*spoilers... but come on, its talking about the change in lore. I can't talk about the lore without revealing what it is*
All three Prologues for The Sin War trilogy are extracts from books that Kalan (aka Mendeln) wrote sometime after going off into the jungles at the end of the trilogy. He documented everything, but somehow other historians only got part of the information, not realising the full story of Inarius. Priests of Rathma really like to keep their knowledge to themselves aye, lol. But then again, I doubt anyone believed them, considering so many other people were involved but noone remembers anything. "How convenient" they would think.
This slightly new discovery just made me appreciate The Sin War trilogy so much more though because it has this cool little connection. Some guy is narrating the story, we are told its 'Kalan', but don't take notice of his name, but then at the end we find out that Kalan was actually Mendeln. Its a nice little 'oohh' feeling lol. Though, if the technique (but as a voice) was used in a movie, it would be far too cliche. But as a book its good.
Birthright Prologue:
It was not a war in the sense of men-at-arms - though there were those, too - but rather a trying, a testing and taking, of souls. A war that would forever eradicate the innocence of Sanctuary and those inhabiting it, changing all, even those not aware. A war that was both won... and lost...
From the Books of Kalan
First Tome, Second Leaf
Scales of the Serpent Prologue:
...He could not know this, which was probably for the best…for they, in turn, were not certain if he should be welcomed…or destroyed, just as the angels and demons believed.
From the Books of Kalan
Fifth Tome, First Leaf
The Veiled Prophet Prologue:
...And no one, not even the veiled Prophet or Uldyssian himself yet understood just what the son of Diomedes was gradually becoming...
