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.

Thorfinn — Ketil's farm is located in Iceland, not Denmark.
Kingdom of England — Sweyn Forkbeard's campaign is placed in the saga's final stretch, but he dies early in the series, around the end of the prologue/beginning of the farm arc.
House of Sigurd — The 'Earl Sigurd's Retinue arc' is not an official or widely recognized arc name in Vinland Saga; the correct name is the Slave Arc/Farmland Saga.
House of Sigurd — The claim that Sigurd's faction 'first appear in the 'Earl Sigurd's Retinue' arc' is misleading because Earl Sigurd and his retinue first appear in the Slave Arc/Farmland Saga, but the arc is not named after them.
Canute the Great — Canute does not unify the crowns of Denmark and England under one rule in the canon of Vinland Saga; he becomes king of both but they remain separate kingdoms.
Aethelred the Unready — Aethelred died in London on 23 April 1016, but Canute's siege of London occurred after his death, not during it.
Thorkell's Axe — Thorkell lost two fingers in a fight with Thorfinn, not with Thors.
Iceland — Thorfinn is captured by Askeladd's band after Thors' death, not by Thorkell and given to Ketil.
Iceland — Thorfinn is brought to Ketil's farm in Iceland after being sold as a slave in Denmark, not directly captured by Thorkell and brought to Ketil's farm.
