The problem is not with typos in KoS , it's typos in OiD. When Orlanth died, what would be the normal state of things *while the Emperor Sun is still alive and well*? Long, hot, unseasonable Summer all year long, just as Jane's game proved.

That section of OiD was absolutely *riddled* with typos, what with "Cold" for "Heat", "Snow" for "Unending sunshine" and more. I'm hoping Rick has a better proofreader.
