[QUOTE="Alzrius, post: 574902, member: 8461"] The fact that it removed him at all is one such problem, since canon materials have never stated that happened at all. We don't know how many years after the Cerulean Storm it happened either, it could have been two or ten, but using the previous books as a reference makes it seem more like just two or three, which newer works have already caught up to. Hamanu isn't dead or gone. Other problems (yes, I know, I nitpick): - There never was a Champion named "Pennarin". - Kalak was a Champion. RaFoaDK has Hamanu saying he was not. - Dregoth was neither already immortal nor already battling giants when Rajaat approached him, as RaFoaDK said. - Just casting spells does not turn a SK into a dragon! - Hamanu's physical description does not match the one provided in the Prism Pentad books. - "Innenek" is not the Oba's real name, Lalali-Puy is. - Hamanu thinks to himself, when confronting Borys, that he needed no sword to kill off the trolls. However, [I]Psionic Artifacts of Athas[/I] lists "The Scorcher" a sword artifact that it says Hamanu used during the Cleansing Wars (and later used to kill Dregoth). - Rajaat cannot cast spells in the material world again. He is still trapped in the Hollow. - Dregoth is not known to the Sorcerer-Kings, or anyone else, and certainly wouldn't send an undead army to the surface, since he hides his own undead nature even from his people, the dray. - Hamanu mentions that he can't understand Windreaver when the troll speaks to him in his native language. According to [I]Dragon Kings[/I] Dragons at any stage of their transformation can speak and understand all languages. - The way magic is used, learned, and described throughout the book doesn't match D&D style magic at all. - Pavek was a "druid/templar" a multi-class combination that, under the AD&D 2E rules (which were the ones in use when that story was written) was not allowed (since both came from the Priest subset of classes, and 2E rules were you couldnt dual- or multi-class in the same subset). and thats just what I can recall off the top of my head.
