I recently printed a few copies of a collection of The Chronicles (PDF ODT). As you would expect I've noticed a few errors that had I spotted them before printing I would have fixed. I did do two proofing runs which did flag up quite a few other errors which were, of course, corrected. So, I would have fixed:

Copyright page, Fifth Paragraph
Missing word are which should appear after the word interludes in Many interludes from background...
Major Events, Galemir 137
...begins constriction... should read ...begins construction...
Second paragraph following Linrodeth Sherrifs

A Map in the Gelt Mountains (following Kryll 145)

Pipetal 148, Second Paragraph
Missing paragraph break immediately before the sentence that starts Lady Beatrice Perignon is delighted.... Note that with these two extra paragraph breaks I would have been forced into a light edit to avoid a couple of orphan lines.
Jasmarill 148, Last Paragraph
Space after the opening quotation mark for Randy Parkinson's quote should instead be immediately before the quotation mark.
Menderal 148
The text of this Chronicle is a repeat of that for Menderal 149. A correct version of the contents can be found at on this website at Menderal 148.
Jasmarill 150, Second Paragraph
Remove the s from the word votes in ...and declared his intention to votes against the motion.
A Map of Oldgate Ward
This map was based on Aldgate Ward in London. As such it needs reflecting horizontally across the middle of the map2. Compare with the map of Linrodeth as whole.

Caralingas Lineage
Birth year of 131 for Eleanor is wrong (since that would make her only 10 when Alexis was born). 121 is the correct year.
Skelern 158, Fourth Paragraph
The following should be inside quotation marks: We now wait to see which of our Aldermen will vote for the right people and which will follow orders and vote for the grubby deal we were first presented with. At the end of this quotation should be a sentence break. Also a missing comma before the very last word are:.

Let me know if you find more!

Footnotes

  1. Not sure what happened here - this looked fine in the proof print
  2. Sigh, had I spotted when I first created the map it would have been relatively easy to do by just reversing the greaseproof paper I used to copy the road layout - and then scribe in the road names and annotations. To fix it now will require some significant work in an image manipulation program!
