The Admonishments of Kherishdar is a collection of short stories, called incense stories by the Ai-Naidar, which introduces Kor Nai'Nerillin-osulkedi, the priest of Shame, through first-person accounts of individuals sent to him for Correction. The Admonishments, along with The Aphorisms of Kherishdar, lead up to the events of Black Blossom, the novel-length work set in Kherishdar.

The Admonishments was published independently in 2008 as a crowdfunded web-serial. Readers and fans paid professional rates for both the stories and paintings that adorn the book.
