Corum Jhaelen Irsei is the name of a fantasy hero in a series of books written by Michael Moorcock . Corum is an aspect of Moorcock's Eternal Champion and is therefore related to some of his other characters, such as Elric Of Melniboné and Dorian Hawkmoon . His books also draw heavily on ancient Celtic mythology, especially the second trilogy. Corum himself is the last of an ancient race called the Vadhagh (elves), who are slaughtered by the new race of Mabden (humans). He was a prince of his people - Corum Jhaelen Irsei, the Prince in the Scarlet Robe. CORUM NOVELS Corum is the protagonist of the following Moorcock novels:
The first three novels have been published in the UK under the omnibus title ''Corum'', and the second three under the omnibus title ''The Prince with the Silver Hand''. In the US, the omnibus titles are '' The Swords Trilogy '' and ''The Chronicles of Corum'', respectively.
