==Setting== The world where Tigana takes place is a planet orbited by two moons. Kay notes that some of his readers tried to connect Tigana with A Song for Arbonne by speculating the stories take place on the same fictional world; Kay explained that he only repeated the same idea rather than attempting to expand his canon.
