Ascendence Series + Short Stories

I decided to put together a chronological complete list of all the books of the Ascendence Series with all the short stories I could find that Jennifer Nielsen wrote as extras/background stories or to fill in the gaps! I tried to find links for all of them, if a link does work, let me know!

All Stories + Novels In Chronological Order—

Just a disclaimer! Don’t read the first 4 stories before you read The False Prince! They contain spoilers for the first book but are meant to take place before the events of The False Prince, which is why I’ve ordered them thus!

The Duel (Link to YouTube and also included at the end of The False Prince audiobook—)

The Missing Prince

Sage’s Gift

The Roast

THE FALSE PRINCE

Roden’s Revenge

Redemption

THE RUNAWAY KING

THE SHADOW THRONE

Confession (Between Chapters 13 & 14 of The Shadow Throne)

Patriot’s Treason (Between Chapters 28 & 29 of The Shadow Throne on the audiobook (YT link))

THE CAPTIVE KINGDOM

Revenge (Wilta Short Story following the events of The Captive Kingdom (on TCK audiobook only))

Saint’s Day

THE SHATTERED CASTLE

Night drop of sketches with Eli Vanto.

In addition to the canonical appearance, I sketched a version of the “commodore” from my Eleventh Fleet AU.

Because we need MORE bearded Eli'van'to, otherwise only Karyn with a cape :3

hello, dave filoni. it looks like you’ve been ignoring the canon thrawn trilogies in order to change thrawn’s character into something more similar to the heir to empire trilogy that is no longer canon. i’m sure this makes thrawn fans so happy. let’s play a game: you have six books in front of you…the thrawn trilogy and thrawn ascendency trilogy. you have one hour to read these and come up with an actual understanding of thrawn’s complex motivations and personality or you will be thrown into a sarlacc pit.

late night sketch of Thrawn doing Ziara’s hair for the soul. I’d like to think he insists on it before they spar (because obviously he knows the most optimal geometric pattern for each hairstyle or something)

Anyway. Im emo about them again

[lexmiscart]

Thrawn sees Eli like that and looses all capability of rational thought

(I wanted to redraw the meme)

[gillymugs]

SORRY to anyone who thought this would be a cool Thrawn drawing, it is in fact a silly Twitter meme

Studies of Magali Villeneuve's illustrations she made for Thrawn: Ascendancy trilogy. They look incredible.

I haven't posted anything on Tumblr for years, BUT that silence is broken for Thrawn.

I've read 7.5 Thrawn books in the last couple of months, I'm in deep, it's become my Roman empire, and that behind the scene photo from Ashoka fucked me up.

Thranto wedding designs !!!

In a lot of western military weddings, men often wear their dress uniforms and so that’s what I decided to put them in as a base. The dress uniform is a little fancier than a normal CDF uniform, featuring a sash, more embellished belt, gold epaulets - yes I spelled it wrong on the sheet lol - to display honor chains, and other gold details such as on the boots and gloves (not shown).

Thrawn being a member of one of the Ruling Families wears a burgundy robe over his uniform - burgundy being the Mitth family color - and a long, thick, embroidered cloak/cape custom to him (I like to think he designed it in his twenties, never thinking he’d ever wear it 🥺) The two also wear a gold Mitth family belt buckle.

I wanted Eli to have some Lysatran traditions and decided to go with the exchange of grass/grain wreaths that are made of local plants from their homeworlds. Eli then exchanges his Lysatran wreath with Thrawn’s wreath made out of plants from Rentor, with a vow along the lines of “my home will always be your home”.

To signify Eli’s transition into House Mitth, Thrawn will drape Eli in his cloak/cape - I did steal this from Game of Thrones, see Sansa and Tyrion’s wedding - that is uniquely his. I decided to go with the double snake design that (I think?) comes from the ring Thrawn receives in Chaos Rising.

Hope ya’ll like it :)

Imagine being Timothy Zahn and writing six (6) new books for your character to fit into the new canon only for them to get ignored after 😀

I have to make this up!!

Concept art for the Eleventh Fleet - Mitt'raw'nuruodo.

Hands got to the rendering of Mitt'raw'nuruodo's sketches. It was unusual to draw him without the Grand Admiral’s signature hairstyle, but I really wanted to make a strong contrast between his life “before” and “after” starting his service in the navy. Life on his home planet certainly wasn't easy.

+ some parallel with Ezra and his fate.

…And I still think the idea of ​​making Thrawn's kintsugi-style form during his exile is my best idea :3 After red eyeliner on Karyn's eyes, of course.

the mental image of Thrawn getting two ysalamiri and naming them Perhaps and Perhaps Not
