While cross-referencing multiple archival indexes from different eras, he discovers locations recorded in mutually exclusive ways, constructed and never commissioned, active and unoccupied, dismantled and preserved, within the same date ranges, each entry verified and copied forward by competent hands.

What Vaelorin uncovers is not a mistake in the Archive, but a system designed to contain truths without allowing them to fully align.
