I don’t really know what /sffg/‘s consensus is on Elric of Melnibone, but I’ve noticed that GRRM seems to have based a bunch of Valyrian lore off of Elric and the Melniboneans. I’m halfway through Fortress if the Pearl right now, and the entire beginning sequence of it is essentially the Qarth plotline of Daenerys.

Quarzhasaat. Qarth. Both are ruled by an oligarchic council and are in the middle of a barren desert. I’ve heard that the author of The Witcher gets called out for the similarities between Geralt and Elric, but I’ve never heard anyone rip on GRRM for this. Should I expect more of this as I continue through the Elric series?
