A simple spelling mistake, in this section it says "differnt", but what is probably meant is "different".

NOTE: This is from the EU version of the Encyclopaedia Eorzea.

Confirmed this is a typo in NA version.

Hi everyone,

I was just wondering if the second printing of the lore book will include corrections to the errors brought up here or if it will still be the same as the first printing.

I'm assuming it will probably still include the errors but just hoping Ferne or another rep can confirm this.

I'll be purchasing it either way, just curious if I should be wary of the errors or not when I'm reading through my copy.

Thanks

SECTION: Bronze Lake, The Wanderer's Palace

Though the Wanderer's Palace was a temple dedicated to the Oschon, guardian deity of Nym, its history is a tragic one.

The word humours is used twice, but is once spelled humors.

SUBHEADING: Cerberus

"Manmade fetters wrapped about the hound have scholars believing that it was summoned by the Mhach to serve in its assault on Amdapor"

However, Cerberus was introduced in the Crystal Towers series of Alliance Raids, which was Allagan themed, and the Voidsent in question were implied to be the ones Allag were dealing with. Plus the fetters are Allagan in design.

Errata? Or out of all the Voidsent we met that dealt with Allag, Cerberus wasn't sent back till the Sixth Umbral Era?

SUBHEADING: Cerberus

I'm glad someone else brought that up; I don't think I was ever going to decide whether or not to. There are lots of ways it could be "legitimately" wrong. The "scholars" could be wrong. Or the Cloud of Darkness could have more recently set it up to guard that door. There are a few options to distance it from Allag and connect it to something else, but the designs on the fetters are so obviously of the same make that we see on Scylla and Xande and all them that it's just ... awkward, right?

The Warrior of Light is assumed male, which isn't true for roughly half of the population.

Not really an error, but it seems like something that's avoided usually, so. /shrug

HEADING: The Twelve and Creation
SUBHEADING: Menphina the Lover and Creation

Page 16: "Menphina is the...divine lover of Oschon"

Page 18, 5th paragraph in the creation myth: "Those winds did bring love into the heart of Llymlaen, yet though She longed to be with Oschon...

One of these things is not like the other. Do we have a love triangle in the Eorzean pantheon? Is Oschon the god of wanderers cause he can't commit? Who will ultimately claim the heart of the ruler of mountains?

Sorry all I could think about was cheap soap opera plotlines of two girls over one guy LOL. Errata though, it was stated prior to the creation myth Menphina was Oschon's lover, but Lewphon says the definitive tale says otherwise. Now I'm not about to call the creator of the Astrologian class a liar but...someone's wrong lol.

Tune in next time to "And I thought that god loved me!"
