Notes
- From the series record (The Chronicles of the Deryni): The original Deryni trilogy, the first 3 Deryni novels Kurtz published. The wider Deryni setting later grew to further trilogies (Camber of Culdi, Childe Morgan) and additional novels/collections spanning decades -- deliberately not researched or registered, out of scope for now.
