Hmm. Weren't you around when we discussed parts of these "verbatim accounts" in exhausting detail? KoS is full of inconsistencies, making it quite similar to a collection of 1st and 2nd hand sources. Plentonius' Glorious ReAscent is a propaganda scripture if there ever were any.

Not quite lied. The Dara Happan lower castes do have thousands of years of an uninterrupted history of suppression by a "just" (in the Dara Happan sense, i.e. might makes right, or more poetically "Measured Commandment from Above") warlord emperor or another.

I know of several, contradictory ones... The (ongoing) projects are interesting. I found that a spreadsheet works best to keep track of regions and events.
