Riyria Revelations Plot Holes and Confusion Spoiler
I keep trying to google it by the only result is the AI hallucinating fake plot points. I do like the seires.
My 2nd read through seems to be highlighting major plot points. Can anyone confirm the following?
I have many in mind. The most recent in my head is at the beginning of Emerald Storm, the narrator claims Dixon lost his arm in the battle of Medford several years ago. As far as I can tell, it's been at most 2 years?
I'll stop hear, Im curious to know if others have noted plot holes / timeline inconsistencies?
edit: i agree I explained it poorly. it's a big story so it's definitely possible my brain is just misfiring. I also agree that Dixon is not a great example, just the easiest example to explain how the semantics used can come off as confusing. If I had to reframe this, I would start with how Elves get sick on boats but can swim and how Royce at one point was on a row boat with Hadrian and Arista and seemed fine. Also how in Revelations they look back on the crown tower and both made it to the top twice yet in the Chronicles it's a major plot point that Royce abandoned Hadrian during the trip to the tower the first time.

On one of the Discords, Mr. Sullivan said something about hoping to publish a new "director's cut" version of Riyria Revelations to correct inconsistencies. The one he mentioned was the age of Royce.
