I also have Ursola LeGuin's 'Earthsea quadrilogy', but that was intended to be a trilogy too (part 4 was written years after the third book). The only 'true' quadrilogy I've read is by Marjorie B. Kellogg (the dragon quartet), but because the books are based on the four elements (earth, water, fire, air) that's not very surprising.
Glad you reminded me about Earthsea, Joost. I think that trilogy (at the time) and CS Lewis's Chronicles of Narnia (a septology?) were my first ventures into Fantasy. And I've been there ever since!
Once you get into a realm like that of the Elderlings, it's hard to leave.
