Elric of Melnibone RPG Core Rulebook (Runequest RPG)

Of all fantasy empires, the tradition-wrapped kingdom of Melnibone is surely among the best known. The capital of this slowly falling realm is the seat of Elric's empire, Imrryr - the Dreaming City - a place of slender, sky-reaching towers topped by banners that wave in the winds. Beneath Imrryr are the Dragon Caves, where the oath-bound reptilian allies of the Melniboneans slumber and await the call to another war. Mystical ley lines threaded across the land like the veins of the world offer magical power to those to would walk them, and scholar-mages learn of the cosmic balance between the principles of Law and Chaos that govern reality. All the while, from the spires of Imrryr, the albino emperor Elric holds the legendary blade Stormbringer in his hands, watching his world slowly die.
