Just saw this list, and thought I'd share! Of particular note - the Tortall Companion Guide has been officially pushed back to 2014, and the two "Numair: the Early Years" books now appear to be a single book titled "Arram".
Thoughts?

I get that Maura isn't such an important character in the scheme of things, especially compared to Numair, but I do feel sorry for Maura fans, who've been promised this book for so long. I am, however, ecstatic about Tris at Lightsbridge and waiting with bated breath for BM. The speculation's half the fun of it, though!
I'm looking forward to seeing some Arram-Ozorne interaction, romantic or otherwise. I hope we get a better understanding of Ozorne's friendship with Numair, his character during that time & and his relationship with Kaddar. And I also want to learn more about Carthak's history and geography.

In the meantime there's a shiny new Emelan book to tide you over! I'm not keen on <i>Arram</i> as a title, but it certainly is better than Numair: The Early Years.

*waits for Arram to get pushed back again* until you give me an official date/cover/something more solid I probably will not get my hopes up. (I'm bitter, don't mind me. I just want this book to be out... yesterday)
Anyways - TORTALL COMPANION GUIDE YES PLEASE.

Mithros mailbox I need this Tortall Compansions Guide. I'm just pining for it. So much needed knowledge, but there's such a long wait. TT_TT
I wonder what the cover's going to look like? Will it be Alanna's Lioness Rampant or the Tortallan Royal Insignia? I'm curious about that.

I'd like to see the insignia- the crown and sword, I think? Since we already have the lioness on Tortall and Other lands. Perhaps it could be a section of the map??

It started with an "m". I love using Mithros expressions So much excitement. I can't @_@ Numair. When he was younger. I'm so excited. And we'll get to see more of the Carthaki empire!

I'm interested to see how the official Tris at Lightsbridge fic will compare with Kris11's Clear Skies (which I read whenever I'm experiencing Tris withdrawal).

I actually like 'Arram' as a title. It's not a pretty title, but it is prettier than Numair: The Early Years, and probably more descriptive too. I also think that it just makes more sense, especially if it is in the one book. Fall 2014 means the Tortall Companion Guide won't be released before SwanSon Yep. I'm also willing to bet that one of the two books gets pushed back.

Tortall companion yes please!
The Maura book sounds fascinating. More Tortall politics oh my. And very interesting to see how Maura has grown up.

*groans* Two more years before Tris? And I've found so few (read: one - Kris11's) good Tris at Lightsbridge fics! Maura will be great too. We saw her teaching Rider trainees, which piqued my curiosity immensely. Arram is a really fitting title, because I've always thought Numair's name choice was one of the most important parts of him.
Ugh...stupid parents that don't let you buy books. I guess I'll have to wait for the library to get Battle Magic, which will take forever.

I feel like I have seen this somewhere else, but "Arram" is now titled Exile. And as of September 17 on her LJ, Tammy was on Chapter 5 of her first draft . I'm thinking it will be 2015.
