ADAPTATIONS BY LATER WRITERS Arioch was a name for a fictional Demon , and also appears as the name of a demon in many Grimoires . An Arioch is also named in John Milton 's '' Paradise Lost '' (vi. 371.) as one of the Fallen Angel s under Satan 's command. Arioch appears in Michael Moorcock 's Fantasy stories about Elric , Hawkmoon and Corum as the name of the patron chaos lord of Elric and his ancestors. He is also known as the "Knight of Swords" and is one of the 3 major deities of Chaos in Moorcook's books about Corum. The other two deities are the Queen Of Swords ( Xiombarg ) and the King Of Swords ( Mabelode The Faceless ). All three deities used mortal pawns like Elric and Corum in their struggle to defeat the Lords of Law. These books have also spawned various pen & paper Role-playing Games such as Chaosium's '' Stormbringer ''. |
