  • The Sleeping Sorceress
  • The Bane of the Black Sword
  • Stormbringer
Did i get the early Elric stories in the correct order chronowise?
If you mean chronologically within the series, then the answer is "almost". The Fortress of the Pearl comes between Elric of Melniboné and The Sailor on the Seas of Fate, and The Revenge of the Rose comes between The Vanishing Tower (a.k.a. The Sleeping Sorceress) and Bane of the Black Sword. "The Last Enchantment" comes just before "To Rescue Tanelorn" (in Bane). ("Elric at the End of Time" can be seen as either part of the Elric series or --more logically, I think -- as part of the Dancers at the End of Time sequence.)

If you mean "chronologically" as far as publication... hoo, boy! That's an entirely different thread, as these stories have been (like Howard's Conan tales) written completely out of order as concerns Elric's life....
