''The Realm of the [[Elderling]]s'', also known as Image:MapBig.jpg|thumb|Map of the world of [[EdaSix Duchies]] and [[ElCursed Shores]], is based on those found in the universe where the triple trilogies of [[Farseer trilogy|Farseer]], [[Liveship Traders trilogy|Liveship Traders]] and [[Tawny Man trilogy|Tawny Man]] as well as some short stories take placetrilogies. The known area reaches from the Created by [[Out IslandsCrooty]] in the far north to beyond far south where [[the Fool]] came from, and includes the [[Six Duchies]], the [[Mountain Kingdom.]], the [[Cursed Shores]], [[Chalced]] and [[Jamaillia]]. It is implied that the world is round like ours.
''The name isnRealm of the [[Elderling]]s'', also known as ''t used by the characters within that universeWorld of [[Eda]] and [[El]]'', but is a descriptive title first (?) seen the universe where most of [[Robin Hobb]]'s books take place. The area reaches from the [[Out Islands]] in the far north to beyond far south past the edges of every map [[Legends 2Verity]] anthology where ever studied, and includes the [[Six Duchies]], the [[Mountain Kingdom]], the [[Cursed Shores]], the [[Rain Wilds]], [[Chalced]], [[Jamaillia]] and [[HomecomingClerres]] was published.

The name "Realm of the Elderlings" isn't used by the characters within that universe, but is a descriptive title that first appeared in print around the time the [[Legends 2]] anthology with the story [[Homecoming]] was published.
===Chronological order of the Realm of the Elderlings series===
The chronological order of the main novels is the same as the publishing order:
# the [[Farseer trilogy]]
# the [[Liveship Traders trilogy]]
# the [[Tawny Man trilogy]]
# the [[Rain Wild Chronicles]]
# the [[Fitz and the Fool trilogy]]
'''It is generally recommend to read the series in the chronological order''' if at all possible.
Even though these stories happen in different parts of the ''Elderlings'' world and have different point of view characters, there are major plot lines that are interconnected and some characters that travel far and wide. The further you go along the series, the more important this becomes, especially if one wants to avoid spoilers.
===Chronological order of all the RotE stories===
Besides the main series, there are also several shorter works set in the same world. The following is more or less the chronological order of all the ''Realm of the Elderlings'' stories. It is not necessary to read everything in this order. While the shorter works do not contain big spoilers for the main series, they do feature some elements of history and magic typical of the area they are set in. ''Homecoming'' and ''The Willful Princess and the Piebald Prince'' in particular are sort of "origin stories", so it is up to the reader to decide whether to read them before or after the main novels. ''Words Like Coins'' and ''Blue Boots'' are set during the time of Assassin's Apprentice / Royal Assassin <ref>http://robinhobb.com/2011/08/updates-on-appearances/comment-page-1/#comment-2870 RobinHobb.com</ref>, as is ''Her Father's Sword''.
