Exordium
On August 13, 1977 Dave Trowbridge and I sat down at his cool little carved table, with wine and other substances to inspire us, candles to write by, and began the Exordium saga. What a long, strange trip it's been! Now all five books are out, but volumes one, two and four are extremely hard to find.
If you'd like to talk with others about the Exordium universe, Chris Weuve has started an Exordium mailing list.

Dreamtime in Desrien
Because of length and production costs, we reluctantly had to cut some of the visions experienced by the Telvarna's crew and passengers on Desrien. These occurred while the Arthelion battle occurred in the Mandala's system.
Here we include the visions that we were not able to get into later books.
On Dave's page we already have Montrose's Vision.
Foreshadowing events in books three and four is Lokri's Vision.
Foreshadowing events in books four and five is Marim's Vision.
Then poor old Osri is dragged, kicking and yelping, into the Dreamtime in Osri's Vision.
Notes on the Panarchy
For the first two chapters of book five, check out Dave's Page.
Ruler of Naught and The Rifter's Covenant have been translated into Russian.
