Elric: The White Wolf

Cymoril, his cousin, lover and queen, ruled by his side, though her brother Yyrkoon was full of contempt for Elric and plotted to overthrow him. Failing to do so, Yyrkoon kidnapped Cymoril, and in his rage, Elric summoned the Lord of Chaos, Arioch, paying for his service with the souls of his slaughtered people.

Using Aricoh to guide him, Elric took an army across the Young Kingdoms to search for Yyrkoon and his beloved Cymoril. But their party was manipulated by the elemental Kings of the Sea and the Earth, and most died at their hands.

Resolute in his goal, defying prophecies that he would destroy his people and kill the woman he loves, Elric found Yyrkoon, who immediately stabbed Cymoril. To save her life, Elric defeated Yyrkoon with the sword Stormbringer, given to him by Arioch.

But there was a price. Elric was consumed by the cursed sword, needing souls to feed on. Fearing the prophecy would now come true, he left Melnibone in the hands of Yyrkoon, with Cymroil distraught and cursing his name.

Elric the White Wolf is now in a self imposed exile from his home on the Dragon Isle, seeking solace in isolation, hoping to escape the horrors of his past. But with the power of furious gods, and his sword Stormbringer hungry for souls, he can never be free of the darkness. Not when it lives inside him…
