 A third class of internal tale relates, usually in response to questions by Jorian, the histories of various places and objects of interest, such as the lost city of Culbagarh in Komilakh, the Goblin Tower in Othomae, the Tower of Kumashar in Iraz, the bathtub of Emperor Ishbahar of Penembei, and the toad god Gorgolor of Tarxia.This last is of interest in that it is told both as a direct experience of Jorian in "The Goblin Tower" and as an inset tale with Jorian's involvement edited out related by Kerin in " The Honorable Barbarian".According to de Camp's friend and fellow writer Darrell Schweitzer, De Camp wrote one additional Novarian novel, with "a quasi-Polynesian setting," under the working title of "The Sedulous Sprite".
