Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })Lythande is a character created by Marion Zimmer Bradley, and conveniently enough also the name of the anthology of stories written about the character. There are also several other stories that were not published in the original anthology which were not collected for 25 years, until The Complete Lythande was published in 2013; most are available in other anthologies, and some as separate ebooks. The character was originally created for, and the first story ("The Secret of the Blue Star") written for, the first Thieves' World anthology.The stories are usually at best tangentially related; some stand completely alone and some reference previous stories, but only a few are directly related (through recurring characters). The general setup is Lythande entering a new place and either being hired to deal with a magical menace or falling afoul of a magical effect. The conflicts are usually resolved by a combination of wits, willpower, force, and magic.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })Due to a Late-Arrival Spoiler in the original story which forms the basis of several others, all story folders will have unmarked spoilers.

All There in the Manual: Your first thought on seeing the name Lythande is probably "How do you pronounce 'Lythande', anyway?" Well worry no longer - in the foreword of the original anthology, MZB reveals that in her mind it's pronounced "LEE-thond", and also that anyone else's pronunciation is just as valid.

All Men Are Rapists: This is not a nice setting, and several plots revolve around just how normal and expected it is for almost any man to force himself on any woman if he gets the chance.
