This is an excellent point. I remember a poster to the Digest being surprised that MOB couldn't tell him the history, mythology, etymology, hidden secrets and mayor's hat size for every settlement on the Sun County map. (If you ask me, MAR Barker has a lot to answer for!).

We did provide a copy of "Home of the Bold" for use by the authors of Hero Wars Sartarite material, so any changes and inconsistencies are probably deliberate. (Which suggests that they will lead to fun developments and revelations in future releases).
Also, HotB was of course an unofficial fan-written product, so "what we know" from that game has never been official Gloranthan Truth, however much you enjoyed it.
