T'au — books on the story line
T'au
A shared entry to stories of the T’au Empire and Farsight Enclaves. Different protagonists and wars sit alongside one another; they are not one continuous plot. Follow the named events and the book cards’ reading guides. Elemental Council is a standalone Cao Quo uprising in the Fifth Sphere, not a required sequel to the Farsight books. Devilhunter is a standalone hunt by Takka’s team on O’Tash’Var with an unknown calendar era, not an established chapter of the Fifth Sphere.
