But I remember the fella who told me. Big lad. Arms as thick as oak trees, a stunning collection of scars, nice eye patch. A REAL therapist he was. Er wait. Maybe it was rapist?

Meh...Kind of a lackluster thread title. But great OP! Though I think I'd put the chronology things lower...Maybe at the end. :) Just random unasked for advice.

Also, isn't Erikson an anthropologist, not an archaeologist?

He's both according to Wikipedia. Plus, archaeology is a branch of anthropology.

 So, I'm about to start The Crippled God and I have a few questions/worries.

First off, I looked over the Dramatis Personae and was saddened to see that neither Cutter nor Sorry/Apsalar were listed. Could someone tell me if they make an appearance at all? For some reason, I really liked their storyline and it feels like it was abandoned ~3 books ago. Is it being taken up in an Esslemont book?

I also feel like I have absolutely no clue what's happening. I know this is usually normal for this series, but it feels especially bad right now. Am I supposed to be feeling this way? I assume I am, but I just want to check. I have no clue what's going on with Palan in the very beginning, and only have a faint recollection of what happened to Tavore.
