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.

Dujek Onearm — The Bridgeburners did not secure Barghast aid primarily through the revelation that the Barghast gods were imprisoned in Capustan; the Barghast gods were not imprisoned in Capustan.
Dujek Onearm — The 'DID YOU KNOW' section states 'The Bridgeburners secured Barghast aid primarily through the revelation that the Barghast gods were imprisoned in Capustan' — this is a factual error.
Whiskeyjack — Whiskeyjack is never promoted to captain in the Malazan 2nd Army; he remains a sergeant throughout the series, including during the events of Memories of Ice. He is offered a commission but refuses it.
Whiskeyjack — Whiskeyjack is not the commander of the Bridgeburners; he is the sergeant of the Bridgeburners. The commander of the Bridgeburners is initially Captain Ganoes Paran, and later other officers hold command, but Whiskeyjack is never the commander.
Tavore Paran — The claim that the Chain of Dogs saw 'approximately 40,000 civilians and the entire 7th Army lost' is inaccurate; the 7th Army was not entirely lost, and the number of civilians lost is not canonically stated as exactly 40,000.
Tavore Paran — The claim that the 14th Army's campaign 'follows immediately after the events of Deadhouse Gates' is misleading; there is a significant time gap of months.
Coltaine — The events of Deadhouse Gates do not move forward from the conclusion of House of Chains; Deadhouse Gates was published before House of Chains and its narrative is concurrent with or slightly earlier than parts of House of Chains, not a sequel.
Coltaine — Coltaine and the 7th Army were not 'lost' in the sense that a remnant survived and reformed; in canon, Coltaine is killed and the 7th Army is effectively annihilated, with only a few scattered survivors (like the sappers and some Wickans) who do not 'reform' a
Fiddler — The entry states that Whiskeyjack was reduced from Captain to Sergeant after the Siege of Pale, but in canon he was reduced before the events of Gardens of the Moon, not after the Siege of Pale.
Fiddler — The entry states that Tattersail is 'one of the few surviving mages until her death before the novel's final events,' but in canon she dies relatively early in the novel (at the Battle of Pale), not surviving until just before the final events.
The Bridgeburners — High Fist Dujek Onearm lost his left arm, not his right arm.
K'Chain Che'Malle — The Pannion Seer and his sister were trapped by Kilava approximately 300,000 years ago is incorrect; the timeline of the entrapment is not specified as exactly 300,000 years ago in the canon, and the Seer's sister is not named or confirmed as trapped with him
K'Chain Che'Malle — The claim that the Matron's entrapment predates the Seer's entrapment is not clearly established in canon; the Matron was trapped in a rift, but the relative timing of the two entrapments is not definitively stated as one predating the other.
Malazan Empire — The capital of the Malazan Empire is stated as 'Unta (later Malaz City)'. In canon, the capital was initially Malaz City, then moved to Unta under Laseen's reign, not the reverse.
Malazan Empire — The entry states that in the Path to Ascendancy series, 'Dorin is Dancer and Wu is Kellanved'. In canon, Kellanved's original name is not given as 'Wu'; 'Wu' is only a pseudonym, so the phrasing implies a factual inaccuracy if taken literally.
