Spelling/grammar fix(es)


The Corum series is composed of two distinct trilogies. The first trilogy involves the war of OrderVersusChaos, with the Lords of Chaos warring with the Lords of Law for control of the world. Having seen his entire race destroyed at the whim of the Knight of the Swords and the hands of the newly arrived race of Man (or Mabden, as the series refers to them) -- with he left alive but maimed as the LastOfHisKind -- Corum and later his allies, find themselves caught in the middle of a war between Gods and primal forces, with only their wits -- and some strange gifts Corum recieved from a sorcerer -- to aid them. Major themes of the series include -- in addition to the obvious OrderVersusChaos -- civilisation vs barbarism, the whims of the gods, and whether one person can in fact, challenge a blind and deaf universe.

* Hypocrisy: One of the stated reasons why the people of Lyr-a-Brode hate the Vadagh is that the latter practice witchcraft (in reality, incredibly advanced science). And yet, in "The Queen of Swords" and "The King of Swords", they have absolutely no trouble calling in help from the Lords of Chaos, including summoning hordes of monsters and casting spells.

Tropes are things within the content of the work. A band crafting a song about the work isn't a trope belonging to the work itself.

Added DiffLines:

* RoguesGalleryTransplant: There's some villain overlap with ''Literature/TheElricSaga'':
** Elric has faced most of the gods Corum faced like Arioch and Xiombarg.
** The demon Yrkoon mentions that he used to be mortal, hinting that he might be Elric's similarly named cousin, Yyrkoon.

* OrderVersusChaos: What the original trilogy is built around. The coming of the Lords of Chaos led to the destruction of the Vadhagh and Nhadragh as Arioch, Xiombarg, and Mabelode wiped the slate clean of creations they felt had grown stagnant. This puts the balance so far out of whack however, that the Chaos Lords are free to do as they please, resulting in constant social change and violence in Arioch's realm to an entire world that constantly shifts form in Mabelode's. Corum and his allies struggle to restore the Lords of Law in an effort to end this, while the neutral Cosmic Balance ensures that no one on either side gets too far out of line.
