I used the setting for two games: one set in the independent Young Kingdoms of America, and the other on the Dreaming Isle of Great Britain.  \nIn this world the Lords of Law and Chaos walk among humans, Melnibonean blood mingles with human as the ancient race struggles to hold on to its identity, and Elementals and Beasts hold court. The churches of Law and Chaos are the major political force in the human realm—but they are a facade concealing a reality nearly incomprehensible to humans.  \nThemes  \nfor Earth alone was lawful and constituted of ordered matter, drifting in the sea of Chaos-stuff as it had done for aeons.  \n- from Earl Aubec  \nWe live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far.  \n- from The Call of Cthulhu  \nFrom Lovecraft and Call of Cthulhu we get components of mystery, secrecy, and the Mythos that represents an uncaring universe of vast cosmic forces where man is irrelevant. From Moorcock and Stormbringer we get an Empire in decay, humans as pawns of the Gods, and personal relationships with higher forces through declarations of allegiance to Law, Chaos and the Balance.  \nThere are some thematic clashes to resolve, such as the nature of Gods—is there any relationship between the Outer Gods and the churches of Law and Chaos? Why would the Outer Gods seek human worship or allegiance? Hopefully these will be resolved by the end of this text.  \nBooks and Game Systems  \nIn addition to Moorcock’s Elric stories I recommend the short story Earl Aubec. For Lovecraft I recommend Cthulhu Chick’s omnibus or Project Gutenberg.  \nThe game systems I use are Call of Cthulhu 4th edition, Stormbringer 4th editon and Elric!(aka Stormbringer 5th edition). This is mostly for convenience as it’s easy to take subsystems from the different games and mix them together. But it’s worth acknowledging  \nMongoose’s Elric ofMelnibone RPG (for writing and system, not production quality). For Call of Cthulhu alternatives you can take your pick.  \n Legend  \nIt was as if some enormous sun, thousands of times larger than Earth’s, had sent a ray oflight pulsing through the cosmos, defying the flimsy barriers of Time and Space, to strike upon the great black battlefield.  \n- from Stormbringer  \nWhen Elric blew the Horn ofFate a rent in time and space allowed the Gods of Law to pass into our world and do battle with Chaos. Eventually the power of the Horn swept all gods away and ushered in a new age and new world—a world that becomes our own, both geographically and metaphysically.  \nBut who was Elric, what was Stormbringer, and what was the Horn ofFate?  \nAubec  \nAubec is worth mentioning briefly. Tricked by Myshella, Empress of the Dawn he expanded the borders of the known world, creating Law where there was Chaos. Some consider Aubec to be a proto-Elric; a catalyst that caused the collapse of the Bright Empire and eventual reshaping of the world. There are references to Aubec as Elric’s distant ancestor in at least one credible source.  \nElric  \nThe Church of Law’s version is a moral tale. Elric was a Melnibonean sorcerer who grasped at cosmic forces, upsetting the Balance. He was entombed for his hubris by both Law and Chaos.  \nOther interpretations have Elric as a renegade elder god, a metaphor for the overreaching of the Melnibonean race, a prophet who witnessed the cataclysm at R’lyeh, or even an alien destructive force that united Law and Chaos in opposing it. Law considers many of these are a","cbCaibN9JYicGlDU","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaibN9JYicGlDU","pdf",222008,35,"English","# Introduction\n# Themes\n# Books and Game Systems\n# Legend\n## Aubec\n## Elric\n## R’lyeh\n## Stormbringer","[{\"question\":\"What is the monograph’s core purpose for Elric of R’lyeh?\",\"answer\":\"It distills the author’s notes and presents a combined RPG setting that merges Stormbringer and Call of Cthulhu within an alternate 1920s Earth shaped by Moorcock’s Law and Chaos cosmology.\"},{\"question\":\"How do the churches of Law and Chaos function in the world?\",\"answer\":\"They are described as the major political force in the human realm, but as a facade concealing a reality nearly incomprehensible to humans.\"},{\"question\":\"Which game systems does the monograph reference for playing the setting?\",\"answer\":\"It states the games used are Call of Cthulhu 4th edition, Stormbringer 4th editon, and Elric!
