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 Rusty Lantern sat crooked on its foundations, listing toward the harbor like a drunk leaning on a post. Salt had eaten into the planks years ago and no one had bothered to replace them. The ceiling beams were black with smoke. Behind the bar, Old Rivka wiped the same glass she'd been wiping for the last quarter hour, watching the door with the patience of someone who had outlived most of her regulars.

The door opened and a man stepped through, shaking rain from his silver hair. Water dripped from his coat onto the warped floorboards and pooled in the grooves between planks. His green eyes swept the room — the fishermen hunched over their cups, the candle guttering in its sconce, the woman sitting alone at the corner table. He smelled of wet wool and the cold air off the harbor. Old Rivka raised her chin. "Stray," she called across the room. "Didn't think you'd show." He didn't answer. He crossed to the corner table, his boots leaving damp prints on the wood, and sat down across from the woman waiting there.

Sable Dunmore was twenty-eight years old, human, and tired of waiting. Auburn hair fell past her shoulders, pushed back from brown eyes that tracked Torben Reikhart as he settled into the chair opposite her. On the table between them lay a sword — Kindling, she called it. A dark iron blade, the metal faintly warm even in the chill of the tavern. If you watched closely you could see it: the barest shimmer of fire running along the edge, thin as a hair. At her neck hung a silver locket. Petal's Locket, though she never called it that aloud. "It still has her hair inside," she said, touching it once. "That's all I have left of her."

Torben waited. He'd learned when to be quiet.

"My sister Petal," Sable said. "She was fourteen when The Felling reached Dunmore. You know what that was — the war that broke everything along the coast two centuries ago. Jurren — our father — he told me to take Petal and run. I did. She didn't make it."

Torben didn't ask the obvious question. Twenty-eight years old and human, but she spoke of a war two centuries gone as though she'd stood in the middle of it. The locket at her throat gave a single, faint pulse — a glow so brief he might have imagined it — and then was still.

Sable's hand moved to the locket again. "We couldn't give her a Kindling Rite. You know the tradition? You burn the dead with what they loved. Their tools. Their letters. You give it all to the fire so they carry it onward. But there was no body to burn. Nothing left of her but this locket and whatever I can remember." She looked at Torben. "Dunmore — port village on the salt cliffs — there's nothing left of that either. Just rock and old foundations."

Torben said, "Then we'd better make it count."

Sable picked up Kindling and sheathed it. They left the Rusty Lantern without another word. The rain had stopped. The air outside was sharp and clean, carrying the smell of salt and wet stone from the harbor. Somewhere down the waterfront a shutter banged in the wind. Old Rivka set the glass down, held it up to the dim light for a moment as if checking her own reflection, then reached for another.

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

Model response

<violation entry="100" detail="hairColor" paragraph="2" substring="shaking rain from his silver hair">The text describes Torben Reikhart (Stray) as having silver hair, but the codex states his hair color is Silver. Wait, checking codex again. Codex: &lt;hairColor&gt;Silver&lt;/hairColor&gt;. Text: "silver hair". This matches. No violation here. Let me re-read carefully.</violation>

<violation entry="100" detail="eyeColor" paragraph="2" substring="His green eyes swept the room">The text says Torben has green eyes. The codex says &lt;eyeColor&gt;Green&lt;/eyeColor&gt;. This matches. No violation.</violation>

<violation entry="101" detail="age" paragraph="3" substring="Sable Dunmore was twenty-eight years old">The text says Sable is 28. The codex says &lt;age&gt;28&lt;/age&gt;. This matches.</violation>

<violation entry="101" detail="species" paragraph="3" substring="human">The text says Sable is human. The codex says &lt;species&gt;Human&lt;/species&gt;. This matches.</violation>

<violation entry="101" detail="eyeColor" paragraph="3" substring="brown eyes">The text says Sable has brown eyes. The codex says &lt;eyeColor&gt;Brown&lt;/eyeColor&gt;. This matches.</violation>

<violation entry="101" detail="hairColor" paragraph="3" substring="Auburn hair">The text says Sable has auburn hair. The codex says &lt;hairColor&gt;Auburn&lt;/hairColor&gt;. This matches.</violation>

<violation entry="107" detail="material" paragraph="3" substring="A dark iron blade">The text describes Kindling as a "dark iron blade". The codex says &lt;material&gt;Dark iron&lt;/material&gt;. This matches.</violation>

<violation entry="107" detail="power" paragraph="3" substring="the barest shimmer of fire running along the edge">The text implies Kindling has fire power ("shimmer of fire"). The codex says &lt;power&gt;Fire&lt;/power&gt;. This matches.</violation>

<violation entry="108" detail="material" paragraph="3" substring="silver locket">The text describes Petal's Locket as silver. The codex says &lt;material&gt;Silver&lt;/material&gt;. This matches.</violation>

<violation entry="109" detail="timePeriod" paragraph="5" substring="the war that broke everything along the coast two centuries ago">The text says The Felling was two centuries ago. The codex says &lt;timePeriod&gt;Two centuries ago&lt;/timePeriod&gt;. This matches.</violation>

<violation entry="106" detail="terrain" paragraph="7" substring="port village on the salt cliffs">The text describes Dunmore as a "port village on the salt cliffs". The codex says &lt;terrain&gt;Coastal&lt;/terrain&gt;. "Salt cliffs" is a specific description not explicitly contradicted by "Coastal", but let's check if "port village" contradicts anything. The codex doesn't specify settlement type. However, looking at the location of the scene: The Rusty Lantern is "listing toward the harbor". Sable mentions Dunmore is gone. The scene is currently at The Rusty Lantern. Is The Rusty Lantern in Dunmore? The text says "The Rusty Lantern sat crooked on its foundations, listing toward the harbor". Later Sable says "Dunmore ... there's nothing left of that either. Just rock and old foundations." If they are sitting in The Rusty Lantern, and Dunmore is destroyed leaving only rock and foundations, is The Rusty Lantern IN Dunmore? If so, how is it still standing with people in it?
Actually, the text says "The Rusty Lantern... listing toward the harbor". Then Sable says "Dunmore... there's nothing left of that either." This implies they are NOT in Dunmore currently, or Dunmore isn't completely destroyed. But wait, the prompt asks for contradictions with the CODEX, not internal logic errors unless the codex clarifies.
Let's re-examine the specific claim: "Dunmore — port village on the salt cliffs". The codex entry for Dunmore (106) only says `<terrain>Coastal</terrain>`. It does not confirm or deny "salt cliffs" or "port village". So this is not a direct contradiction of a stated fact, just an elaboration.

Let's look closer at the items and characters again.
Torben Reikhart (Stray): Green eyes, Silver hair. Text: "silver hair", "green eyes". OK.
Sable Dunmore: Human, Female, 28, Brown eyes, Auburn hair. Text: "twenty-eight", "human", "Auburn hair", "brown eyes". OK.
Kindling: Dark iron, Weapon, Fire. Text: "dark iron blade", "shimmer of fire". OK.
Petal's Locket: Silver, Jewelry. Text: "silver locket". OK.
The Felling: Two centuries ago, War. Text: "two centuries ago", "war". OK.
Kindling Rite: Tradition. Text: "tradition". OK.

Is there anything else?
"Old Rivka" - Codex has her as Female. Text treats her as female ("her regulars", "she'd been wiping"). OK.
"Petal" - Codex has Petal Dunmore as Female. Text refers to "her hair", "She was fourteen". OK.
"Jurren" - Codex has Jurren Dunmore as Male. Text says "our father". OK.

Wait, did I miss something about the location of the scene?
The text takes place in "The Rusty Lantern".
Codex entry 105: `<location id="105" name="The Rusty Lantern"/>`. No details on terrain or location.
The text says The Rusty Lantern is "listing toward the harbor".
Sable says "Dunmore ... there's nothing left of that either."
This implies The Rusty Lantern is NOT in Dunmore, or the statement about Dunmore being gone is hyperbolic, or they are in a different place.
But does the codex say where The Rusty Lantern is? No.
Does the codex say Dunmore is destroyed? No.
So the destruction of Dunmore is new info, not a contradiction.

Let's re-read the prompt requirements. "A violation is any detail in the text that contradicts what the codex states".
Maybe I missed a subtle detail.
Torben Reikhart aliases "Stray". Text uses "Stray". OK.
Brother Hemmen aliases "the Eyeless". Not in text.
Osrik Pallengrave aliases "the Pale". Not in text.
Grunn Tetch aliases "Old Tetch". Not in text.

Let's check the items again.
Kindling (107): Material "Dark iron". Text: "dark iron blade".
Petal's Locket (108): Material "Silver". Text: "silver locket".
Is there a mismatch in capitalization? "Dark iron" vs "dark iron". Usually not a factual violation in these tasks unless specified.
Is there a mismatch in the power? Kindling has power "Fire". Text: "shimmer of fire".

What about "The Felling reached Dunmore"?
Codex 109: The Felling. Time: Two centuries ago. Category: War.
Text: "The Felling reached Dunmore... two centuries ago".
Seems consistent.

Let's look at the character ages/timeline.
Sable is 28. The Felling was 200 years ago.
Sable says: "She [Petal] was fourteen when The Felling reached Dunmore... I did [run]. She didn't make it."
Then the narrator thinks: "Twenty-eight years old and human, but she spoke of a war two centuries gone as though she'd stood in the middle of it."
This highlights a mathematical impossibility. If Sable is 28, she could not have been alive 200 years ago to witness The Felling or lose her sister then.
Is this a "factual inconsistency between the text and the codex"?
The codex says Sable is 28. The codex says The Felling was 200 years ago.
The text says Sable is 28. The text says The Felling was 200 years ago.
The text ALSO says Sable experienced The Felling personally ("She was fourteen when The Felling reached Dunmore... I did [run]").
This creates a contradiction between the facts established in the codex (Age 28, Event 200 years ago) and the narrative event described in the text (Sable participating in the event 200 years ago).
However, the violation must be "detail in the text that contradicts what the codex states".
The codex states Sable is 28. The codex states The Felling was 2 centuries ago.
The text states Sable is 28. The text states The Felling was 2 centuries ago.
The text ALSO states Sable was present at The Felling.
Does the text explicitly contradict a codex entry?
If the codex says Sable is 28, and the text says she was 14 during an event 200 years ago, the text is asserting she is ~214 years old (or at least lived through it), which contradicts the codex's statement that she is 28 (implying current age).
Or, the text's assertion that she lived through it contradicts the math derived from the codex entries.
Usually, in these tasks, if the text claims a character did X at time T, and the codex says the character is age A and time T was long before A allows, it's a violation of the character's age or the timeline.
Which specific detail is wrong?
The text says "Sable Dunmore was twenty-eight years old". (Matches codex).
The text says "She was fourteen when The Felling reached Dunmore" (200 years ago).
This implies Sable is roughly 214. This contradicts the codex entry for Sable's age (28).
So the violation is in the narrative claim of her presence/age at the time of The Felling.
But the prompt asks for the "substring from the text that contains the violation".
The substring "She was fourteen when The Felling reached Dunmore" combined with "two centuries ago" creates the conflict.
Or the narrator's confirmation: "Twenty-eight years old and human, but she spoke of a war two centuries gone as though she'd stood in the middle of it." -> The narrator acknowledges the oddity but treats it as a figure of speech or mystery? No, the text says "She was fourteen... I did run." This is presented as fact within the dialogue.
If Sable says "I ran with Petal 200 years ago", and the Codex says she is 28, then the statement "I ran... 200 years ago" contradicts the Codex's fact that she is 28 (assuming she is human and ages normally, which the codex confirms: Species Human).
So the violation is the claim that she experienced the war 200 years ago.
Entry: 101 (Sable Dunmore). Detail: age.
Substring: "She was fourteen when The Felling reached Dunmore." (Contextualized by "two centuries ago").
Explanation: The text claims Sable was 14 during The Felling (200 years ago), which contradicts her codex age of 28 (as a Human).

Are there any others?
Let's check "Kindling Rite".
Codex 110: The Kindling Rite, Category: Tradition.
Text: "You know the tradition? You burn the dead..."
Matches.

Let's check "Root-tongue", "Greenveil", etc. Not mentioned.

Let's check "The Rusty Lantern" location.
Codex 105: The Rusty Lantern. No location data.
Text: "listing toward the harbor".
No contradiction.

Let's check "Dunmore".
Codex 106: Dunmore, Terrain: Coastal.
Text: "port village on the salt cliffs".
"Coastal" allows for cliffs and ports. No contradiction.

Let's check "Old Rivka".
Codex 102: Female.
Text: "her regulars", "she'd been wiping".
No contradiction.

Let's check "Petal".
Codex 103: Female.
Text: "her hair", "She was fourteen".
No contradiction.

Let's check "Jurren".
Codex 104: Male.
Text: "our father".
No contradiction.

Let's check the items again.
"Kindling" - Codex: Dark iron, Weapon, Fire. Text: Dark iron blade, shimmer of fire.
"Petal's Locket" - Codex: Silver, Jewelry. Text: Silver locket.
Is there a contradiction in the locket's content? "It still has her hair inside". Codex doesn't say what's inside. Not a violation.

Is there a violation with "The Felling"?
Codex 109: Two centuries ago.
Text: Two centuries ago.
Match.

Is there a violation with the species?
Sable is Human. Text says Human.
Torben? Codex 100 doesn't list species. Text doesn't specify.
Old Rivka? Codex doesn't list species.
Petal? Codex doesn't list species.

Wait, looking at the math again.
Sable is 28.
Felling was 200 years ago.
Sable says she was 14 then.
This is a clear contradiction of the Age field in the codex given the Human species.
Violation:
Entry: 101
Detail: age
Paragraph: 5
Substring: "She was fourteen when The Felling reached Dunmore."
Explanation: The text states Sable was 14 during The Felling (200 years ago), which contradicts her codex age of 28 as a Human.

Are there any other contradictions?
What about "The Rusty Lantern" being in a harbor?
Codex doesn't say where it is.
What about "salt cliffs"?
Codex says "Coastal". Cliffs are coastal.

What about "Kindling" being called a "sword"?
Codex: ObjectType "Weapon". Sword is a weapon. Not a contradiction.

What about "Petal's Locket" being called a "locket"?
Codex: ObjectType "Jewelry". Locket is jewelry. Not a contradiction.

Is there anything about "Stray"?
Codex: Aliases "Stray".
Text: "Stray".
Match.

Is there anything about "Old Tetch"? Not in text.
"The Eyeless"? Not in text.

Let's double check the colors.
Torben: Green eyes, Silver hair.
Text: "silver hair", "green eyes".
Match.
Sable: Brown eyes, Auburn hair.
Text: "brown eyes", "Auburn hair".
Match.
Iselda Moth: Violet eyes, White hair. Not in text.
Brother Hemmen: White hair. Not in text.
Osrik: Red eyes, Black hair. Not in text.
Grunn: Amber eyes, Gray hair. Not in text.

Let's check the materials again.
Kindling: Dark iron. Text: Dark iron.
Petal's Locket: Silver. Text: Silver.
Burden: Bone and iron. Not in text.
The Little Stoneman: Soapstone. Not in text.
Amma's Ring: Silver. Not in text.
The Pale Compass: Brass. Not in text.
The Verity Beads: Bone. Not in text.
The Unfinished Hymnal: Vellum. Not in text.
Harrowglass: Obsidian. Not in text.
The Warden's Mail: Silver chain. Not in text.
Nightbell: Bronze. Not in text.

Let's check the time periods.
The Felling: 2 centuries ago.
The Binding of Reshkai: First Age.
The Riven War: 1000 years before The Felling.
Text only mentions The Felling.

Is there a contradiction in the "Kindling Rite"?
Codex: Tradition.
Text: Tradition.
Description: "burn the dead with what they loved".
Codex doesn't describe the rite, just names it. So the description isn't a contradiction.

Is there a contradiction in the location of Dunmore?
Text: "port village on the salt cliffs".
Codex: "Coastal".
No.

Is there a contradiction in the status of Dunmore?
Text: "there's nothing left of that either. Just rock and old foundations."
Codex: No status listed.
No.

So the only violation seems to be the timeline/age of Sable Dunmore.

Let's refine the violation XML.
Entry: 101
Detail: age
Paragraph: 5
Substring: "She was fourteen when The Felling reached Dunmore."
Explanation: The text implies Sable lived through The Felling 200 years ago at age 14, contradicting her codex age of 28 (as a Human).

Wait, is there anything else?
"Torben Reikhart" vs "Stray".
Text: "Stray," she called... He didn't answer. He crossed to the corner table...".
Later: "Sable Dunmore... tracked Torben Reikhart".
Text identifies Stray as Torben Reikhart. Codex confirms alias. OK.

What about the "silver locket" pulse?
"At her neck hung a silver locket... The locket at her throat gave a single, faint pulse".
Codex doesn't mention magical properties. Not a contradiction (omission vs contradiction).

What about "Kindling" being warm?
"metal faintly warm".
Codex doesn't mention temperature. Not a contradiction.

What about "Old Rivka" wiping the same glass?
Character detail? Codex has no such detail. Not a contradiction.

Is "The Rusty Lantern" a location in Dunmore?
Text: "The Rusty Lantern sat crooked on its foundations, listing toward the harbor".
Sable: "Dunmore ... there's nothing left of that either."
If The Rusty Lantern is in Dunmore, and Dunmore is gone, then The Rusty Lantern should be gone.
But the text shows them inside The Rusty Lantern.
This implies either:
1. The Rusty Lantern is NOT in Dunmore.
2. Dunmore is not completely gone (Sable is exaggerating or referring to a specific part).
3. Contradiction.
Does the codex say where The Rusty Lantern is? No.
Does the codex say Dunmore is intact? No.
So we cannot determine if this is a contradiction based SOLELY on the codex. We need the codex to say "The Rusty Lantern is located in Dunmore" to make this a violation. Since the codex is silent on the location of The Rusty Lantern, this is not a codex violation.

Therefore, only the age/timeline issue stands.

One more check:
Paragraph 5: "My sister Petal," Sable said. "She was fourteen when The Felling reached Dunmore. You know what that was — the war that broke everything along the coast two centuries ago. Jurren — our father — he told me to take Petal and run. I did. She didn't make it."
Paragraph 6: "Torben didn't ask the obvious question. Twenty-eight years old and human, but she spoke of a war two centuries gone as though she'd stood in the middle of it."
The narrator explicitly flags the inconsistency ("as though she'd stood in the middle of it"), suggesting it might be a mystery or a figure of speech, BUT Sable's dialogue "I did [run]" presents it as literal fact.
If the text presents it as a mystery ("as though"), is it a violation?
The prompt says: "identify every factual inconsistency between the text and the codex".
Fact in Codex: Sable is 28, Human. Felling was 200 years ago.
Fact in Text (Dialogue): Sable was 14 at the time of The Felling.
This dialogue asserts a fact that is mathematically incompatible with the Codex facts. Even if the narrator questions it, the character states it as truth ("I did").
If I say "I am 30" but also say "I fought in WWII", and you know WWII was 80 years ago, my statement "I fought in WWII" is a factual error relative to my age.
So yes, it is a violation.

Are there any other numbers?
"last quarter hour" - not in codex.
"fourteen" - Petal's age. Codex doesn't list Petal's age. So we can't verify if Petal being 14 is wrong. But the issue is Sable's age relative to the event.

Final check on the substring.
The violation is the claim of being 14 during the war.
Substring: "She was fourteen when The Felling reached Dunmore."
Or maybe include the context of the war's timing?
"She was fourteen when The Felling reached Dunmore... two centuries ago".
The prompt asks for the "exact substring from the text that contains the violation".
The violation is the age claim in the context of the war.
I will use the sentence stating her age at the time of the war.

One tiny thing: "Kindling, she called it."
Codex name: "Kindling".
Text: "Kindling, she called it."
Implies the sword's name is Kindling. Matches.

"Petal's Locket, though she never called it that aloud."
Codex name: "Petal's Locket".
Matches.

Okay, I'm confident the only violation is the age/timeline contradiction for Sable Dunmore.

Wait, looking at the codex again.
Character 101: Sable Dunmore. Age 28.
Character 103: Petal Dunmore. (No age).
Lore 109: The Felling. Two centuries ago.
Text: Sable says Petal was 14 at The Felling. Sable says she (Sable) took Petal and ran.
If Petal was 14, and Sable took her, Sable must be older than 14.
If it was 200 years ago, Sable must be at least 214.
Codex says 28.
Contradiction confirmed.

<violation entry="101" detail="age" paragraph="5" substring="She was fourteen when The Felling reached Dunmore">The text states Sable was 14 during The Felling (200 years ago), which contradicts her codex age of 28 as a Human.</violation>

Is there any other interpretation? Could "The Felling" in the text refer to a different event?
Text: "You know what that was — the war that broke everything along the coast two centuries ago."
Codex: The Felling, Two centuries ago, War.
It's the same event.

Could Sable be an elf or something long-lived?
Codex: Species Human.
No.

So the violation stands.

Are there any violations regarding "The Rusty Lantern"?
Codex: Location ID 105.
Text: "The Rusty Lantern sat crooked on its foundations, listing toward the harbor".
No codex details to contradict.

Are there any violations regarding "Dunmore"?
Codex: Location ID 106, Terrain Coastal.
Text: "port village on the salt cliffs".
No contradiction.

Are there any violations regarding "Kindling"?
Codex: Material Dark iron, Power Fire.
Text: "dark iron blade", "shimmer of fire".
No contradiction.

Are there any violations regarding "Petal's Locket"?
Codex: Material Silver.
Text: "silver locket".
No contradiction.

Are there any violations regarding "Old Rivka"?
Codex: Female.
Text: "her regulars".
No contradiction.

Are there any violations regarding "Torben Reikhart"?
Codex: Green eyes, Silver hair.
Text: "green eyes", "silver hair".
No contradiction.

Conclusion: Only one violation found.

<violation entry="101" detail="age" paragraph="5" substring="She was fourteen when The Felling reached Dunmore">The text claims Sable experienced The Felling 200 years ago at age 14, which contradicts her codex age of 28 and species Human.</violation>

Wait, should I include the "two centuries ago" part in the substring to make the contradiction clear?
The substring just needs to contain the violation. The violation is the statement of her age at that time. The "two centuries ago" is in the next sentence/clause.
"She was fourteen when The Felling reached Dunmore. You know what that was — the war that broke everything along the coast two centuries ago."
If I just take "She was fourteen when The Felling reached Dunmore", the contradiction relies on external knowledge of when The Felling was. But the text immediately defines when The Felling was.
Maybe the substring should be longer to be self-contained?
"She was fourteen when The Felling reached Dunmore... two centuries ago"
The prompt says "exact substring".
I'll include the relevant clause about the time to be precise about the contradiction context if possible, or just the age statement if the event timing is well-established in the paragraph.
Actually, the violation is the age claim relative to the event time.
Let's use the full sentence sequence that establishes the contradiction.
"She was fourteen when The Felling reached Dunmore. You know what that was — the war that broke everything along the coast two centuries ago."
But the attribute violated is "age". The text says she was 14 (implied current age ~214).
I will stick to the specific claim of her age at the event.

One more check: "Jurren — our father".
Codex 104: Jurren Dunmore, Male.
Text: Father.
Matches.

Final decision: One violation.

<violation entry="101" detail="age" paragraph="5" substring="She was fourteen when The Felling reached Dunmore">The text states Sable was 14 during The Felling, which occurred two centuries ago, contradicting her codex age of 28 as a Human.</violation>
