This novel was a sequel to "The Eyes of the Overworld" written at a time before Vance resumed writing in the Dying Earth universe. When Vance returned to the milieu, his "Cugel's Saga" continued the events of "The Eyes of the Overworld" in a different direction, at which point "A Quest for Simbilis" became non-canonic.
