So I got the lore book last week, and while reading it I noticed what seems to be an inconsistency.

The geography section describes a state called Dalmasca alongside Doma in the passage about Othard. Not much is mentioned other than that it is currently annexed by the Garlean empire much as Doma is.

The section on Garlean history on the other hand seems to place it in the mountain range that divides north and south Ilsabard - stating that the Garleans conquered it by "raining fire from airships" (quote may be inexact, don't have the book with me at the moment). This event is very clearly placed in the history such that it occurs before the Garleans expand their ambitions into Othard.

So what exactly is going on here? Is it just a misinterpretation on my part and the two are in fact the same place (and if so, where)? Are there two states called Dalmasca? Is one a successor of the other? Any insight would be appreciated.
