Well, there was definitely a fair number of typos, especially on the maps, due to the unfortunate poor quality of faxes. Other than that, here's the errors that I know of and consider of note.

Most of the errors relate to the map on pg. 12. I think these things are all noted correctly in the text (if referred to):

• The Elder Wilds - These forests actually covered more area than I'd previously thought. They cover part of the Heortling lands, and they connect up with the Tallseed Forest as well. Fortunate Succession pg. 21 shows a much better representation.
• Shadow Plateau - That little bump in the Northeast corner shouldn't be there, as that's the third age body of the monster sent to slay the Pharoah. As a result, the river goes East around the Plateau instead of West.
• Slontos - Although Slontos started to sink in the Darkness, it didn't fully sink until sometime after the Broken Council. The Wenelia islands should be a long peninsula, and the area marked Ramalia actually goes a bit further East.
• Second Dari Alliance - Should include the Utoni, who are actually just South of Felster Lake.
• Tarinwood - Should be much larger. Goes nearly up to Felster Lake.

The majority of the map, beyond this nitpicking, should be correct. I am hoping to get a corrected version of that map done, and if I do I will make it available to people who purchased the Broken Council Guidebook.

The one correction I'd make in the text is to strengthen Halikiv's ties with the Only Old One. Halikiv is as much a part of the Kingdom of Night as anything is.

And that's it, as far as I know. If anyone else has disagreements or corrections on the First Age as detailed in the Broken Council Guidebook, I'd love to hear them.
