    Lore/spelling error in Sapphire Weapon Triple Triad Card description

    The description for the Sapphire Weapon card in the Triple Triad card list reads as follows:

Its affinity for water is said to be attributed to a primal it consumed in the Dorvos Narrow.
    Encyclopaedia Eorzea II uses the spelling "Corvos" rather than "Dorvos".

Legend has it that the left food was planted on Thavnairian soil, supporting a colossal statue that once straddled the Narrow itself. Whether the victim of malicious intent or simply the ravages of time, the spectacle of this immense sentinel has since been lost to the ages.
    Additionally, the officially published short story collection "Chronicles of Light" contains an exclusive short story, entitled "The Hunt Begins", which uses the spelling "Corvos" several times:

    The location in question is labeled in the Eorzean alphabet on the official art map of the Three Great Continents, however it is a little tricky to make out. It appears as though it is labeled "Dorvos" on the map, however "The Anchorite at Corvos" labeled next to it is clearly spelled with a C. I assume that the "Dorvos" spelling on the map, along with the "Dorvos" spelling on the Triple Triad card, is an error.
