* MoralDissonance: Anaya abducted Mackelli from an outlying Silvanesti farm when he was a baby. She isn't planning to make him the next Guardian because the rules apparently dictate that the mantle must be accepted by a female (she didn't notice his gender when she ran off with him). There's nothing to indicate that his parents were abusive or neglectful. You'd think someone would have brought it up at some point that, you know, they should at least let them know he's not dead.

In ''Firstborn,'' the Speaker of the Stars, Sithel, only son of Silvanos, the founder of Silvanesti, has twin sons born to him, a rarity among elves. Kith-Kanan leaves Silvanesti in a rage when he learns that his brother Sithas, older by several minutes and thus heir to the throne, has been promised by his father in marriage to his love, Hermathaya. He leaves for the Greenwood, a primeval forest far beyond Silvanesti's borders and falls in love with the forest guardian, a Kagonesti named Anaya.

Following an Ergoth attack, Anaya suffers a mortal wound and becomes a tree, telling Kith that their child that she is pregnant with will be born a long time from the present day.

''Kinslayer Wars'' pits Kith-Kanan against the human general Giarna and the army of Ergoth. After suffering several defeats due to the vastly greater human numbers, Kith and Sithas go deep into the mountains and use a scroll with a spell given to them by a priest of Gilean to take control of a large group of Griffons. They also battle Hill Giants, befriending one named One-Tooth. The newly-christened Windriders devastate Ergoth's army but the war drags on for decades afterwards due to the enormous reserves that the humans can continue to send and the incredibly hostile weather on the plains. Kith and Giarna's lover Suzine come to care for each other and she bears him two children, Ulvian and Verhanna. The war finally ends when Giarna is slain in battle by One-Tooth. Sithas and Kith-Kanan part ways, with Kith-Kanan founding a new nation because Sithas and the rest of the "pure" Silvanesti do not want their homeland "tainted" by the humans, half-elves and Kagonesti that Kith has come to respect which inhabit the western parts of the realm.
The final novel ''Qualinesti'' is the history of the new nation, with Kith-Kanan struggling with a sucession crisis due to his corrupt son. Hiddukel warns Kith that a force older than the gods, the First Chaos, threatens Qualinesti and all of Krynn.
