== Background ==

'''''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 War Arc" of the story.

 

'''''Volume VII''''' is the upcoming 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 is in the works. Little has been releaved about the book as of the moment, but it is speculated to cover the relocation and rebuilding of the people of Blackthorn, and how the world around them is affected by it.
