Error In WotC Style Guide For The Realms

[pukunui]

WotC's own books don't follow the style guide.

For instance, they randomly dropped the "h" from Waterdhavian in Waterdeep: Dragon Heist, despite spelling it correctly in all prior 5e adventures and in the style guide.

Also, every single 5e adventure set in the Realms refers to weeks instead of tendays, despite the style guide banning that word.

Because they've also noted "following these style guides is not required to publish on DMsGuild", I just take it to mean you don't necessarily have to follow the guides at all, they're just guidelines .

Okay...so...what's the big deal, exactly?

They moved a couple holidays. Okay.

Someone said that it would mess with crops somehow? Dude, it's a canon change. Old campaigns will likely ignore it, new campaigns are more likely to use it, and in no non-hypothetical campaigns will it ever be a conflict.

I think I found the culprit...
