| Well to answer your question without me telling you the answer, try reading the Halls of Stormweather (Sembia Series). He's mentioned in there too. |

AFAI, he starts out being not a 'priest-type'.
Otherwise: I can't answer without spoiling! |

I was thinking about picking up Twilight Falling as it seems to get high praise.From what I've been reading though the characters in it were set-up in previous novels. Could someone tell me the books I'd need to read before starting on Twilight Falling?

Halls of Stormweather has a short story that features Cale and the novel Shadow's Witness stars Cale. They are both a part of the Sembia series. Thus, I should warn you that the beginning of Twilight Falling has a major spoiler in the beginning of the book about what happens in the end of the last Sembia series book, Lord of Stormweather. |

Thanks for the info, bro. So are these Sembia books a continuing story or are they each one offs?

They are independant stories but there ARE points in some which refer back to the previous novels in the series. I HIGHLY recommend that you read them in order. |

I don't think reading them in order is all that important. I didn't, and I still understood everything that was happening with regards to the general 'Sembia' storyline...

It's best to follow Sage's advice, he is a SAGE after all.
You don't have to read the Sembia Series in order of publication as each novel follows one of the main characters life's story. So they don't really follow a chronological order. It's not too difficult to piece together different events mentioned between novels. |

Exactly...
It happens ocassionally with a number of FR novel series that you read. Take the Harpers books for example...it doesn't really matter if they are read in order or not, although it makes sense to leave Thornhold until last...

I haven't read all the Hapers books. They're hard to find. What was the prequel to Thornhold? |

Well, the more recent reprintings of Thornhold make it apart (Book IV) of the 'Songs and Swords' series by Ms. Elaine Cunningham, so I guess that would be the answer...

He also features in two shortstories in Dragon magazine, one of which about his earlier life in Westgate. I can't remember which numbers though (maybe 277 and...??? Rad? Shadow lord?) |

Ah, thank you. I knew there was another one, just couldn't find a reliable reference to what issue it was within. |

Is this the 'prequel'? The one where Cale decides to go to Sembia? I remember reading it, but I can't seem to find it anywhere. |
