Torvald Nom discovered a copy of The Lost Verses of Anomandaris, with annotation in Gareb's study. Thinking he had found an item of real worth amongst the dross in the moneylender's collection, he was disappointed to find the vellum blank but for a short annotation claiming "no scholarly erudition is possible at the moment." The scroll was part of a series of Lost Works published by the Vellum Makers' Guild of Pale.Toll the Hounds, Chapter 5, US SFBC p.148
Fisher continued to compose and perform new verses at K'rul's Bar in Darujhistan.Toll the Hounds, Chapter 7, US SFBC p.273

==Trivia==
When asked whether he ever considered writing the complete version of the epic poem, author Steven Erikson admitted he had "once thought about it, but it would take as long to write that as it would to write a novel, and so since nobody would ever publish Anomandaris as an epic poem, I think I'll stick with the novels."Steven Erikson Live Q&A - Fantasy/SciFi Focus - See 29:30
