Didn't know where else to put this, and pretty much all DA discussion happens here now whether its Inquisition related or not.

Discuss....

Page 12: The timeline states that the Old Gods whispered to humanity from the Black City in -2800 Ancient. At this time, the legendary city would still be known as “The Golden City,” as it was not yet sullied by the presence of men

Figured that was a typo. Good.

[Harle Cerulean]

 Ahha, The Calling did in fact happen in the same year Alistair was born. Good to know!  

[Captain Crash]

yeah human error happens no matter how hard you try. Especially in such a large book. I think the Celene error was the only one worthy of note for me since it been discussed. At that age 9:4 and 9:6 Dragon makes a difference.

Whether it was sullied by the presence of men is debatable as well.

According to Corypheus, it was black when he and the Magisters got there, meaning the chant is wrong.

But the speculation from that quote sprung to that the Chantry invented that the Black City was golden at one point as propaganda, which would be silly. Whether it was on the inside is not relevant to my concern.

Yeah, I'm glad that stupid argument is done with.  It was obviously a typo all along but people will cling to their silly denial at all costs it seems. 

Of course, this won't change any of their minds.  But at least they have less... fuel?

I wonder if they're going to publish a corrected version of World of Thedas.

People pay for it to get accurate information after all.

[smallwhippet]

I absolutely LOVE that they've done this....I just wish they'd called it either 'An Erratum' (singular), or just 'Errata' (plural). I suppose they could always correct the correction...*hides behind a cushion*. I know, I know: I'm a horrible pedant.

[Sutekh]

First, very nice erratum.

Second, I'm surprised they didn't notice that Ages only last for 99 years if we believe the calendar on p. 21, since there's no year 0 or year 100. I know, no big deal, but it's been bugging me a lot.

[smallwhippet]

Clearly I'm in good company!

How silly of them to have multiple people all fact-check the book and not a single one managed to see those glaring errors.

BW is in desperate need of a dedicated person (or small team of people) to go over lore with a fine-toothed comb and get all the dates, names, and details pinned down and correct. 

[Stella-Arc]

So, Fiona is Alistairs mother. Ugh. Made me like her even less. Ah, well.

Thats nice, when you can't win them over, insult them.

Hehe. I think someone accidentally wrote the truth instead of what was believed at the time or what the Chantry says. IMO the city was always black, as suggested by Corypheus' statement.

I guess the murder knife to the back of Genetivis head really did cause a few problems for him.

It's a shame, I really liked the idea of a third Theirin (mostly because I love the alliteration )

I guess Leliana wasn´t the only one who got better.

So will there be a reprinting? I'm glad I haven't bought this book yet, I'll wait until they reprint it with the fixes.

Mistakes will always creep through in any published work, no matter how many people you have checking over it.

I know that all too well.
