Careful Inconsistencies

There are (at present) two massive secrets at the heart of my work on Terafa, the nature of which I'm not going to state here, what with them being secret and all. The truth is that I'm not sure if they will ever be revealed - indeed, they may well work better as some sort of "something isn't right here..." feeling.

However, I do most definitely want to lay out hints about the fact that some things are badly out of kilter. And the way to do that is to very carefully build in some inconsistencies into the setting material - bits of history that don't line up quite right, dates and durations that can't be made to work together, and other such things.

The only problem with that is that the setting material will also include some number of outright mistakes and changes as I go, which will tend to obscure my intent. But that's just one more fun element of discovering the setting, I guess.
