If you haven't already checked out Erikson's reddit Ask Me Anything - do so now :sad: He's answered some 300+ questions, and also revealed all three titles for the Kharkanas trilogy. We already knew Forge of Darkness, but the other two will be:

Fall of Light

Walk in Shadow


Forge of Darkness will apparently be released in August, with Fall of Light following two years later.

Interesting...

I wonder if this means that each book will be taking place primarily in a different realm. Obviously KG for the first and then maybe KL and KE for the second and third.
So, you're the historian who survived the Chain of Dogs.
Actually, I didn't.

It seems you stand alone.
It was ever thus.

Hopefully we'll get a map of the three Kurald warrens then, and maybe one showcasing Kharkanas. I mean they are all worlds seperate from Wu with their own geography so why not? Do the ligth and shadow realms also have their capital cities like Kharkanas?

I suspect more likely to be referring to the stages in history of the Tiste - Forge of Darkness being the Andii alone in Darkness, Fall of Light the coming of Light into Darkness and probably MD turning from the Andii, Walk in Shadow then being the aftermath of the coming of light, the discovery of Shadow and the Tiste coming to terms with living with the now 3 realms rather than one.

Hopefully we will get some actual disgusting ascendant/god/Eleint sex scenes so we finally learn the mechanics of it all...something SE has kept in his back pocket for too long.

That's wishful thinking, my friend. Wishful thinking.

Sounds like we will have a big jump in time between each novel. It will be interesting to see how Erikson writes these books in comparison with MBOTF. Maybe each book will be written a little like a history book, telling stories that span hundreds or thousands of years. Looking forward to August.

Ok, I'm done.

I doubt it will be something like the Silmarillion. I think it will be written ina similar style to waht we had until now, just set in a different timeframe.

This seems about right.

When I first read it I thought the Walk in Shadow was going to be about the march from the Kuralds into Wu by either Tulas Shorn or Scabby etc. Also Fall of Light could be whatever happened to FL after MD turned away and led to the Liosan isolationism.

To be honest these titles could be anything. They likely cover the rise of the Tiste peoples but other than that we dont know.

You're going to learn some heavy shit about the Elder days and the Tiste peoples in the upcoming books.

Fun to read these posts, in retrospect :rolleyes: Has Erikson said that there will be a time gap before Fall of Light?
