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="hairColor" paragraph="2" substring="the dwarf Grunn — Old Tetch — leaned on a broken wall">The text refers to him as "Old Tetch", but the codex lists his alias as "Old Tetch" while his name is "Grunn Tetch". However, the specific violation is in paragraph 5 where the text says "Grunn was already reaching for what hung on the wall behind him — the Warden's Mail". The codex (entry 144) defines "The Warden's Mail" as armor, not a weapon or item hanging on a wall ready to be grabbed in combat, but more critically, in paragraph 7, the text states "Grunn met the first one with the Warden's Mail blazing and Burden still strapped to his back". The codex (entry 118) describes "Burden" as a weapon (mace/hammer implied by context of swinging) made of "Bone and iron". The text says he swings "the great mace free". This matches. Let's re-examine.
Wait, I missed a clear one. Paragraph 2: "Brother Hemmen — the Eyeless — ... his ashen eyes turned toward the Spire". Entry 125 says "Brother Hemmen" aliases "the Eyeless". The alias "the Eyeless" implies he has no eyes. The text says "his ashen eyes turned toward the Spire" and later "his ashen eyes closed". This contradicts the alias/name which implies lack of eyes.
Let's look for color mismatches.
Paragraph 2: "Iselda ... her pale features". Codex 124: Hair "White", Eyes "Violet". "Pale features" is vague, not a direct contradiction.
Paragraph 2: "Captain Mettik, a human soldier". Codex 139: Species "Human". Correct.
Paragraph 4: "Hatchwell — the town that stood at the mountain's base". Codex 142: "Hatchwell". No location detail contradicts this.
Paragraph 4: "The Riven War ... A thousand years before the Felling." Codex 146: TimePeriod "A thousand years before the Felling". Correct.
Paragraph 4: "Queen Veredine ... an elf". Codex 137: Species "Elf". Correct.
Paragraph 5: "Osrik Pallengrave ... Tiefling ... black hair ... red eyes". Codex 136: Species "Tiefling", Hair "Black", Eye "Red". Correct.
Paragraph 5: "Harrowglass ... obsidian edge ... Void-touched". Codex 143: Material "Obsidian", Power "Void". Correct.
Paragraph 6: "Torben ... green eyes". Codex 100: EyeColor "Green". Correct.
Paragraph 6: "Grunn was already reaching for what hung on the wall behind him — the Warden's Mail". Codex 144 is "The Warden's Mail", Material "Silver chain", ObjectType "Armor". Armor hanging on a wall is plausible.
Paragraph 7: "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" is a weapon. Codex 144 "Warden's Mail" is armor. The text implies he is wearing the mail ("blazing") and swinging Burden. This seems consistent.
Paragraph 7: "Hemmen ... his ashen eyes closed". Codex 125 alias "the Eyeless". Having "ashen eyes" contradicts "the Eyeless".
Paragraph 7: "Verity Beads ... each bead catching a faint light". Codex 130 "The Verity Beads", Material "Bone". No power listed. Text says they catch light, not emit. Okay.
Paragraph 8: "Sable drew Kindling. The dark iron blade". Codex 107 "Kindling", Material "Dark iron", Power "Fire". Text says "fire along its edge flared". Consistent.
Paragraph 8: "Wren Hessik died at your hands". Codex 138 "Wren Hessik". No death info.
Paragraph 8: "Petal. My sister." Codex 103 "Petal Dunmore", 101 "Sable Dunmore". Same surname implies relation, likely sisters. Not a contradiction.
Paragraph 8: "The Felling reached the coast". Codex 106 "Dunmore" is "Coastal". Sable is a Dunmore. Plausible.
Paragraph 2 revisit: "Brother Hemmen — the Eyeless — ... his ashen eyes". This is a definite contradiction. The alias defines him as eyeless, yet the text gives him "ashen eyes" twice.
Are there others?
Paragraph 2: "Grunn — Old Tetch". Codex 111 aliases "Old Tetch". Correct.
Paragraph 4: "Pallid Host". Codex 149 "The Pallid Host". Correct.
Paragraph 4: "The Binding of Reshkai ... sealed in The Hollow". Codex 132 "The Binding of Reshkai", 126 "The Hollow". Correct.
Paragraph 6: "Warden's Mail, silver chain". Codex 144 material "Silver chain". Correct.
Paragraph 7: "Burden". Codex 118. Text calls it a "great mace". Codex doesn't specify shape, just "Weapon". Acceptable.
Paragraph 7: "Nightbell ... bronze bell". Codex 145 "Nightbell", Material "Bronze". Correct.
Paragraph 7: "Tithe of Echoes". Codex 148. Correct.
Paragraph 7: "Watcher's Prophecy". Codex 147. Correct.

Wait, check Paragraph 2 again regarding Grunn. "the dwarf Grunn — Old Tetch". Codex 111: Name "Grunn Tetch", Alias "Old Tetch". Correct.
Check Paragraph 4: "Hatchwell ... burned". Codex 142 just says "Hatchwell". No history.
Check Paragraph 5: "Osrik ... The Pale". Codex 136 Alias "the Pale". Correct.
Check Paragraph 5: "Harrowglass ... Hungering Edge". Codex 143 Alias "the Hungering Edge". Correct.

Is there a location mismatch?
Paragraph 1: "Spire of Echoes rose from the mountain's shoulder". Codex 140 "The Spire of Echoes", Terrain "Mountain". Correct.
Paragraph 3: "descended into the Sanctum". Codex 141 "The Sanctum". Correct.

Let's look closer at Hemmen.
Codex 125: `<character id="125" name="Brother Hemmen" aliases="the Eyeless"> ... <hairColor>White</hairColor> </character>`
Text Paragraph 2: "Brother Hemmen — the Eyeless — ... his ashen eyes turned toward the Spire"
Text Paragraph 7: "Hemmen stood in the center ... his ashen eyes closed"
Contradiction: The alias "the Eyeless" strongly implies the absence of eyes. The text explicitly describes him having "ashen eyes" that move and close. This is a factual contradiction based on the name/alias provided in the codex.

Are there any other subtle ones?
Text Paragraph 8: "Sable drew Kindling."
Codex 107: `Kindling` is a `Weapon` with `Power` `Fire`.
Text says "dark iron blade". Codex says `Material` "Dark iron".
Text says "fire along its edge flared". Codex says `Power` "Fire".
Seems fine.

Text Paragraph 7: "Grunn ... Warden's Mail ... Burden".
Codex 118 `Burden`: `Material` "Bone and iron".
Text Paragraph 7: "swung the great mace free".
No contradiction on material or type.

Text Paragraph 4: "Queen Veredine ... Elf".
Codex 137: `Species` "Elf".
Text: "Veredine the Undying".
Codex 137: `Aliases` "Veredine the Undying".
Text: "Pallid Host".
Codex 149: "The Pallid Host".
Text: "Riven War ... thousand years before the Felling".
Codex 146: `TimePeriod` "A thousand years before the Felling".
Text: "Felling ... two centuries ago".
Codex 109: `TimePeriod` "Two centuries ago".
All match.

What about "Iselda Moth"?
Text Paragraph 2: "Iselda waited near the gate".
Text Paragraph 7: "Iselda was already gone — above them somewhere, a blur of white and translucent wing."
Codex 124: `HairColor` "White", `EyeColor` "Violet".
Does the codex say she has wings? No. Does it say she *doesn't*? No.
However, "translucent wing" implies she is not Human (or at least has wings). The codex doesn't specify her species. Sable is Human (101), Grunn is Dwarf (111), Osrik is Tiefling (136), Veredine is Elf (137). Iselda's species is not listed. So we cannot flag the wings as a contradiction unless the codex explicitly says she is Human or Wingless. It does not.

What about "Brother Hemmen" hair?
Codex 125: `HairColor` "White".
Text Paragraph 2: "Brother Hemmen ... stood with his hands folded inside his sleeves". No mention of hair color.
Text Paragraph 7: No mention of hair.
Okay.

Let's re-read the Hemmen "Eyeless" issue.
If a character is named "the Eyeless", stating they have "ashen eyes" is a direct contradiction of the defining characteristic provided in the codex (the alias).
Violation 1: Entry 125, detail "aliases" (or implied physical state from alias), substring "his ashen eyes".
Actually, the instruction says "use the exact name of the codex element or attribute that is contradicted". The codex entry 125 has `aliases="the Eyeless"`. The text contradicts the semantic meaning of this alias by assigning him eyes. Is there a better attribute? The codex doesn't have an `eyeColor` for Hemmen. It only has `hairColor`.
However, if the alias is "the Eyeless", the factual detail being contradicted is the implication of the alias. But the prompt asks for "exact name of the codex element or attribute". The alias is an attribute. The contradiction is that he has eyes.
Perhaps I should look for something more concrete.
Wait, look at Paragraph 2: "Captain Mettik, a human soldier".
Codex 139: `Name` "Captain Mettik", `Species` "Human".
Codex 114: `Name` "Mettik".
These are likely the same person. No contradiction.

Let's check the items again.
Paragraph 7: "Nightbell ... bronze bell". Codex 145 `Material` "Bronze". Correct.
Paragraph 7: "Verity Beads". Codex 130 `Material` "Bone". Text doesn't specify material, just action.
Paragraph 5: "Harrowglass ... obsidian edge". Codex 143 `Material` "Obsidian". Correct.
Paragraph 8: "Kindling ... dark iron blade". Codex 107 `Material` "Dark iron". Correct.

Is there a location error?
Paragraph 4: "Hatchwell — the town that stood at the mountain's base".
Codex 142 "Hatchwell". No terrain.
Paragraph 1: "Spire of Echoes ... mountain". Codex 140 "Mountain". Correct.

Maybe the violation is simply the eyes on the Eyeless man.
Entry: 125
Detail: aliases (The alias "the Eyeless" contradicts the presence of eyes)
But the prompt says "detail: which specific detail is wrong — use the exact name of the codex element or attribute".
If the codex doesn't have `eyeColor` for Hemmen, can I flag it?
Yes, because the alias *is* the detail in the codex that establishes he has no eyes.
Substring: "his ashen eyes" (appears twice).
Paragraph 2 and 7.

Are there any other contradictions?
Paragraph 2: "Sable ... her jaw set." No codex info on jaw.
Paragraph 2: "Grunn ... dwarf". Codex 111 `Species` "Dwarf". Correct.
Paragraph 2: "Iselda ... pale features". Codex 124 `HairColor` "White". "Pale" is consistent.
Paragraph 5: "Osrik ... Tiefling ... horns ... black hair ... red eyes". Codex 136 matches perfectly.
Paragraph 8: "Sable ... Petal. My sister." Codex 101 Sable Dunmore, 103 Petal Dunmore. Same last name, text clarifies relationship. Not a contradiction.

Wait, check Paragraph 7: "Grunn met the first one with the Warden's Mail blazing and Burden still strapped to his back — then swung the great mace free".
This implies he took Burden off his back.
Codex 118 `Burden` is a weapon.
Codex 144 `Warden's Mail` is armor.
Text says "Warden's Mail blazing". Codex 144 `Power` "Light". Consistent.
Text says "Burden ... great mace". Codex 118 doesn't specify shape, but "Weapon" covers mace.
Text says "Burden ... bone and iron"? No, text doesn't specify material for Burden in the excerpt, just calls it a mace.
Wait, Paragraph 7 text: "Grunn met the first one with the Warden's Mail blazing and Burden still strapped to his back".
It doesn't describe the material of Burden here.

Let's look at Paragraph 4 again.
"The Riven War," he said. "A thousand years before the Felling."
Codex 146: `TimePeriod` "A thousand years before the Felling".
"The Felling broke the world two centuries ago."
Codex 109: `TimePeriod` "Two centuries ago".
Matches.

Is there a violation with "The Hollow"?
Paragraph 7: "What was sealed in The Hollow was one half of a lock."
Codex 126: "The Hollow". No details.

What about "Root-tongue" or "Greenveil"? Not mentioned in text.

Let's reconsider Hemmen.
Codex 125: `aliases="the Eyeless"`.
Text: "his ashen eyes".
This is the only clear contradiction. The alias defines a physical lack (eyes), the text asserts the presence (ashen eyes).
I will formulate the violation based on the `aliases` attribute, as that is the source of the "Eyeless" fact. Or perhaps the violation is that the text contradicts the *implication* of the alias. The prompt asks for "exact name of the codex element or attribute". The attribute is `aliases`.
Alternatively, is there a missing attribute in the codex that should be there? No, I must use what's there.
The codex says he is "the Eyeless". The text says he has eyes.
Violation:
entry="125"
detail="aliases"
paragraph="2"
substring="his ashen eyes"
Explanation: The codex lists his alias as "the Eyeless", implying he has no eyes, but the text describes him having "ashen eyes".

Same for paragraph 7.
entry="125"
detail="aliases"
paragraph="7"
substring="his ashen eyes closed"

Are there any others?
Check "Moth Hall". Codex 128 "Moth Hall". Not in text.
Check "The Thornveil". Codex 115. Not in text.
Check "Kettlebridge". Codex 116. Not in text.
Check "Port Gessik". Codex 117. Not in text.
Check "Fathom Stair". Codex 127. Not in text.

Check species of Osrik.
Text: "Tiefling". Codex: "Tiefling".
Check species of Grunn.
Text: "dwarf". Codex: "Dwarf".
Check species of Veredine.
Text: "elf". Codex: "Elf".
Check species of Hemmen.
Codex: "Human".
Text: "Brother Hemmen". Doesn't explicitly say human, but "man" is used generally?
Paragraph 4: "place a man could hide". Generic.
Paragraph 5: "stillness unnerved people". Generic.
No explicit species claim for Hemmen in text other than implied human by name/title? No contradiction.

Check "Captain Mettik".
Text: "human soldier". Codex 139: "Human". Correct.

Check "Sable".
Text: "Sable Dunmore". Codex 101: "Sable Dunmore".
Text: "Petal. My sister." Codex 103 "Petal Dunmore". Correct.

Check "Torben".
Text: "Torben — Stray". Codex 100: "Torben Reikhart", aliases "Stray".
Text: "green eyes". Codex 100: "Green". Correct.
Text: "Silver hair"?
Paragraph 1: "Torben ... stood at the base". No hair color mentioned.
Paragraph 1: "Frost coated every surface."
Paragraph 6: "Torben stepped forward. His green eyes met Osrik's red ones".
No hair color mentioned for Torben in the text. Codex says "Silver". No contradiction.

Check "Iselda".
Codex 124: "White" hair, "Violet" eyes.
Text: "pale features", "blur of white and translucent wing".
"Pale features" could refer to skin or hair. "Blur of white" likely refers to hair or clothing or wings.
"Violet eyes" not mentioned.
No contradiction.

Check "Grunn".
Codex 111: "Amber" eyes, "Gray" hair.
Text: "His eyes moved, though. They tracked every shadow".
Color not specified.
No contradiction.

Check "Osrik".
Codex 136: "Red" eyes, "Black" hair.
Text: "black hair falling between them, red eyes catching what little light".
Perfect match.

So the only violations are the two instances of Hemmen having eyes.

Wait, is there a violation with "The Sanctum"?
Codex 141 "The Sanctum".
Text: "descended into the Sanctum".
No details contradicted.

Is there a violation with "Nightbell"?
Codex 145: "Bronze".
Text: "bronze bell".
Match.

Is there a violation with "Kindling"?
Codex 107: "Dark iron", "Fire".
Text: "dark iron blade", "fire along its edge".
Match.

Is there a violation with "Harrowglass"?
Codex 143: "Obsidian", "Void", "Hungering Edge".
Text: "obsidian edge", "Void-touched", "Hungering Edge".
Match.

Is there a violation with "Warden's Mail"?
Codex 144: "Silver chain", "Light".
Text: "silver chain that hummed with pale light".
Match.

Is there a violation with "Burden"?
Codex 118: "Bone and iron", "Light".
Text: "great mace".
No material mentioned in text. No power mentioned in text for Burden specifically (though Warden's Mail has light).
Wait, Paragraph 7: "Grunn met the first one with the Warden's Mail blazing and Burden still strapped to his back".
Does "blazing" apply to Burden? No, syntax suggests "Warden's Mail blazing" and "Burden strapped".
Later: "swung the great mace free".
No contradiction.

One final check on Paragraph 4.
"Hatchwell — the town that stood at the mountain's base — burned."
Codex 142: "Hatchwell".
Codex 140: "The Spire of Echoes" (Mountain).
Is Hatchwell supposed to be at the base of the Spire? The codex doesn't say where Hatchwell is. It doesn't contradict.

Conclusion: Only the "Eyeless" contradiction stands.

<violation entry="125" detail="aliases" paragraph="2" substring="his ashen eyes">The codex lists the character's alias as "the Eyeless", implying he has no eyes, but the text describes him having "ashen eyes".</violation>
<violation entry="125" detail="aliases" paragraph="7" substring="his ashen eyes closed">The codex lists the character's alias as "the Eyeless", implying he has no eyes, but the text describes him closing his "ashen eyes".</violation>

Wait, are there two separate violations or one character violation mentioned twice? The prompt says "identify every factual inconsistency". If the same factual error occurs in two places, both are inconsistencies in the text relative to the codex. I should list both.

Double check the "detail" attribute requirement: "use the exact name of the codex element or attribute that is contradicted".
The codex entry 125 has `aliases="the Eyeless"`. The attribute is `aliases`.
The contradiction is that the text ignores the definition provided by this alias.
This seems the most accurate mapping.

One more thing: Paragraph 7 says "Grunn ... swung the great mace free".
Codex 118 `Burden` is a weapon.
Is "mace" a contradiction? No, mace is a type of weapon.
Is "Bone and iron" contradicted? Text doesn't say.
Is "Light" power contradicted? Text doesn't say Burden glows, only Warden's Mail.
So no violation there.

Final verification of the Hemmen eye color.
Codex 125 does NOT have an `eyeColor` attribute.
If I use `detail="aliases"`, it explains that the alias itself is the source of truth being contradicted.
If I try to invent a detail like `eyeCount`, it's not in the codex.
So `aliases` is the correct attribute to cite.

<violation entry="125" detail="aliases" paragraph="2" substring="his ashen eyes">The character is aliased as "the Eyeless" in the codex, which implies an absence of eyes, yet the text describes him having "ashen eyes".</violation>
<violation entry="125" detail="aliases" paragraph="7" substring="his ashen eyes closed">The character is aliased as "the Eyeless" in the codex, which implies an absence of eyes, yet the text describes him closing his "ashen eyes".</violation>

Wait, looking at the codex again.
<character id="125" name="Brother Hemmen" aliases="the Eyeless">
  <species>Human</species>
  <gender>Male</gender>
  <hairColor>White</hairColor>
</character>
There is no `eyeColor`. So the text adding "ashen eyes" is adding information, but is it a *contradiction*?
Yes, because the alias "the Eyeless" is a canonical identifier. To give him eyes is to contradict the identifier "Eyeless". It's like calling a character "Red" and then describing them as blue. The name/alias is a factual claim in the bible.

Are there any other contradictions?
Paragraph 5: "Osrik ... The Pale". Codex 136 alias "the Pale".
Paragraph 5: "Harrowglass ... Hungering Edge". Codex 143 alias "the Hungering Edge".
Paragraph 4: "Veredine the Undying". Codex 137 alias "Veredine the Undying".
Paragraph 1: "Stray". Codex 100 alias "Stray".
Paragraph 2: "Old Tetch". Codex 111 alias "Old Tetch".

Everything else aligns perfectly.

One minor check: "Captain Mettik" vs "Mettik".
Codex 139: "Captain Mettik".
Codex 114: "Mettik".
These are redundant entries or the same person. The text uses "Captain Mettik". This matches 139. No contradiction.

Final decision: Two violations for Hemmen's eyes.

<violation entry="125" detail="aliases" paragraph="2" substring="his ashen eyes">The codex defines the character with the alias "the Eyeless", indicating he has no eyes, but the text states he has "ashen eyes".</violation>
<violation entry="125" detail="aliases" paragraph="7" substring="his ashen eyes closed">The codex defines the character with the alias "the Eyeless", indicating he has no eyes, but the text states he has "ashen eyes" that he closes.</violation>
