System

You are a meticulous continuity editor for a fiction project. You have access to a "story bible" (codex) containing canonical details about characters, locations, items, lore, and organizations.

Your task: Given the codex and a prose text, identify every factual inconsistency between the text and the codex. A violation is any detail in the text that contradicts what the codex states — wrong eye color, wrong location name, wrong ruler, swapped left/right, incorrect dates, etc.

Be thorough. Check every named entity, physical description, location detail, date, title, and relationship mentioned in the text against the codex. Do not flag stylistic choices, omissions, or things not covered by the codex — only flag direct contradictions.

For each violation found, output an XML element with the following attributes:
- entry: the codex entry ID that is contradicted
- detail: which specific detail is wrong — use the exact name of the codex element or attribute that is contradicted (e.g. "eyeColor", "species", "ruler", "material")
- paragraph: the 1-indexed paragraph number containing the violation
- substring: the exact substring from the text that contains the violation

The element body should contain a brief explanation of the contradiction.

Example format:
<violation entry="1234" detail="hairColor" paragraph="2" substring="her brown hair flowing">The text says brown hair, but the codex says blonde.</violation>

If you find no violations, output: <violations-none/>

Output ONLY the violation XML elements. Do not include any other text, preamble, or explanation outside the XML.

<text>
The Spire of Echoes rose from the mountain's shoulder like a black tooth against the snow. It was a fortress — had always been a fortress, even before the wars had given it purpose. The mountain terrain was brutal here: sheer rock faces, ice in the crevices, a wind that cut through wool and leather alike. Frost coated every surface. The stone was dark and slick with it. Higher up, the walls narrowed and the architecture lost whatever human intention had shaped it, becoming something closer to geology — as if the mountain had grown the tower from its own bone. Birds didn't nest here. Nothing lived on these upper slopes that didn't have to. Torben — Stray, as some still called him — stood at the base and looked up at the tower disappearing into cloud. The cold had already found his fingers, his jaw, the gap at his collar where the wind threaded itself like a needle. He had been in worse places. Not many.

They gathered in the courtyard, such as it was — a flat expanse of flagstone swept clean by the wind. Sable stood to his left, arms crossed, her jaw set. She hadn't spoken since the last ridge, and her silence had a texture to it — the kind that discouraged questions. Behind her, the dwarf Grunn — Old Tetch — leaned on a broken wall and said nothing. His eyes moved, though. They tracked every shadow, every doorway, every place a man could hide or a wall could fall. Iselda waited near the gate, still as a statue, her pale features betraying nothing of the climb or the cold. Brother Hemmen — the Eyeless — had arrived before any of them, as if the mountain were a place he already knew. He stood with his hands folded inside his sleeves, his ashen eyes turned toward the Spire as though he could see something in it the rest of them could not. And there was one more: Captain Mettik, a human soldier who'd marched three days through the passes to meet them. He stood apart from the others, straight-backed, watching the Spire with the wary respect of a man who had seen buildings kill people. His boots were caked with ice and his cloak was torn at the shoulder, but he held himself like the march had been nothing.

They descended into the Sanctum through a narrow stair that curled beneath the Spire's foundation. The steps were worn smooth by centuries of feet, and the walls pressed close — close enough that Grunn's shoulders scraped stone on both sides. The Sanctum was a chamber carved from the mountain's root — circular, low-ceilinged, the walls covered in carvings so old the stone had softened around them. Pillars braced the ceiling at intervals, squat and thick, and between them the carvings ran in unbroken bands — figures, symbols, scenes rendered in a style that predated any kingdom Torben knew by name. Dim light filtered through cracks in the rock above. The air smelled of wet stone and something older, something mineral and faintly sweet, like the breath of a cave that had been sealed for a long time. It was cold. Everything here was cold.

Hemmen spoke first. He stood at the center of the chamber, one hand resting on the wall, and told them what the carvings meant. "The Riven War," he said. "A thousand years before the Felling. Queen Veredine — Veredine the Undying, an elf who commanded the living and the dead — she built this place as a seal. Her army, the Pallid Host, were the restless dead she had bound to her will. They did not tire. They did not question. They marched where she pointed and they consumed what stood in their path." His fingers found a groove in the stone — a long column of figures, some standing, some fallen. "When the war ended, she sealed them here. Entombed them beneath the mountain where the cold and the weight of the rock would hold them still." He traced a line across the stone with one finger. "Hatchwell — the town that stood at the mountain's base — burned. Nothing left. The Pallid Host marched through it on their way to this Spire, and there was nothing anyone could do. The people of Hatchwell had no warning. They woke to fire and the sound of the dead walking through their streets, and by morning the town was ash."

The silence that followed was broken by footsteps.

Osrik Pallengrave stepped into the Sanctum through an archway none of them had noticed. The Pale, they called him. He was a Tiefling — the horns swept back from his temples, black hair falling between them, red eyes catching what little light the chamber held. He was tall, lean in a way that suggested something stripped down rather than underfed, and he carried himself with the patience of someone who had learned that stillness unnerved people more than threats. He moved slowly, deliberately, as if he wanted them to see every part of him before he spoke. In his right hand he carried a blade: Harrowglass. An obsidian edge, dark as a closed eye, and Void-touched — the air around it dimmed, the light pulling toward the blade and vanishing. Some called it the Hungering Edge, and the name fit. It looked like it could eat the light from a room and still be hungry.

Torben stepped forward. His green eyes met Osrik's red ones across the chamber. Neither moved. The distance between them was perhaps twenty paces, but the air in that gap felt heavier than it should have — dense, pressurized, as though the Sanctum itself were holding its breath. Behind Torben, Grunn was already reaching for what hung on the wall behind him — the Warden's Mail, silver chain that hummed with pale light when he donned it, settling over his shoulders with a weight that felt like purpose. The links caught the dim glow and threw it back against the walls. Captain Mettik's hand went to his sword, though he did not draw. Iselda shifted her weight — a small movement, almost invisible, but Torben had learned to read it. She was ready.

The carvings on the walls seemed to shift in the changing light. Hemmen's voice rose. "The Binding of Reshkai — you know of it. What was sealed in The Hollow was one half of a lock. This Spire is the other." He looked at Osrik. "The Felling broke the world two centuries ago. But this — this was built to stop something older." Above them, mounted in an iron bracket near the ceiling, a bronze bell began to hum — the Nightbell, the bell that begins the Tithe of Echoes. The Tithe was a ritual older than the Spire itself, a tradition meant to keep the wards from failing. The bell's voice was low and long, and it filled the Sanctum the way water fills a bowl. The Watcher's Prophecy — carved into the foundation stone beneath their feet — spoke of a severing, a moment when the seals would thin and something would push through.

Sable drew Kindling. The dark iron blade caught the Nightbell's resonance and the fire along its edge flared — brighter than Torben had seen it, brighter than Sable could control. She didn't look at the blade. She looked at Osrik. "Wren Hessik died at your hands," she said. Her voice was steady but her knuckles were white around the hilt. "And before her — Petal. My sister. You remember, don't you? You were there when The Felling reached the coast. You were there when the world caught fire." Osrik said nothing. The Hungering Edge moved slightly in his grip, as if it were breathing.

The first strike came from the dark. Something fell from the ceiling — rubble, stone, a shower of dust that blinded everyone for half a breath. Chains rattled in the walls. The wind found its way into the Sanctum through cracks that hadn't been there a moment ago, carrying snow and the smell of old iron. Soldiers — unnamed, faceless, wearing armor that was more rust than steel — poured through the archway behind Osrik. They moved like men who had forgotten how to stop. Grunn met the first one with the Warden's Mail blazing and Burden still strapped to his back — then swung the great mace free and brought it down on a shield that split like kindling. Torben moved left. Sable moved right. Iselda was already gone — above them somewhere, a blur of white and translucent wing. Hemmen stood in the center of the chamber with his hands open and his ashen eyes closed, the Verity Beads clicking between his fingers, each bead catching a faint light of its own as they moved. The floor shook. Stones fell. A wooden beam cracked and swung loose from the ceiling, trailing dust. The Nightbell rang again — once, twice, a third time — and the carvings on the walls began to glow with a light that had been sleeping for a thousand years. The crumbling walls shed mortar like dead skin. An iron door at the far end of the Sanctum buckled inward. The torchlight guttered and died, and for a moment everything was dark except the fire on Kindling's edge and the pale glow of the Warden's Mail and the terrible, hungry absence of light around Harrowglass. Then the Spire shook to its roots, and the mountain answered.

Identify all factual violations in the text above that contradict the codex.

Model response

<violation entry="111" detail="eyeColor" paragraph="2" substring="His eyes moved, though.">The text describes Grunn's eyes moving and tracking shadows, implying he has functional eyes, but his codex entry does not specify eye color (only Amber is listed for Grunn Tetch, wait, re-reading codex: Grunn Tetch has Amber eyes. The text says "His eyes moved". This is consistent. Let me re-evaluate.
Codex 111 Grunn Tetch: EyeColor Amber. Text: "His eyes moved, though. They tracked every shadow..." -> This is consistent. No violation here.

Let's re-scan carefully.

Paragraph 2: "Brother Hemmen ... his ashen eyes turned toward the Spire".
Codex 125 Brother Hemmen: Aliases "the Eyeless". Attributes: Species Human, Gender Male, HairColor White. No EyeColor listed. The alias "the Eyeless" strongly implies he has no eyes. The text says "his ashen eyes turned". This is a contradiction between the alias (canonical fact of being eyeless) and the text describing eyes.
Violation: Entry 125, detail "aliases" (or implied physical state). The codex defines him as "the Eyeless". The text gives him "ashen eyes".

Paragraph 4: "Captain Mettik, a human soldier..."
Codex 139 Captain Mettik: Species Human. Consistent.
Codex 114 Mettik: No details.
Wait, is there a conflict between 114 and 139? No, same name. 139 adds species. Text says human. Consistent.

Paragraph 4: "Queen Veredine ... an elf who commanded the living and the dead ... Her army, the Pallid Host, were the restless dead..."
Codex 137 Queen Veredine: Species Elf. Consistent.
Codex 149 The Pallid Host: No details. Text describes them as restless dead. Consistent with lore context? Codex doesn't contradict.

Paragraph 5: "Osrik Pallengrave ... Tiefling ... black hair ... red eyes ... blade: Harrowglass ... obsidian edge ... Void-touched ... Hungering Edge".
Codex 136 Osrik: Tiefling, Black hair, Red eyes. Consistent.
Codex 143 Harrowglass: Material Obsidian, Power Void, Aliases "the Hungering Edge". Consistent.

Paragraph 6: "Torben ... green eyes".
Codex 100 Torben: Green eyes. Consistent.
"Behind Torben, Grunn was already reaching for ... the Warden's Mail, silver chain that hummed with pale light when he donned it..."
Codex 144 Warden's Mail: Material Silver chain, Power Light. Consistent.
Text says Grunn dons it. Codex 111 Grunn is a Dwarf. No restriction.

Paragraph 7: "The Binding of Reshkai ... sealed in The Hollow..."
Codex 132 Binding of Reshkai. Codex 126 The Hollow. Consistent.
"The Felling broke the world two centuries ago."
Codex 109 The Felling: TimePeriod "Two centuries ago". Consistent.
"Nightbell ... bronze bell ... begins the Tithe of Echoes."
Codex 145 Nightbell: Material Bronze. Consistent.
Codex 148 Tithe of Echoes: Category Tradition. Consistent.
"The Watcher's Prophecy ... carved into the foundation stone..."
Codex 147 Watcher's Prophecy. Consistent.

Paragraph 8: "Sable drew Kindling. The dark iron blade ... fire along its edge..."
Codex 101 Sable. No weapon specified in codex for her, but she is drawing Kindling.
Codex 107 Kindling: Material Dark iron, Power Fire. Consistent.
"Wren Hessik died at your hands,"
Codex 138 Wren Hessik. No death recorded in codex, so text asserting death isn't a contradiction of a static fact unless codex says she is alive. Codex is silent on status.
"Petal. My sister."
Codex 103 Petal Dunmore. Codex 101 Sable Dunmore. Same surname implies relation, text confirms sister. Consistent.

Paragraph 9: "Grunn met the first one with the Warden's Mail blazing and Burden still strapped to his back — then swung the great mace free..."
Codex 118 Burden: Material Bone and iron, ObjectType Weapon, Power Light.
Text calls it a "great mace". Codex doesn't specify weapon type, just "Weapon". "Mace" is a subtype. Not a contradiction.
"Hemmen ... the Verity Beads clicking between his fingers..."
Codex 130 Verity Beads: Material Bone. Consistent.
"Kindling's edge ... Warden's Mail ... Harrowglass". Consistent.

Re-evaluating Brother Hemmen (Entry 125).
Codex: ` aliases="the Eyeless"`.
Text: `his ashen eyes turned toward the Spire`.
Contradiction: A character alias "the Eyeless" possessing "ashen eyes" is a direct factual contradiction regarding his physical description implied by the canonical alias.

Are there any others?
Check locations.
Text: "The Spire of Echoes rose from the mountain's shoulder". Codex 140: Terrain Mountain. Consistent.
Text: "descended into the Sanctum". Codex 141 The Sanctum. Consistent.
Text: "Hatchwell ... burned". Codex 142 Hatchwell. No contradiction (codex doesn't say it exists today).
Text: "The Felling ... two centuries ago". Codex 109: Two centuries ago. Consistent.
Text: "Riven War ... thousand years before the Felling". Codex 146: A thousand years before the Felling. Consistent.

Check items again.
Text: "Burden ... great mace". Codex 118: Weapon. (OK).
Text: "Kindling ... dark iron ... fire". Codex 107: Dark iron, Fire. (OK).
Text: "Harrowglass ... obsidian ... Void ... Hungering Edge". Codex 143: Obsidian, Void, Hungering Edge. (OK).
Text: "Warden's Mail ... silver chain ... Light". Codex 144: Silver chain, Light. (OK).
Text: "Nightbell ... bronze". Codex 145: Bronze. (OK).
Text: "Verity Beads". Codex 130: Bone. (OK).

Check characters again.
Torben: Green eyes (Text) vs Green (Codex). OK.
Sable: No physical description in text other than "jaw set". Codex: Brown eyes, Auburn hair. Text doesn't contradict.
Grunn: Amber eyes (Codex). Text: "His eyes moved". OK.
Iselda: "pale features", "white" (blur of white). Codex: White hair, Violet eyes. Text doesn't specify eye color, mentions pale features. OK.
Hemmen: "ashen eyes". Codex: "the Eyeless". CONTRADICTION.
Osrik: Red eyes, black hair, Tiefling. Codex: Red eyes, black hair, Tiefling. OK.
Mettik: Human. Codex: Human. OK.

Is there a violation with "The Pallid Host"?
Codex 149: Just the name.
Text: "restless dead". Not a contradiction.

Is there a violation with "The Hollow"?
Codex 126: Just the name.
Text: "What was sealed in The Hollow". OK.

Is there a violation with "Root-tongue" or "Greenveil"? Not mentioned.

Wait, check Paragraph 2 again regarding Grunn.
"Behind her, the dwarf Grunn — Old Tetch — leaned on a broken wall..."
Codex 111: Species Dwarf. OK.

Check Paragraph 8: "Sable drew Kindling."
Codex 107 Kindling is a Weapon.
Codex 101 Sable is a character.
No ownership specified in codex, so her drawing it is not a contradiction.

Check Paragraph 9: "Grunn ... Burden still strapped to his back".
Codex 118 Burden is a Weapon.
No ownership specified.

One potential subtle one:
Text: "Captain Mettik, a human soldier..."
Codex 139: Captain Mettik, Species Human.
Codex 114: Mettik.
Is there a conflict? No.

What about "The Felling reached the coast"?
Codex 106 Dunmore: Terrain Coastal.
Text says "when The Felling reached the coast". Sable is from Dunmore (implied by name). Consistent.

Let's double check Hemmen's eyes.
Codex: `<character id="125" name="Brother Hemmen" aliases="the Eyeless">`
Text: `his ashen eyes turned toward the Spire`
This is the only clear contradiction. The alias "the Eyeless" is a canonical definition of the character's state (lacking eyes), which contradicts the text describing his eyes moving and having a color (ashen).

Are there any date contradictions?
"Riven War ... thousand years before the Felling" (Text) vs "A thousand years before the Felling" (Codex 146). Exact match.
"Felling ... two centuries ago" (Text) vs "Two centuries ago" (Codex 109). Exact match.

Any location contradictions?
"Spire of Echoes ... mountain" (Text) vs "Mountain" (Codex 140). Match.
"Sanctum" (Text) vs "The Sanctum" (Codex 141). Match.
"Hatchwell" (Text) vs "Hatchwell" (Codex 142). Match.
"The Hollow" (Text) vs "The Hollow" (Codex 126). Match.

Item materials?
Kindling: Dark iron (Text) vs Dark iron (Codex). Match.
Harrowglass: Obsidian (Text) vs Obsidian (Codex). Match.
Warden's Mail: Silver chain (Text) vs Silver chain (Codex). Match.
Nightbell: Bronze (Text) vs Bronze (Codex). Match.
Verity Beads: Bone (implied by name/context? Text doesn't specify material, just "Verity Beads clicking"). Codex says Bone. No contradiction in text.
Burden: Text says "great mace". Codex says "Weapon". No contradiction.

Wait, look at Paragraph 9: "Hemmen stood in the center of the chamber with his hands open and his ashen eyes closed".
Again, "ashen eyes closed". He shouldn't have eyes.

Is there anything about "Petal's Locket"?
Text mentions Petal died. Doesn't mention the locket. No violation.

Is there anything about "Amma's Ring"? Not mentioned.

Conclusion: Only Brother Hemmen's eyes.

Wait, let me look closer at Grunn in paragraph 9.
"Grunn met the first one with the Warden's Mail blazing and Burden still strapped to his back — then swung the great mace free"
Codex 144: Warden's Mail is Armor.
Codex 118: Burden is a Weapon.
Text implies he is wearing the Mail ("blazing", "donned it" in para 6) and wielding Burden.
Para 6: "Grunn was already reaching for what hung on the wall behind him — the Warden's Mail... settling over his shoulders".
Para 9: "with the Warden's Mail blazing".
This seems consistent.

Let's re-read the Hemmen entry.
`<character id="125" name="Brother Hemmen" aliases="the Eyeless">`
The alias is part of the canonical identity. If a character is known as "the Eyeless", they canonically lack eyes. The text explicitly attributes "ashen eyes" to him twice. This is a violation.

Are there any others?
"Sable ... her jaw set". Codex doesn't describe jaw.
"Iselda ... pale features". Codex: White hair, Violet eyes. "Pale features" is vague, not a contradiction.
"Osrik ... horns swept back". Codex: Tiefling. Tieflings have horns. Consistent.

One more check: "The Pallid Host were the restless dead".
Codex 149: The Pallid Host. No description.
Codex 137: Queen Veredine.
Lore 146: Riven War.
Text connects them. No contradiction found in codex to refute "restless dead".

Final check on "Burden".
Codex 118: ` <material>Bone and iron</material>`.
Text: "swung the great mace free".
Does not mention material. No contradiction.

Final check on "Kindling".
Codex 107: ` <material>Dark iron</material>`.
Text: "dark iron blade". Match.

Final check on "Harrowglass".
Codex 143: ` <material>Obsidian</material>`.
Text: "obsidian edge". Match.

Final check on "Nightbell".
Codex 145: ` <material>Bronze</material>`.
Text: "bronze bell". Match.

Final check on "Warden's Mail".
Codex 144: ` <material>Silver chain</material>`.
Text: "silver chain". Match.

It seems only Hemmen's eyes are the issue.

Wait, is "Old Tetch" correct for Grunn?
Codex 111: `aliases="Old Tetch"`. Text: "Grunn — Old Tetch". Match.

Is "Stray" correct for Torben?
Codex 100: `aliases="Stray"`. Text: "Torben — Stray". Match.

Is "the Eyeless" correct for Hemmen?
Codex 125: `aliases="the Eyeless"`. Text: "Brother Hemmen — the Eyeless". Match.
But then the text says he has eyes. That's the contradiction.

Is "the Pale" correct for Osrik?
Codex 136: `aliases="the Pale"`. Text: "The Pale, they called him". Match.

Is "Veredine the Undying" correct?
Codex 137: `aliases="Veredine the Undying"`. Text: "Queen Veredine — Veredine the Undying". Match.

Is "the Hungering Edge" correct for Harrowglass?
Codex 143: `aliases="the Hungering Edge"`. Text: "Some called it the Hungering Edge". Match.

Okay, just the eyes.

Wait, looking at Paragraph 2 again.
"Brother Hemmen — the Eyeless — had arrived before any of them... his ashen eyes turned toward the Spire"
Violation confirmed.

Is there a violation with "Mettik"?
Text: "Captain Mettik".
Codex 139: "Captain Mettik".
Codex 114: "Mettik".
Consistent.

Is there a violation with "Wren Hessik"?
Text: "Wren Hessik died".
Codex 138: "Wren Hessik".
No status in codex. Not a violation.

Is there a violation with "Petal"?
Text: "Petal. My sister."
Codex 103: "Petal Dunmore".
Codex 101: "Sable Dunmore".
Consistent.

Is there a violation with "The Felling reached the coast"?
Codex 106 Dunmore is Coastal. Sable (from Dunmore) references it. Plausible. Not a contradiction.

One detail: "The Felling broke the world two centuries ago."
Codex 109: "Two centuries ago".
Text: "two centuries ago".

"The Riven War ... A thousand years before the Felling."
Codex 146: "A thousand years before the Felling".
Match.

I am confident only the Hemmen eye color/existence is a violation.

Wait, does "ashen" contradict "White" hair for Hemmen?
Codex 125: HairColor White.
Text: "ashen eyes".
"Ashen" usually means pale gray or white. If the text said "ashen hair", it would match "White". But it says "ashen eyes". Since he is "the Eyeless", any eye description is wrong.

One more thing: "Grunn's shoulders scraped stone on both sides."
Codex 111: Species Dwarf.
Dwarves are typically short/stout. A narrow stair scraping shoulders fits. No contradiction.

"Iselda ... blur of white and translucent wing".
Codex 124: Iselda Moth. Hair White.
"Translucent wing"? Codex doesn't mention wings. But "Moth" surname might imply it? Or maybe she is a specific creature?
Codex 124 only lists Gender, EyeColor, HairColor. It does NOT list Species or Wings.
If the codex doesn't say she *doesn't* have wings, is it a violation?
The prompt says: "only flag direct contradictions".
If the codex is silent on species/wings, adding wings is not a direct contradiction unless the codex implies she is Human or something without wings.
Codex 124 does not list Species.
Codex 101 Sable lists Species: Human.
Codex 111 Grunn lists Species: Dwarf.
Codex 136 Osrik lists Species: Tiefling.
Codex 125 Hemmen lists Species: Human.
Codex 139 Mettik lists Species: Human.
Codex 137 Veredine lists Species: Elf.
Codex 124 Iselda Moth does NOT list Species.
Therefore, we cannot confirm she *cannot* have wings. It might be inferred from the name "Moth", but without an explicit "Species: Human" or similar restriction in the codex, stating she has wings is not a *contradiction* of the provided text. It's an expansion. I will skip this.

Same for "translucent wing".

So, just Hemmen.

Wait, check the item "Burden" again.
Text: "Burden still strapped to his back — then swung the great mace free".
Codex 118: Name "Burden".
Text calls it a "great mace".
Codex ObjectType: "Weapon".
A mace is a weapon. No contradiction.

Check "Kindling".
Text: "dark iron blade".
Codex 107: ObjectType "Weapon". Material "Dark iron".
Is Kindling a sword (blade) or something else? "Blade" is generic for cutting weapon. No contradiction.

Check "Harrowglass".
Text: "obsidian edge".
Codex 143: Material "Obsidian".
No contradiction.

Final decision: Only Brother Hemmen's eyes.

<violation entry="125" detail="aliases" paragraph="2" substring="his ashen eyes turned toward the Spire">The character is aliased "the Eyeless" in the codex, implying he has no eyes, but the text describes him having "ashen eyes" that turn.</violation>
<violation entry="125" detail="aliases" paragraph="9" substring="his ashen eyes closed">The character is aliased "the Eyeless" in the codex, implying he has no eyes, but the text describes him having "ashen eyes" that close.</violation>

Wait, should I use "eyeColor" as the detail? The codex entry 125 does not have an `eyeColor` attribute. It only has `aliases`. The contradiction is with the `aliases` value "the Eyeless". Or perhaps the detail should be "physicalDescription"? The instructions say "use the exact name of the codex element or attribute that is contradicted".
Since there is no `eyeColor` attribute for 125, I cannot say `detail="eyeColor"`.
The attribute that creates the constraint is `aliases`. The value "the Eyeless" contradicts the presence of eyes.
Alternatively, is it a violation of the character's implicit definition?
Let's look at the example: `entry="1234" detail="hairColor"`. The codex had a hairColor attribute.
Here, the codex lacks eyeColor. But the alias "the Eyeless" serves as the canonical truth about his eyes (that they don't exist).
If I must pick an existing attribute, `aliases` is the one containing the conflicting info ("the Eyeless").
Or maybe I should check if I missed an attribute in 125?
`<character id="125" name="Brother Hemmen" aliases="the Eyeless"> <species>Human</species> <gender>Male</gender> <hairColor>White</hairColor> </character>`
No eyeColor.
So the detail must be `aliases` because that's where the "Eyeless" fact lives.

Actually, looking at the prompt: "wrong eye color... swapped left/right".
If the codex doesn't list eye color, but the text does, is it a violation? Usually no, unless the codex implies otherwise (like "Eyeless").
So the violation is against the `aliases` attribute which defines him as "the Eyeless".

One more check: Paragraph 2 says "Brother Hemmen — the Eyeless". Paragraph 9 says "Hemmen".
The violations are in paragraph 2 and 9.

<violation entry="125" detail="aliases" paragraph="2" substring="his ashen eyes turned toward the Spire">The codex defines the character with the alias "the Eyeless", indicating he has no eyes, yet the text describes his "ashen eyes" turning.</violation>
<violation entry="125" detail="aliases" paragraph="9" substring="his ashen eyes closed">The codex defines the character with the alias "the Eyeless", indicating he has no eyes, yet the text describes his "ashen eyes" closing.</violation>

Is there any other?
What about "The Felling broke the world two centuries ago"?

Text: "two centuries ago".
Matches.

I think that's it.

Wait, is there a violation with "Queen Veredine ... an elf"?
Codex 137: Species Elf.
Text: "an elf".
Match.

"Captain Mettik, a human soldier".
Codex 139: Species Human.
Match.

"Grunn ... the dwarf".

"Sable ... Human"? Text doesn't say. Codex says Human. No conflict.

"Iselda"? Text doesn't say species. Codex doesn't say species. No conflict.

Okay, sticking with the two Hemmen violations.

One tiny check: "The Spire of Echoes rose from the mountain's shoulder".
Codex 140: The Spire of Echoes. Terrain: Mountain.
Text: "mountain's shoulder".
Consistent.

"Sanctum ... carved from the mountain's root".
Codex 141: The Sanctum.
Consistent.

"Hatchwell ... town that stood at the mountain's base".
Codex 142: Hatchwell.
Consistent.

"The Hollow".
Codex 126: The Hollow.
Consistent.

"The Fathom Stair"? Not in text.
"The Rusty Lantern"? Not in text.
"Kettlebridge"? Not in text.
"Port Gessik"? Not in text.
"Moth Hall"? Not in text.
"The Thornveil"? Not in text.
"Dunmore"? Mentioned indirectly via "coast" and Sable's last name. Not a violation.

Final check on the XML format.
`<violation entry="ID" detail="ATTR" paragraph="N" substring="TEXT">Explanation</violation>`

The detail attribute name: Since `eyeColor` doesn't exist in the codex for entry 125, using `eyeColor` as the detail might be confusing if the validator expects an existing attribute name. The contradiction arises from the `aliases` attribute ("the Eyeless"). So `detail="aliases"` is the most accurate reference to the codex element being contradicted.

<violation entry="125" detail="aliases" paragraph="2" substring="his ashen eyes turned toward the Spire">The character is canonically alias-ed "the Eyeless", implying the absence of eyes, but the text describes his eyes turning.</violation>
<violation entry="125" detail="aliases" paragraph="9" substring="his ashen eyes closed">The character is canonically alias-ed "the Eyeless", implying the absence of eyes, but the text describes his eyes closing.</violation>

Wait, could "detail" be something like "physicalState"? No, the instruction says "use the exact name of the codex element or attribute". `aliases` is the exact name.

One last check: Does the text say "Human" for Hemmen? No.
Does it say "Human" for anyone else correctly?
Mettik: Human (Codex 139: Human). OK.
Grunn: Dwarf (Codex 111: Dwarf). OK.
Osrik: Tiefling (Codex 136: Tiefling). OK.
Veredine: Elf (Codex 137: Elf). OK.

Okay, ready.

<violation entry="125" detail="aliases" paragraph="2" substring="his ashen eyes turned toward the Spire">The codex defines the character with the alias "the Eyeless", which contradicts the text describing him as having "ashen eyes" that turn.</violation>
<violation entry="125" detail="aliases" paragraph="9" substring="his ashen eyes closed">The codex defines the character with the alias "the Eyeless", which contradicts the text describing him as having "ashen eyes" that are closed.</violation>
