Hey, all.
Either it's my brain refusing to except the complexity/simplicity of the multiverse, or I've missed something entirely...
OK, the issue is regarding Gaynor the Damned - a rather splendid character, if I may say so. My question is probably something of continuity (although I should by now realise that the multiverse doesn't particularly follow a linear path) where he is concerned.
If I remember rightly, Elric first came across Gaynor in Revenge Of the Rose, where he had already the earned end of his name, yet in The Dreamthiefs Daughter, Elric is already familiar with him, but it is in this tale that he gets 'The Damned' added to his title. Of course, his appearance in Corum's tale could fit in at around the same time or after the events of The Dreamthief's Daughter. Thinking about it, that would probably be afterwards - Corum lifting his mask suddenly makes more sense.
I'm a little confuddled, I must say. The huge scope of Moorcock's work has never left me feeling confused up until now, as no matter what order I read the books in, things always slot into place.
Is it just me? :?
