- Plot Hole - A Companion reported dead in the first book reappears with a promotion but no explanation in the second.
- The "death report" was a quickly shouted statement on a battlefield collapsing due to the routed soldiers the reporteress was leading. Mere battlefield gossip. Lampshaded in a later book where militia refuse to open a city gate in Old Residence due to similar reports of Raj's death, with Raj standing there in front of them.
- All true, but would it have killed Drake and Stirling to put it in black and white?
They did. They told the reader directly that the character was still alive. Therefore the previous second hand report was from an Unreliable Narrator due to the Fog of War.
