The Tamuli
series of fantasy novels
The Tamuli is a series of fantasy novels by American writer David Eddings. The series consists of three volumes:
Domes of Fire
The Shining Ones
The Hidden City
The Tamuli is the sequel to The Elenium. In this series, Sparhawk and friends travel to the Tamul Empire, far to the east. The first book was published in November 1992.
Domes of Fire
Domes of Fire returns the reader to the world of The Elenium and the adventures of Sparhawk - Pandion Knight and Prince Consort to Queen Ehlana of Elenia. The novel chronicles the journey of Sparhawk and his companions as they journey across two continents to the city of Matherion, capital of the Tamul Empire - where supernatural occurrences threaten the safety of the entire world.
The Shining Ones
The Shining Ones continues the adventures of the series. Having seen the beginning of the threats in the Tamuli Empire, Sparhawk and his friends launch a campaign to purge the majority of the offenders with the help of the feared Shining Ones. As events reveal greater forces working in the background, Sparhawk is forced to do what he never wished to: take forth Bhelliom, the Sapphire Rose, and wield it once again.
The Hidden City
Following The Shining Ones, the enemies have been identified, and the cards are dealt.

Why this record matters
“The Tamuli” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Tamuli, series and fantasy provides the most credible route into that argument.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Oct 27, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q7768083. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 1 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1992.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
