Aren't these usually called Miacid? I'd just take it at its word, but d and s are right next to each other on the keyboard. Better safe than sorry!

Red and Blue Landtrap Leaves (and Landtrap Salad) may need updating if naturalists have changed the name from landtrap to flytrap to flying trap.
(I'm telling you, the Trappers' League is in over their heads!)

To add to the Age of Endless Frost (in-game) and the Age of Eternal Frost (reported earlier in this thread), this entry refers to the Age of Endless Ice.

The Dullahans...well, this is a mistake in the minion text, and will be fixed in-game for 3.5.

For the sake of completeness, I'm leaving a thought I had while mulling over the new info:

Something seems off comparing dullahan and horsemen: Eorzeans see dullahan as soulkin, but if you sacrifice a warhorse to be used as a nightmare steed, the dullahan who rides it is seen as a fifth-rung voidsent.

Granted, I suspect that several entries of the codex are muddled by deliberate misinformation via Eorzean point of view, particularly in terms of voidsent hiding in other categories (especially soulkin and ashkin), but this example seems perhaps at odds with itself a bit.

Hmm I assumed these three surname inconsistencies would have been on the forefront of the errors list so I didn't mention them earlier, but after reading this thread it would seem no one's brought them up yet!

Jessie, the deputy president of Garlond Ironworks, is listed in her bio under Her Servants on page 195 as Jessie Jaye, but on page 241 in the Her Disciplines section under Stephanivien's bio section her full name is listed as Jessie Baler.

Slowfix's full name is listed as Slowfix Cointoss in his bio under Her Lands on page 173, but under Roundrox's bio under Her Servants on page 212 Slowfix's name is listed as Slowfix Boxtops.

Under the Agents of Inquiry section of Her Servants on page 204, Ellie is called Ellie Ryse under her bio, but under Briardien's bio right next to hers she is called Ellie Lynne. Should also mention she is listed as Ellie Ryse under the Mythril Eye entry on page 186.

As a person who has always gone kinda gaga over finding out the full names of the characters in FF games, this is something I really paid attention to as I read every single word in this book back to front over the last few weeks. I must know...does Slowfix flip coins or top boxes!?

EDIT: And while this isn't a typo per se, it is an odd omission - On page 210 under Her Servants, Brayflox is simply listed as Brayflox with no last name, even though it is well-known her last name is Alltalks.

I assume this is a typo in-game, since in all languages but English they're called Miacis.

Yet a certain FATE in the Forelands makes use of this "typo" for a pun ("El Miacid Plot")

SECTION: The Floating City of Nym

Even during the great war, the Royal Marines ensured that their small nation maintained its independence by valiantly repelling wave after wave of voidsent sent by the Mhachi across the Rothlyt Sound.

The body of water that separates Yafaem and Vylbrand is the Strait of Merlthor. The Rothlyt Sound is east of Amdapor on the other side of Aldenard.

2016 and we still haven't squashed 100% of those pesky Rhotano / Rothlyt swaps... (I'm still giving the side-eye to the pelican, as well.)
