The First Law Codexery — Data & Quality

We publish our audit record because accuracy claims should be checkable. Every entry on this site runs through an automated fact-audit pipeline (accuracy audit → source-grounded repair → visual QA); this page is generated from that pipeline's own report, not written by hand.

This is a fiction/fan codex: entries describe an in-universe canon. Our audits check canon and internal consistency — external fact-checking does not apply the way it does on real-subject codexes.

Last full accuracy audit: 2026-08-23 · 30 entries checked · 15 flagged · 39 issues confirmed · 15 corrected · 24 still open

Recent findings (audit lane, verbatim)

Jezal dan Luthar — He hires a cutthroat to attack Ardee West herself, not her brother.

Jezal dan Luthar — He first meets Logen Ninefingers during the duel with Fenris the Feared, not during the Contest.

Logen Ninefingers — The formal treaty is called the 'Peace of Adua,' not the 'Peace of the Union.'

Logen Ninefingers — At the end of The Last Argument of Kings, Logen does not fall from a cliff after a fight with Black Dow; he fights Black Dow and wins, then leaves the North, while the cliff fall occurs earlier during his escape from the Shanka.

Bethod the Elder — Bethod's death is not recounted in flashback in *The Last Argument of Kings*; he is killed by Logen Ninefingers in the final chapters of *The Blade Itself*.

Bethod the Elder — The claim that his backstory is 'primarily discussed in *The Blade Itself* and *Before They Are Hanged*' is misleading; his backstory is more directly covered in *The Blade Itself* and later in *The Heroes*.

Ferroul — The entry refers to 'the Empire' in a way that suggests a unified Empire, but the primary imperial power in the series is the Union, not an 'Empire' in the context of the Bastard Brigade; the Bastard Brigade is a group of enforcers in the Union's capital, Adua

The Northmen Clans — The North is located north of the Union's Shield Wall, not south.

The Northmen Clans — The 'Did You Know' section repeats the error: 'The Shield Wall is a Union fortification in the far north; the Northmen live south of it' is incorrect; Northmen live north of the Shield Wall.

The Cemphir States — The entry title refers to 'The Cemphir States,' but the correct canon name is the Gurkish Empire.

The Cemphir States — The 'Did You Know' section states 'Their power is derived strictly from religious zeal and a centralized magical hierarchy, not commerce or mercenaries,' which is a factual overstatement because the Gurkish Empire does employ mercenaries and engage in commerce

The Kingdom of the Isles — The Kingdom of the Isles is not a vassal kingdom under the Union; it is an independent kingdom that has a treaty of alliance with the Union, not a vassal or tributary relationship.

The Kingdom of the Isles — The claim that the Isles' primary export is fish is not supported by canon; the Isles are known for raiding and piracy, but no specific primary export like fish is established in the books.

The Fall of the Old Gods — The Logros are the twelve original apprentices of Bayaz, not Juvens.

The Fall of the Old Gods — The First Law is 'It is forbidden to touch the Other Side from this side', established by Euz, not a rule forbidding magic to kill humans set by Juvens.
