User:SOTO/Forum Archive/Inclusion debates/@comment-28349479-20161216221639/@comment-27280472-20161216223937 I think it’s important to note that it is absolutely impossible to use The Book of the War as evidence that the FP series is set in a different universe. It is a completely unreliable narrator written from an in-universe perspective, and potentially propaganda. Many of the things it says are qualified as uncertain, it talks about Umbaste’s suicide when the reader knows there’s more to it than that, it completely fails to mention Of the City of the Saved... (the in-universe authors of the book couldn’t be aware of it), and the already unreliable text is rewritten as you read it by the Shift. There's precedent with All-Consuming Fire, which is largely an semi-reliable in-universe source but is integrated into the wiki anyway, as much as it can be.
