=== ''Volume VI: The Battle of Blackthorn'' ===
'''''The Battle of Blackthorn''''' is the sixth journal in the ''Travels and Tales'' series. It is to date the longest book in the ''Travels and Tales'' series. The journal entirely opens up by following the immediate build-up towards the siege of Blackthorn, detailing the hasty construction of the city's keep, as well as the defection of the Valtaran royal family to the side of the Tyrant King. The remainder of the book follows the events of the siege, followed by the eventual peace deal and the events that ensue from it, such as the burning down and abandoning of Blackthorn by Rivers and the Interim Council. ''The Battle of Blackthorn'' is notably the final volume in what fans call the "Zydel
=== ''Volume VII: The Lake and the Rivers'' ===
'''''The Lake and the Rivers''''' is the seventh journal in the ''Travels and Tales'' series. After the climax of ''The Battle of Blackthorn'', it was unknown whether or not the journals would continue in their current form, but Rivers' confirmed a few months after the release of the journal that they would, and that a seventh journal was in the works. The journal follows the building of New Blackthorn, or "Zethortal" as it comes to be known, as well as Rivers dealing with her own insecurities and inability to fully handle her struggles, and ends with Rivers' glassing the king of Kalikhan with a bottle and blacking out. The journal took several times longer to come out than its predecessors, which Rivers has since blamed on the "lack of substance" in her life compared to during the Ceyreto-Zydel conflict.

Line 50 ⟶ 49:
* Due to the autobiographical nature of the journals, many of the events of the journals are ever so slightly skewed. In an interview, Rivers' has admitted that while all of the events in the journals are 100% factual, a few minor details about how she acts have been altered. In a later interview, she admitted that the most common change is the honourifics in which she refers to come characters. She admitted that she never in real life refers to the Emperor of Aether as "Lord Noxaros", but rather by his first name, Acero.
* In an interview following ''The Lake and the Rivers'', Rivers admitted that many of the chronology of the journals is rather hazy and times, and that many of the "weeks" were actually spans of days or months.
