+===From the Introduction===
-The Young Kingdoms is a place of constant strife. Armies stand ready for war, merchants and kings grasp as much power as they can hold, opposing re1igions trade ideological insults, and sorcerers peer between the veils of reality for new and hideous demons to summon forth. It is the world which Elric inherits, and which he eventually destroys.

It is the world which Elric inherits, and which he eventually destroys.
 This book introduces five particular perils of the Young Kingdoms. Two are places, desolate spots of misery and despair. Two are objects, of spectacular power and terrible portent. The last is a magical phenomenon of Primal Chaos which brings new dangers from beyond the Young Kingdoms. All of them offer danger and reward for any band of adventurers
