The Elemenstor Cycle

An index of the thirteen books of Tycho Brahe's Elemenstor Saga novella cycle, with a plot summary and links to each book's own page. These tales are the core canon tales of the Elemenstors and the land of Battal, and the touchstone for most other works related to the saga.

See the Availability page for information on hardback and paper back availability of each title.

Also, check out the Excerpts from the cycle that are recounted here.

There is an Elemenstor Cycle specific timeline which attempts to breakdown the core periods covered by the books. Since the books often jump around in time and include many digressions which take place in drastically different periods, only the major linear events are included.

• Book 1: The Fires of Mount Windice (Colloquially, A New Franchise)
• Book 2: Dawn of the Dark Shadows (Colloquially, The Elemenstors Strike Back)
• Book 3: The Rubion Sword (Colloquially, Return of the Cycle)
• Book 4: Curse of the Doombane
• Book 5: The Underpants of the Underdeep
• Book 6: Nightstand's Peril
• Book 7: The Trial at Elddim's Peak (Colloquially, Three Foolish Children)
• Book 8: The Archmagi of Eldersbane
• Book 9: Rise of the Rhjajyept
• Book 10: The Hierarch Wars Begin (Colloquially, Elemenstors Gone Wild, Vol. I)
• Book 11: The Hierarch Wars Continue (Colloquially, Elemenstors Gone Wild, Vol. II)
• Book 12: End of the Hierarch Wars (Colloquially, Elemenstors: Spring Break '2,167) *
• Book 13: Glaivemistress(es) of Arvalyyon (Colloquially, Was He Drunk Or What?)

Rumored:

• Book 14: The Fourteenth Manuscript

Also of note is Book 13 and a Half: The Eternal Timesorc'ley of Middlemoon (Colloquially, I Can't Believe It's Not Canon!), which many believe to be written by Tycho Brahe, but is not generally accepted as canonical.

There are now also 3 re-written versions of Book 1, being Book 1: Epic, Book 1: Extreme and Book 1: Romance, all released for the 10th anniversary of the first book. There is also rumors of a Book 1: Crap, although they are not given much credence.

The controversial but earnest prequel tetralogy, The Harbinger Cycle is considered seperate, but still closely related.

* We're trying to be somewhat authoritative about this. While the penultimate three books of the cycle do indeed bring the epic narrative to a climax with the war of the hierarchs, the nicknames adopted for these episodes by some of the ELotH:TES fan community should not actually replace the real titles so carefully chosen by Mr. Brahe.
