Literature

An index of works, mostly stories, for which Avishraa and its universe are the setting but which have no in-setting existence. Texts presented as having an existence and authorship within the setting are instead found in the item:text namespace. RP sessions should not be included, instead appearing in the sessions namespace; nor of course should encyclopedic articles, to which most of the rest of this wiki will be devoted.

Works can be added while still in development. These should be marked Incomplete in the Status column, with the date of last update marked in the appropriate column. A completed work should be changed to Complete.

“Canonicity” is a somewhat nebulous concept at this point, but a tentative scheme is as follows:

• Canon: though an element of stylistic flavor may be present, the specific events depicted in the work are known to have happened in the history of the setting. The 'present day' at which this cuts off is not a hard date, but is not very long into the period covered by the Journey to the North RP arc; events after the beginning of 85 Cloud or so should be scrutinized in this respect.
• What-If: the events depicted in the work represent an alternate timeline from some point of divergence in Avishraa's past; they did not happen, but could have.
• Wrath Era: the events depicted occur in the most likely set of the possible futures proceeding from the canonical 'present day' mentioned above, in which Dlyss leads the Citadel to possibly-apocalyptic war against the takmar, the xtauh redevelop enchantment to the point of a technological revolution that catapults them to prominence, and the spread of linking books leads to exploration and colonization of worlds beyond Avishraa.
• Star Era: the events depicted occur in a set of possible futures proceeding from contact with the Safir Alliance around or shortly after the canonical 'present day'. The effects on Avishraan societies are wide-ranging and profound; Dlyss' war is somewhat forestalled, but her new priority becomes to remove or at least weaken the Alliance as an obstacle to her plans.
