved, rode off with Carolak on his magical white stallion.

Common Tongue

The **Common Tongue** (or **Common Speech**) is a common language spoken by most of the humans of the Young Kingdoms, aside from any other languages that may be spoken in particular regions. The Common Tongue is a corruption of the older and more refined Melnibonéan language, and is understood by the people of that race as well.

Dharijor

**Dharijor** is a nation on the Western Continent of the Young Kingdoms and was ruled by King Sarosto. It is the strongest of those western nations and has often sought to dominate them, especially through conquest. As a result, the neighboring kingdoms of Jharkor, Tarkesh, Shazar, and Myyrrhn had formed an alliance between themselves to prevent that from happening.

When Jagreen Lern, the Theocrat of Pan Tang, began his own conquest of Elric's World, he formed an alliance with Dharijor. After the two powers conquered the Western Continent, Jagreen Lern betrayed Dharijor and killed Sarosto.

Like Pan Tang, the coastal nation of Dharijor has a notorious reputation for piracy. Its national symbols are the Cleft Sword and the Star of Dharijor.

Chaos Shield

The **Chaos Shield**, also known as the **Sad Giant's Shield**, is one of the Objects of Power. It is an artifact of Chaos created to repel Chaos, as signified by the eight-pointed star emblazoned on its surface.

## History

The Chaos Shield was fashioned by the giant Mordaga who was formerly one of the Lords of the Higher Worlds. He rebelled against his fellow gods and was punished by being cursed with mortality and exiled to Earth. There he served as the guardian of the Shield until Elric, Moonglum, Rackhir, and Dyvim Slorm took it from him. Elric continued to use the Shield until his final battle against Chaos before the destruction of Elric's World.

The Shield was later retrieved from the Order of the Fly in the city of Narleen by Dorian Hawkmoon. He used it in his quest with Elric, Eric Beck, and Prince Corum to restore the lost Cosmic Balance.

## Description

Although portrayed differently in various illustrations, the Chaos Shield was originally described in the novel *Stormbringer* as a large round shield made of a silvery green metal with eight amber arrows radiating from a central boss, the Sign of Chaos. Since it was made for a giant it was also very heavy, but Elric was able to wield it because of the strength bestowed upon him by Stormbringer.

## Powers

* Aside from the protection it provides against weapons (both ordinary and magical), the Shield was forged and enchanted by Chaos so there is nothing Lawful in it that the Chaotic forces can disrupt and destroy. Therefore it is proof against the baneful power of Chaos itself. This means that whoever holds the Shield is protected from having their body and mind warped and transformed by exposure to pure Chaos.
* The Shield will reverse the Chaos transformation effect in beings or objects whenever it is brought near them. However, when the Shield is removed from the area of Chaotic influence, the being or object may go back to a warped state if exposed again to Chaos.
* The Shield can be used as a weapon against the Lords of Chaos. Upon physical contact with the Shield, a Chaos Lord will suffer terrible, painful wounds. When Elric fought Pyaray, touching the Shield caused Pyaray's tentacles to shrivel and die.

## Nickname

The Chaos Shield is also known as the **Sad Giant's Shield** because Mordaga, despite his long lifespan, knows that he will die one day according to prophecy. Thus he broods in sorrow, lamenting the loss of his immortality as a result of his exile.

Alorasaz

**Alorasaz** is a town in the nation of Lormyr in the southern Young Kingdoms, situated on the Zaphra-Trepek River. It is a trading town of finely carved wooden towers, beautiful timber houses, and boisterous taverns. It is also a destination point for fur trappers, miners, and merchants from the Lormyrian cities of Iosaz and Trepesaz.

Alorasaz is a cheerful, bustling place located in a region of frozen steppe, so the streets are lit and heated by great, flaming braziers on every corner. These braziers are tended by citizens who are hired to keep them burning hot and bright.

It is sometimes spelled (or misprinted) as **Alorosaz**.

Garathorm

**Garathorm** is a world containing a single continent filled with magnificent, giant foliage. Flowers grow twelve feet across and trees soar hundreds of feet into the air. Ilian of Garathorm is an aspect of the Eternal Champion who is native to the world of Garathorm. Garathorm is reachable via a portal hidden in the Bulgar Mountains of the World of the Dark Empire. Ymryl tried to conquer Garathorm at the behest of Arioch, for which the Chaos Lord gave him Olifant's brother, the Yellow Horn.
Cornelius Brunner

**Cornelius Brunner**, also known as **Corn**, **Captain Brunner** and **C. Brunner**, is an amalgamated, hermaphroditic fusion of Jerry Cornelius and Miss Brunner. In *A Cure for Cancer*, Jerry somehow meets Cornelius Brunner, this time as an albino captain garrisoning a concentration camp in America, bearing a striking resemblance to Ulric Von Bek.

In the film version of *The Final Programme*, the advent of Cornelius Brunner as a glorious, messianic hermaphrodite is changed, bizarrely, to that of a sarcastic caveman, altering the ending dramatically and rendering it almost unrecognizable.

Michael Moorcock

Michael John Moorcock (born 18 December 1939) is an English writer, primarily of science fiction and fantasy, who has also published literary novels.

He is best known for his novels about the character Elric of Melniboné, a seminal influence on the field of fantasy in the 1960s and 1970s.

As editor of the controversial British science fiction magazine *New Worlds*, from May 1964 until March 1971 and then again from 1976 to 1996, Moorcock fostered the development of the science fiction "New Wave" in the UK and indirectly in the United States. His publication of *Bug Jack Barron* by *Norman Spinrad* as a serial novel was notorious; in Parliament some British MPs condemned the *Arts Council* for funding the magazine.

In 2008, *The Times* newspaper named Moorcock in its list of "The 50 greatest *British writers* since 1945".

Game of Time

**The Game of Time** is one name for the Multiversal struggle for control of the Cosmic Balance. It is nothing less than the wagering of players' souls for the chance to change the Human Condition, to alter the very nature of reality. It is played at all scales of the Multiverse, and it may be experienced as open war, a tournament, or even an actual game involving wagers over the unfolding histories of simulated, quasi-real universes.

A player in the game of time is called a Jugadore. The Game is played by the forces of Law and Chaos, and various renegade factions, all attempting to gain control of the Cosmic Balance for their faction or sub-faction. There are also those who play not to control the Cosmic Balance but to uphold it and preserve it.

The Game of Time, in its purest form, is experienced as an eternal Multiversal war being raged across the near infinity of the Second Ether, Principally between the Chaos Engineers and the Singularity. The Rose Von Bek, Gaynor the Damned and the Eternal Champion are all principal players in the Game of Time as well.

The Game of Time could result in the ultimate triumph of Law's Singularity and their Original Insect, or the ultimate triumph of Chaos as Entropy devours the Multiverse. It could also result in ultimate freedom for Humanity and the other mortal and immortal races of the Multiverse.
Camp of Chaos

The **Camp of Chaos** was a great hellish encampment established by the forces of Chaos after conquering Elric's World. The encampment, which later became a fortified city, was located on the site where the mortal city of Karlaak once stood.

Bellbane

**Bellbane** is the name of a Mist Giant that Elric fought in the Marshes of the Mist during his quest for the Dead Gods' Book. Bellbane was sent by Orunlu the Chaos Lord to attack Elric in order to prevent him and Shaarilla from obtaining the book.

M'v Okom Sebpt O'Riley

**M'v Okom Sebpt O'Riley**, commonly referred to only as **O'Riley**, is the Gunholder of the Qui Lors Venturers and an incarnation of the Eternal Champion. She is a Chaos Engineer, and is responsible for summoning Eric Beck to his duty as Champion. O'Riley wields the Banning Gun, a soul stealing pistol which is an aspect of the Black Sword.

## Background

O'Riley was first mentioned in a list of aspects of the Eternal Champion given in The Dragon in the Sword, in which she was named "M'v Okom Sebpt O'Riley, Gunholder of the Qui Lors Venturers". Her first actual appearance, though, was not in a Moorcock novel, but in the graphic novel Elric: The Balance Lost. In it, she was fleshed out as a member of a crew of Chaos Engineers who manned a Scaling Ship called The Mandelbrot Sex. Due to the destruction of the Cosmic Balance, her world was destroyed by the Straight Arrow Fleet of the Singularity, and she was its sole survivor.

## Elric: The Balance Lost

She fled to Eric Beck's world to save him from the forces of Law there, to help him retrieve his Black Sword Murakamo-No-Tsurugi, and to ensure he followed down the path of his destiny as the Eternal Champion. Unfortunately, it cost her her life, as she was forced to sacrifice her own soul to power the Banning Gun to prevent Eric's brother from killing him, and she died in his arms. Eric took her Banning Gun, and wielded it in battle for a time, until he ultimately discarded it just outside the walls of Tanelorn. He related these events to Captain Billy-Bob Begg, who apparently knew O'Riley, and was surprised she'd survived the Venturers' destruction.
Balwyn Moor

**Balwyn Moor** is a region of hills and moorland in the Fifteen Planes. It was in Balwyn Moor that Elric, Corum, and Erekosë were gathered together from throughout the Multiverse in order to seek the Vanishing Tower in the nearby valley of Darkvale.

Brut of Lashmar

**Brut of Lashmar** is a human warrior who was part of the strike team led by Elric, Corum, Hawkmoon, and Erekosë in the battle against the alien sorcerers Agak and Gagak. He was part of the unit commanded by Elric, and like several others on the team he was searching for Tanelorn before he boarded the Dark Ship. Brut is a massively built man with blond hair and beard and blue eyes. He is from the city of Lashmar in the Young Kingdoms nation of Dharijor where his noble family holds land. He has a strong dislike of sorcery, for it was sorcery that somehow resulted in his fall from grace and forced him to leave his homeland under a cloud of guilt.

Brut eventually became a resident of Tanelorn. He was part of a caravan led by Rackhir that set out from the city to obtain supplies in Jadmar. On the return trip from Jadmar the caravan was attacked by Theleb K'aarna and a beggar army from Nadsokor under King Urish. Elric and Moonglum came to the caravan's aid and the attackers were defeated.

Later when Tanelorn was besieged by the beggar army led by Narjhan the Chaos Lord, Brut led the defence of the city while Rackhir set out to seek supernatural assistance from the Grey Lords. Brut survived the conflict and fought using his battle axe and spiked mace.

Pahl Bewchard

**Pahl Bewchard** is the merchant lord of Narleen and a friend and ally to Dorian Hawkmoon and Huilliam D'Averc. He helped them claim the Sword of the Dawn from the Pirate Lords of Starvel. In Elric: The Balance Lost, he aids them in purging Narleen of a resurgence of the Beast Lords by the Order of the Fly, who slay Bewchard in their initial battle.
Cold Sword

**The Cold Sword** is a manifestation of the Black Sword and the blade of Urlik Skarsol. It is referred to as "the whole sword", meaning it is not merely a shadow or diluted aspect of the Black Sword (Like Kanajana), but contains all of its power. As such, it is fully sentient and extremely malevolent, and like Stormbringer, will slay those it chooses at its own whim, presumably stealing their souls in the process. It is a huge black broadsword made of an alien black metal and inscribed with runes. It howls and screams as it is wielded and its blade is described as being horribly cold.

## Trivia

* A song titled *The Cold Sword* appears on the album The Armor of Ire by the American Epic Heavy/Power Metal band Eternal Champion.
Oona Von Bek

**Countess Oona Von Bek, the Dreamthief's Daughter**, is the daughter of Elric of Melniboné and Oone the Dreamthief, twin sister to Onric, wife of Ulric Von Bek, and a traveler of the Multiverse.

## Una Persson

Oonagh von Bek, the adopted granddaughter of Oona and Ulric von Bek, stated:

*"I know most of it's true, because I heard the parts I didn't experience myself from Una Persson, as she calls herself now, that mysterious adventuress who spends so much of her time in eastern Europe and never seems to age."* **-The White Wolf's Son**

This suggests that Una Persson may in fact be a disguise of Oona, or more likely, her mother, Oone the dreamthief (since she also looks and acts like her)
Niun

**Niun** (or **Niun Who Knew All**) is a sorcerer who lives in the city of Ameeron in the dark netherworld beyond the Shade Gate. Before arriving there, he had a desire to know everything there was to know, all the secrets of the Multiverse, until his explorations brought him into contact with Orland of the Staff. Orland showed the presumptuous Niun the error of his ways and exiled him to the netherworld. Niun made a pact with Orland stating that he could return from his exile if he allowed himself to gradually forget, through the passing of time, everything he had ever learned. It remains to be seen whether Niun will remember that he will be allowed to leave.

Boatmen of Xerlerenes

The **Boatmen of Xerlerenes** are a race of mortal beings similar to humans with black skin and beards. They inhabit an unnamed world populated by air elementals, reached by going through a dimensional gate in the Valley of Currents in the Domain of the Grey Lords. The Boatmen own a fleet of twenty to thirty sailing ships that can defy gravity and sail through the air. They live aboard these magical ships floating high in the air above the Mountains of Xerlerenes, and though the ships can defy gravity the Boatmen themselves do not have this ability. Their captain is named Friagho.

The Boatmen of Xerlerenes came to the aid of Rackhir and helped him defend Tanelorn against Narjhan the Chaos Lord and the beggar army of Nadsokor. They fight using a variety of weapons including curved swords, axes, barbed tridents, long harpoons, and nets made of steel mesh to capture opponents.

Magum Colim

**Magum Colim** is the Grand Admiral of the Melnibonéan navy and a close friend of Elric. He has known Elric his entire life and encouraged him to learn about naval warfare and commanding warships. Inwardly he feels that Elric may be too scholarly and introspective to be an effective ruler, but nonetheless remains loyal to him and has always acknowledged his right to the Ruby Throne. Magum Colim served as Regent when Elric and Dyvim Tvar set out on their quest to rescue the kidnapped Cymoril from her brother Yyrkoon. In battle, Magum Colim wears sea green armour and commands the navy from the flagship of the fleet, *The Son of the Pyaray*. He is counted among the Dragon Princes of Melniboné.

Balo

**Balo the Jester** is the Court Jester to the Lords of Chaos. He is of demigod status and not a true Chaos Lord, and is the only god able to move between the Realms of Law and Chaos at will. He entertains the Chaos Lords, his masters, with humorous riddles and satires that serve to explain the nature of the Cosmic Balance. Balo juggles enigmas like baubles, laughs at what Chaos holds dear, and takes seriously that which they mock. However, not even the Lords of the Higher Worlds understand his true motives.

Balo made a distasteful joke that offended the Chaos Lords so he fled from them to Elric's World where he attempted to transform the physical world into a Realm of Paradox under his rule. Elric confronted Balo inside the jester's Singing Citadel and summoned Arioch to take Balo back to the Realm of Chaos. There the mischievous godling was punished for his foolish ambition that contradicted the Chaos Lords' own plans for Earth.

Black Jewel

**The Black Jewel** is a sorcerous jewel embedded into Duke Dorian Hawkmoon's skull. It is a manifestation of the Black Sword and therefore an Object of Power. After the final battle between the company of the Runestaff and the Beast Men of Granbretan, Countess Flana had Baron Kalan remove the jewel from Hawkmoon's skull. In Book 3 of The Quest for Tanelorn, an entity calling itself Sword identified the jewel as one of its two possible vessels, the other being Black Swords like Stormbringer and the Cold Sword. It was ultimately destroyed with the Runestaff by Dorian and Erekosë in their final battle for the Cosmic Balance at Tanelorn. Another version of the Jewel may possibly exist following a similar battle in The White Wolf's Son in which Dorian was killed instead.
