I've never seen any such attempt. Personally I've never ever considered it as a possibility: and seen it as being very much the responsibility of Issaries to explain their introduction of such a major change into known history. Which, of course, they haven't bothered to do.
Still, if anyone other than me had said it was impossible to reconcile two widely divergent sources, I'd have felt obliged to prove otherwise. Let me think about it. It won't be for a few days, as I have a college assignment to hand in on Wednesday, but I'll give it a go.

Wrecking the weather and magic system as far afield as Pavis? Yes. To put it mildly.

Depends on which Argrath you think we're dealing with (as always!) but I believe by this time Garrath has left on the Cradle, and has not yet returned.

I think we can assume Denseros noticed it. Either he missed it out, or it's there, but "disguised". I think it's the latter, and am very tempted to start the search for hints and reasons why he hid it, but sadly I really must do my assignment work *first*.
Important question for the list: OID has a Lunar general "Tashkeveth" in command at Iceland. Who is this guy, and how does he get on with other Lunars in general and Fazzur in particular?
