4 | ANASTIS | ITHOS | Mage Errant – Tsarnassan Silk (Part 1) (Patreon Short Story #7) | March 31, 2020 | |
5 | Mage Errant – Tsarnassan Silk (Part 2) (Patreon Short Story #7.5) | April 6, 2020 | This story is set a few years before the fall of the Ithonian Empire (about 500 years before Mage Errant). You get to find out a lot about one of the more ancient Great Powers of Anastis, and definitely one of the more secretive and cryptic. | ||
6 | ANASTIS | ITHOS | Mage Errant – Who Killed Seltivor Cloudscale? (Patreon Short Story #25) | May 17, 2022 | This story is set two years before the fall of the Ithonian Empire. The city of Greywise is long-since destroyed and abandoned by the time of Mage Errant, but its ruins can be found in the heartland of the Havath Dominion, and the river that once ran alongside it still shares its name. |
7 | ANASTIS | ITHOS | Mage Errant – The Wanderer (Patreon Short Story #8) | June 21, 2020 | |
8 | IOPIS | TERINGIA | This story starts a dozen years after the fall of Imperial Ithos at the hands of Kanderon Crux and the twelve other founders of Skyhold. | ||
9 | ISHVEOS | ISHVEOS | However, the story is being told by a descendant of The Wanderer's brother, many years afterward. | ||
10 | ADDITIONAL WORLDS | ||||
11 | IOPIS | TERINGIA | The Wrack – Replacements (Patreon Short Story #33) | March 4, 2023 | This story is set on the world of Iopis, in the Fractured Duchies in Teringia's west, 5 years before the events of The Wrack. |
12 | IOPIS | TERINGIA | The Wrack | April 23, 2020 | A standalone novel set in the Aetheriad. It is currently unknown when this novel takes place, in relation to Mage Errant. However, the technological advancement of Iopis appears to be far behind other worlds, and The Wanderer was in possession of an item and technique that were in common use during the events of The Wrack. For these reasons, I am placing this work and its short story tie-in alongside The Wanderer. |
13 | IOPIS | TERINGIA | The Last Man (Patreon Short Story #38) | September 25, 2023 | This story is set five years after The Wrack. As an important note, the avalanche responses shown by the characters in this story are NOT best practice in our own world. |
14 | ANASTIS | ITHOS | Mage Errant – Ghost Ship (Part 1) (Patreon Short Story #21) | November 30, 2021 | |
15 | Mage Errant – Ghost Ship (Part 2) (Patreon Short Story #21.5) | December 7, 2021 | This story is set four and a quarter centuries before Mage Errant. | ||

20 | Mage Errant – The Wrong Librarian (Part 2) (Patreon Short Story #9.5) | September 6, 2020 | This story takes place just over a century and a half before the events of Into the Labyrinth. It was written using the I Ching, like Phillip K. Dick used the I Ching to write The Man in the High Castle. | ||
21 | ANASTIS | ITHOS | Mage Errant – The Lich Days of Summer (Patreon Short Story #19) | September 21, 2021 | The Lich Days of Summer is set a century before the events of Mage Errant. |
22 | LIMNUS | ??? | Mage Errant – A Higher Sky (Patreon Short Story #31) | November 6, 2022 | This story is set on the world of Limnus, a century before Mage Errant. |
23 | APOPTIS | ??? | Mage Errant – The Migration (Patreon Short Story #30) | October 16, 2022 | This story is set on Apoptis, within the "same geological era" as Mage Errant. It may be best to read this story after Book 6: Tongue Eater (or at least after the Apoptis events). |
24 | ANASTIS | ITHOS | Galvachren's Guide to Ithonian Funeral Practices (Patreon Short Story #37) | August 31, 2023 | It is currently unknown when this guide was written (or last updated), in relation to Mage Errant. However, many locations that appear in Mage Errant are referenced here, and therefore is likely some time after the fall of the Ithonian Empire. |

40 | ANASTIS | ITHOS | Mage Errant – Murder at Ras Andis (Patreon Short Story #3) | October, 2019 | This short story, Murder In Ras Andis, was added to Book 4: The Lost City of Ithos (after the initial release of that book). It was added to the ebook on Sep. 5, 2020, and it was removed from the blog within a few days after that date. This story takes place concurrent with the events of Into the Labyrinth, Book 1 of Mage Errant. |
41 | ANASTIS | ITHOS | Mage Errant – Book 2: The Jewel of the Endless Erg | February 7, 2019 | |
42 | ANASTIS | GELID | Mage Errant – Mudflower Nights (Patreon Short Story #18) | August 25, 2021 | This story is set during the events of Book 2: Jewel of the Endless Erg. |
43 | ANASTIS | ITHOS | Mage Errant – Book 3: A Traitor in Skyhold | August 18, 2019 | |
44 | ANASTIS | ITHOS | Mage Errant – High Stakes (Patreon Short Story #1) | August 16, 2019 | The following story takes place during the events of A Traitor in Skyhold, Book 3 of Mage Errant. It is, in fact, a chapter I removed from A Traitor in Skyhold. While it's a lot of fun, and met with positive response from my beta readers, it didn't move the plot forwards, and messed with the book's momentum a bit. It does, however, stand up pretty well on its own as a story. |
45 | ANASTIS | ITHOS | Mage Errant – Luthe of Clan Castis (Patreon Short Story #14) | January 15, 2021 | This story takes place during the late spring, during the events of Book 3: A Traitor in Skyhold, following Luthe of Clan Castis, Talia's eldest brother. |
46 | ANASTIS | ITHOS | Mage Errant – Gram of Clan Castis (Part 1) (Patreon Short Story #4) | November, 2019 | This novella, Gram of Clan Castis, was included in Book 6: Tongue Eater, and it was removed from the blog upon that release. |
47 | Mage Errant – Gram of Clan Castis (Part 2) (Patreon Short Story #4.5) | December, 2019 | This novella takes place in the late fall, during the events of Book 3: A Traitor in Skyhold, following one of Talia's (many) older brothers, Gram. | ||
48 | ANASTIS | ITHOS | Mage Errant – Boots (Patreon Short Story #11) | October 9, 2020 | This story takes place after Book 3: A Traitor in Skyhold. |
49 | ANASTIS | ITHOS | Mage Errant – The Gorgon Incident (Patreon Short Story #13) | December 22, 2020 | This story takes place after Book 3: A Traitor in Skyhold. The Gorgon Incident is mentioned in Books 2, 3, and 4. In Book 4, Artur states that it was "a few years back". This short story also states that the GI was "a few years back". The main characters were trying to figure out what the GI was in Book 3, but don't question it further when it is mentioned in Book 4. Therefore, it seems best to place this story after Book 3, and before Book 4. |
50 | ANASTIS | ITHOS | Mage Errant – Book 4: The Lost City of Ithos | August 12, 2020 | "Half a millennium ago, the sphinx Kanderon Crux and her allies banished the city of Imperial Ithos from the world of Anastis, in a desperate attempt to defeat the Ithonian Empire." |
