While he goes through long periods of relative quiet, he is doomed to always have destruction and strife as constant companions in his quest for balancing chaos and law. Just like your ordinary human, the Eternal Champion who lives in the different world, times, and dimensions fights for Cosmic Balance, even as he is often unaware of his role even sometimes struggling against it in vain.
The three aspects of balance, chaos, and law are seemingly non-sentient forces that provide the different representatives and champions with their power. It is important that balance be maintained since having one dominate would result in a multiverse that is totally formless, or permanently static. The Eternal Champion fictional multiverse has several universes with a universal struggle for Law and Chaos, the two main forces that influence the Moorcock worlds.
Even though all of his protagonists are Eternal Champions, they often interact with each other across space and time through visions, dreams, and soirees. It is the job of the Eternal Champion who takes various incarnations both bad and good, to ensure that the universe is in balance. The novels are set in a singular realm of countless multilayered dimensions where chaos and law are in a constant struggle for supremacy. Even though Moorcock’s works have been re titled, repackaged, and reordered, a dozen times they are connected by the multiverse. Going back and forth between the series, the author would write in different multiverses and from character to character over the years. The first novel published in the series was the 1970 published titular novel “Eternal Champion”, that went on to spawn the tens of characters and novels in the series. The different incarnations of the Eternal Champion appear in several of his series of novels that include Jerry Cornelius, The Dancers, Gloriana, Hawkmoon, Corum, and the most popular Elric. In this regard, he made the Eternal Champion character, who is the lead protagonist in most of his multiverse works.
With a belief that science fiction and fantasy need to include all orientations, genders, and races Moorcock developed the idea of a confused paradoxical being struggling to find balance in an unordered world.
The Eternal Champion series is a series of literary works by Michael Moorcock, the influential and celebrated author of fantasy and science fiction from England.
