Originally posted by dasNdanger View PostYes - fantasy, 'swords and sorcery' fantasy, to be exact, written back in the 60s and 70s by Michael Moorcock. There is a new release of the Elric Saga through Del Rey books, and because of my love for Wraith, and Nuada, Sparrow_hawk suggested I read it, since I love these poor tortured, self-condemning antihero types...and pale things.

Elric OT:
Spoiler:The first full story is Elric of Melniboné, and I recommend reading that first. Here is a rough chronology (they were not published in chronological order, which caused me a lot of confusion at first):
(I) Elric of Melniboné
Book 1
Book 2
Book 3
The Fortress of the Pearl
(II) The Sailor on the Seas of Fate
Book One: Sailing To the Future
Book Two: Sailing To the Present
Book Three: Sailing To the Past
(III) The Weird of the White Wolf
Prologue: The Dream of Earl Aubec
Book One: The Dreaming City
Book Two: While the Gods Laugh
Book Three: The Singing Citadel
(IV) The Vanishing Tower (The Sleeping Sorceress)
Book One: The Torment of the Last Lord
Book Two: To Snare the Pale Prince
Book Three: Three heroes With a Single Aim
The Revenge of the Rose
(V) The Bane of the Black Sword
Book One: The Stealer of Souls
Book Two: Kings in Darkness
Book Three: The Flamebringers (aka The Caravan of Forgotten Dreams)
Epilogue: To Rescue Tanelorn
(VI) Stormbringer
Book One: Dead God's Homecoming
Book Two: Black Sword's Brothers
Book Three: Sad Giant's Shield
Book Four: Doomed Lord's Passing
You can find a lot of info on wiki - but it's loaded with spoilers, so beware. There are additional stories to these, but these are the main ones, with the exception of The Fortress of the Pearl and The Revenge of the Rose, both of which were written much later.
The first story, Elric of Melniboné, is in Vol. 3 of the new Del Rey series: http://www.multiverse.org/wiki/index...8collection%29
This is the entire series to date:
http://www.multiverse.org/wiki/index...Melnibon%C3%A9
Wraith, Wraith, Wraith.

WraithHumor too although he's been so busy with his classes that we haven'lt seen much of him since classes started. Someone else was briefly over there and came over here, but I can't remember who it was. That's all the wraithy people I know of that made the transfer or go back and forth between the two forums.
I know Draygon, she's one of my best friends over here, helped me a lot . And about the other, i wish to see the "wraithy people" united here .

Originally posted by Wraith Cake View PostIThank you! I wonder if these names are known fan wide. .
Originally posted by Wraith Cake View PostBecause then I can refer to them in my essay. Otherwise I'm going to end up saying "the wraith from such an such episode" which is a little cumbersome to constantly state

The above album has three very obscure Wraith whio were named by Wraith Worshippers Anonymous players. Alec is one of the two faced males leading a line of warriors in The Seige while Ian and Ray were the two Wraith with Vincent in Travellers. They were in the corridor with him before getting sucked out into space.
Not that my own albums are complete yet - I forgot to put Edgar in so am now off to do it.sigpic

It's on naamiaiset's page but I failed to spot it in screen caps from The Queen.

Besides, if my memory serves me correctly you have been promised enjoyment from a movie. I don’t think it was a kind of evil joke.~ Created by Draygon ~
