Synopsis

She did not want to tie her fate to the dreaded Staff of the Necromancer. The first book of The Rogues, by the Origins Award-winning game designer and author Edward Bolme. The Rogues was a series of stand-alone adventures about the people who survive on the fringes and in the shadows of the Forgotten Realms, each focused on the rogue character class and all set in the Old Empires, a region never before explored in the novels.

Where it sits

Notes

  • From the series record (The Rogues): A 4-book 2003-2004 multi-author companion collection to The Nobles/The Harpers/The Priests/The Wizards, each following a different rogue: Edward Bolme, Richard Lee Byers, Voronica Whitney-Robinson, Don Bassingthwaite.

Neighbouring works

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.

  • Internal chronology, within Forgotten Realms: position 20 of 215: previous Blackstaff (2006) · next Blackstaff Tower (2008)
