Fool's Errand is a fantasy novel by American writer Robin Hobb, the first in her Tawny Man Trilogy.

Since then, Fitz has wandered the world accompanied only by his wolf and Wit-partner, Nighteyes, finally settling in a tiny cottage as isolated from the Farseers and Buckkeep politics as possible.

The Fool hints at his adventures in the last fifteen years and reveals that he has now foreseen that he must return to Buckkeep, but Fitz declines to join.

Fitz and the Fool, joined by Queen's Woman Laurel, travel to the home of the Bresinga's, nobles suspected to be Witted.

There, they come to understand that Prince Dutiful was given a hunting cat and coerced into bonding with it, which is an abomination in the eyes of the "Old Blood" (Witted traditionalists).
