Google's translator seems to have done a bit better:

Well, I wouldn't say it was "editioning us to death". SB1 - 2 was basically an errata update and reprint, and they were 4 years apart (1981/1985). SB3 was pretty much a Europe only version put out by GW that combined the corebook and the Companion into one hardback (1987). This would most...

Usually sunny San Diego, CA, US. As it states in my "Location" field. -V

Not to nitpick, but Stormbringer 4th preceded Elric! by a few years. I think you meant Elric!/Stormbringer 5th. And, many find that Elric! is much better organized and cleaner than SB5. There were also some minor tweaks done... -V

That ain't me :) -V

That's what I'm here for ;) -V

The ancestor was Iuntric X, who was Terhali's father (an unnamed demon was her mother, and apparently she had a brother named Sactric who appears in one of the Corum tales with her). -V

So far I got an indirect reply from John Davey, who co-edited the White Wolf omnibus editions. He asked Mike about the fact that in the original editions of King of Swords, the spelling was Yrkoon. To the best of his recollection, he asked if the alternate spelling was intentional, to...

Actually, I am second guessing myself as to timeline issues. In the Elric saga, Elric first encounters Corum before Yyrkoon is slain. In this meeting (Agak and Gagak), Corum recognizes Elric from before (Voilodion Ghagnasdiak). In the Corum saga, the summoning occurs just before the Voilodion...

Well, I may have been wrong. It appears the summoning occurs before the second meeting of Elric and Corum in the Corum timeline (which means after the first meeting in the Elric timeline). This is, as you intimate, the timelines are linear between events. But that is, again, up to the...

Perhaps. But, as Yyrkoon mentions in the Elric saga, there is a trade off for power, and part of that trade off is losing some of your soul to Chaos. He may be using "human" to relate to Ertil the cost/risk of continually making pacts. I'll have to check, but I believe this exchange occurs...

Yyrkoon is summoned by the Nhadragh sorceror Ertil at Earl Glandeth's behest at the end of Book One, Chapter Four, in King of Swords. -V

I'll see if I can hunt up the reference. But I do believe Mike made this point very clear a few times. -V

Now kids - no fighting :) -V

The "demon" on Urish's throne was not Arioch originally, but a demon summoned by Theleb K'aarna. Arioch replaced it at some point. Also, it bears noting that "demons" are really denizens of the Multiverse. In Corum, a Nhadragh sorceror summons a "demon" who turns out to be Prince Yyrkoon. -V
