A Practical Guide to Evil 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.

Recent findings (audit lane, verbatim)

Eleanor — Amadeus is not 'the Dead King'; he is the Black Knight/Dread Admiral, distinct from the Lich ruler of the Dead Kingdom.

Eleanor — Catherine did not rise through the ranks of the Order of the Silver Eye; she was a Foundling orphan who escaped their custody and never held rank within their hierarchy.

Prince Caelum — Queen Malicia is the ruler of the Empire of Prae, not Callow; Catherine Foundling holds the title of Black Queen of Callow.

Prince Caelum — Malicia was a Princess of Prae before becoming Empress/Queen of Prae; she never held the title of Queen of Callow.

Reclamation of the Capital — Character Name Error: There is no 'Queen Evony' in A Practical Guide to Evil canon; the protagonist who reclaims the capital is Catherine Foundling (the Black Queen).

Reclamation of the Capital — Advisor Identity Error: The key advisor and strategist during this campaign was Amadeus (The Bard), not a character named 'Jared'.

Academy Grand Tournament — Protagonist name is incorrect; the protagonist of A Practical Guide to Evil is Catherine Foundling (later known as Black), not 'Seraphim'.

Academy Grand Tournament — Event title is non-canonical; the events in Book 4 are referred to as the Academy Trials or examinations, not an 'Academy Grand Tournament'.

Siege of the Borderlands — There is no canonical event named 'Siege of the Borderlands'; major conflicts include the Battle of the Golden Fields or the Siege of Prair.

Siege of the Borderlands — Titles such as 'Lady Madam' and 'The Chosen of the Light' are not used for key protagonists; Catherine Foundling is known as the Black Queen, and Amadeus is the Black Knight.

Tournament of Champions — There is no major character named 'Kiera'; the protagonist is Catherine Foundling.

Battle for the Soul of Terra — The event 'Battle for the Soul of Terra' does not exist in canon; the final arcs involve the confrontation with the Dead King and the Tower.

The War of the Gods — 'The War of the Gods' is not a recognized canonical event name; metaphysical restrictions are attributed to ancient pacts or inherent nature.
