Hi. I'm a longtime fan of the Elric books and Mr. Moorcock's fiction worldview in general. I recently picked up the Elric of Melnibone audiobook for my long commutes and now I'm reading the newest trilogy.
I'm from Lovecraft's Providence, Rhode Island where the receeding edges are still a bit chaotic.
My first question (after searching the FAQs and reading the rules) is there any origin story of Stormbringer? I was watching a history channel episode about samurai swordmaking, with stories how the master swordsmith's would meditate for a year under a waterfall before forging a sword, and thought of the origin of Stormbringer and Mournblade.
Have there been any accounts of how demon/sword were folded together? Perhaps some treachery from an ancient Melnibonean emperor. Black Carbon was folded into steel by ancient swordsmiths, and I thought it would be great to read an account of how the Black Demon essense had been folded into a sword, perhaps at first as a flattery, but in fact, as a cruel Melnibonean trick or trap? Or a story of how the blades end up in the pulsing cavern?
Anyway. Let me know if such a tale exists, I'd love to read it, or hear what Mr. Moorcock has to say about the subject.
Thanks!
