i added a section showing the drenai series on cronological order- Im not sure about the swords of night and day but I assume they happened long after all of the other books --Rick browne 14:31, 27 July 2005 (UTC)
The SONAD books take place 1000 years after the time of Druss. -- Dave Hughes 17:03, 11 October 1005
[edit] Series
Was Knights of Dark Reknown and Morningstar part of the same series? I am sure they are mentioned as such in Morningstar.
- There are references in one of the books to stuff happening in the other, but they have independent plots. --Kristjan Wager 19:02, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
Could not the same be said about many of his Drenai books? Waylander for example has different plots to Legend or White Wolf. But in fairness his books themselves list Morningstar and Knights of Dark reknown as independant books.darkie
- Knights of Dark Reknown and Morningstar happen in the same world (there are definite references in Morningstar to the events in KODR), and they both also take place in the Drenai world, several hundred (or thousand) years before Waylander. The country Lentria exists in both continuities and there are a few other subtle similarities to be found if memory serves.
- There are definite references to KODR in the Second Skilgannon book, meaning that all three are part of the same world, meaning that these are all Drenai books.
Also, i'm pretty sure, (but not sure enough to edit the page,) that Jarek Mace is referred to in the Rigante series, which also has the same name for the pseudo english that is used in Morningstar. user:The_Sando
[edit] Wolf in Shadow
Was reading Wolf in Shadow recently, was David Gemmell a religous man? I suspect not, but I was having trouble enjoying the book on that basis. If he was religious, which again I suspect not, that could be added to the article, as if someone has religious motivations behind summat they do it is always very important that those motivations be reported JayKeaton 05:04, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
Yes, he was a Christian who attended church regularly, however his personal faith was often at odds with various doctrines of his church which I think was a Presbyterian, but may have been C.O.E. I'll see if I can dig up the interveiws before I add it though. user:The_Sando
