High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Law and Chaos are the dominant metaphysical forces in the fantasy stories of Michael Moorcock, inspired by the work of Poul Anderson (especially Anderson`s Three Hearts and Three Lions). Law and Chaos are in constant struggle, but they are kept in check by the Cosmic Balance, an even more powerful force for neutrality. The Eternal Champion is doomed to be a pawn for the Balance. In order that he can oppose Chaos and serve the interests of Law throughout the Multiverse, he is reincarnated in the virtually infinite planes of existence.
