Notes
- From the series record (The Book of the Short Sun): Follows Horn (from the Long Sun trilogy) years later; the narrator visits 'the Red Sun Whorl' and meets a young Severian, explicitly connecting this trilogy to The Book of the New Sun's opening -- 'the events of that series...commence just as the events of this one are ending.' Registered as Expanded alongside Long Sun: same universe, but a separate storyline and protagonist from Severian's own Core Canon story.

Publication order and internal chronology are tracked as two separate orderings and are never conflated: a book's place in one says nothing about its place in the other.
