Sidereal Wraith

Mournblade to the face.

The Black Company is a very good series and it’s author Glen Cook is considered the father of the grimdark genre. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/140671.The_Black_Company?ac=1&from_search=true&qid=0JhwzMiSg2&rank=1

Some very good suggestions. It’s not a comprehensive list of every great character Howard made, only the series of his I’ve read so far.

Banned for being in High School.

Banned for being a young whipper snapper.

I just help save the world from the ravages of bland fantasy and isekai anime. Hurrah!

Hey kiddos, it's old man Wraith here to talk to you today about some fantasy series worth reading. Bored of Bookwalker? Aghast at anime? Incensed by isekai? Fearful of Fire Emblem? Then let me tell you about the days of high adventure. I'm sure you'll find something to your liking if you look. I've provided links to the audio books of most of these series which you can find on Audible to purchase or on LibriVox and Youtube for free.

So anyway...DragonFlames what are you going to do for your birthday?

War and Storm...Teehee...

Stormbringer to the face!

Yeah, it would be nice.

Has a 3D waifu.

Already has a waifu despite his obsessive tendencies and drunken stupors.

For Sigismund! For Dorn! For the Emperor! Death to the traitors!

Is going to have an insane, boys night out on the town birthday extravaganza come this Friday. @DragonFlames

Fights for the Dark Crusade and rides with the Sacred Band of Stepsons.

Is a thrall to the light and sings in the false choir.

Thinks Soulcatcher is best waifu.

Banned because fine. The heresy has been successfully purged so the world is safe for democracy.

Banned for not using Thunder God Cid in Final Fantasy Tactics.

Still thinks the Limper is best Husbando...

They bore me to tears.

Yeah, but I spend more time reading wholesome literature now you young whipper snapper. My childhood was a long long time ago.
