This also again shows how well travelled they all are as well as adding in easter eggs tying things into other events neatly placing the stories in between them!

Rule your growing realm with an iron fist, fortify the stronghold, and avoid getting stabbed in the back by your advisors! Despite his death, he seemingly resurfaced twenty years later, kidnapping Princess Alethea at the day when she and Oersted were engaged.There is a wealth of literary, folkloric, and theological precedent for the idea of a dark lord, including the Celtic Balor, [2] the Christian Lucifer, (known in Latin as the Princeps Tenebrarum, the Prince of Darkness in Milton's Paradise Lost) and various other chthonic figures or evil kings and sorcerers. Each story adds depth and nuance to the author’s most celebrated characters, including Ibram Gaunt, Gregor Eisenhorn, Horus Aximand, Shadrak Meduson and many more. The Dark Lord cutscene gives off villain vibes and the common concensus is usually that Linking the Fire is the best option, but is the Age of Dark that bad? We get tales from the Hours Heresy as well that really show the conflict from both sides and what it is costing to everyone involved in it! It was said that he kidnapped the queen of Lucrece, still pregnant with Alethea, until Hasshe and Uranus came and slew the demon, rescuing the queen.

It is full of gripping stories that have a really feel to them and put you right in there with the characters!

Lord of the Dark Millennium: The Dan Abnett Collection hopping around the timeline as well works brilliantly and is reminiscent of Conan, The Expanse etc as it uses this arrangement! Lordran is seen to be a bleak place where many have died attempting to achieve the prophecy and undead are corralled, lead to the north and locked away.

The Dark Lord, Dark Power or the Enemy were names given to the two major foes of the Free Peoples of Middle-earth: Morgoth, the mighty rebel Vala, and Sauron, the great subversive Maia. Lord of the Dark Millennium: The Dan Abnett Collection stories really fill in the gaps of the characters covering points not necessarily covered in other works and really expanding on those gaps in the various characters past! Anspach and Butler acknowledge the existence of each other's lists, and state that their two lists have been so cross-pollinated over the years as to become effectively identical.Then one day, Joe woke up and decided to cut his dick off, he was just that disgusted with himself, man! Most of the stories are tie-ins to Abnett's major series; the Horus Heresy, Eisenhorn/Ravenor and Gaunt's Ghosts. He first tried to subdue the Free Peoples with the Rings of Power, disguised as Annatar, but after being discovered, he began conquering Middle-earth with military power, also taking pretentious titles like "Lord of the Earth" as its self-styled ruler. Just throwing an idea out there, it might turn out I've been kicking a dead horse, might've got stuff wrong, whatever it is, would be cool to hear what everyone thinks. The later-produced and more famous version of the list was compiled in 1994 by Peter Anspach (hence it is occasionally titled "Peter's Evil Overlord List") based on informal discussions at conventions and on online bulletin boards in the early 1990s, [10] and has subsequently become one of the best-known parodies of bad SF/F writing, frequently referenced online.
