Line 4:
The tetralogy consists of ''The Shadow of the Torturer'', ''The Claw of the Conciliator'', ''The Sword of the Lictor'' and ''The Citadel of the Autarch'', plus a coda, ''The Urth of the New Sun'', which was written some time later and clears up a number of points from the series proper. It's a work of staggering complexity, with [[Viewers Are Geniuses|very little explained outright]]. The [[Wild Mass Guessing]] alone would be longer than most pages on this wiki (and [http://www.urth.net/urth/ here's] proof).
 
Part of the "Briah" Cycle, along with the ''[[Book of the Long Sun]]'' tetralogy and ''[[Book of the Short Sun]]'' trilogy.
