This post is regarding the stuff-up on the WotC website (pointed out by Ed in his Novels thread) regarding the colloquial month names. The stuff up is that "the Claws of .." has been attached to other month names (e.g. Ches) in error. The only "claws" month is Alturiak. I bring this up because I noticed that Richard Lee Byers, in error, used "The Claws of the Sunsets" when referring to Ches in his recent novel The Rage.
Who do you have to talk to, to fix these things?

I'm not sure I want something as wide-spread as the Realms calander to be "fixed." I'd rather that mistakes be admitted. |

It's been done before to fix these sorts of problems, but couldn't it be put down as regional differences?

Jeez. How do you make an error like that? 
I admit that though I've gotten past that passage in the book, I hadn't noticed the error. However, that's just because I haven't memorized the calander yet. Surely a Realms author would have done so?
I suppose not. I don't want to criticize him too much, since I've made plenty of similar mistakes, simply because I "know" I'm right . . . but that said, if I made that mistake -- where all I have to do is look at one page in the FRCS, one very easily found -- I would be very deserving of that criticism. |
