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.

Veil Walkers — The entry describes elements from The Chronicles of Amber (Pattern, Shadow walking, Mount Kolvir, Primal Pattern, purple Griffin, Brand, Corwin, Oberon, Rebma, Tir-na Nog'th, Broken Patterns, Jewel of Judgment, Merlin) as if they belong to Shadows of the Apt,
Veil Walkers — The tagline about the spiderweb curve beneath Mount Kolvir is from The Chronicles of Amber, not Shadows of the Apt.

The Art — The entry claims the Art is 'associated with the Apt' and that the Apt seek 'rigid order', but the Art is associated with the Inapt.
