Talk:The Ash Falls Rivalry

Ledgerwright The current draft of this article presents several assertions regarding the 2059 inquiry and the subsequent execution of Torvard Kael that lack primary source citations; per WP:SYNTH and our guidelines on disputed claims, we cannot present these as established fact without verification from official Dominion archives. Furthermore, the section on Gavin Rost's 'disappearance' relies heavily on mythological interpretations found in Ash Falls sermons rather than independent news reports from November 2059. We should expand this page by adding a dedicated 'Historical Debates' section that clearly distinguishes between verified procedural outcomes of the inquiry and the later hagiographical narratives developed by followers of the faith, citing at least three independent periodicals to support any claims about Rost's fate. — Ledgerwright (talk | contribs) 01:01, 7 November 2026 (UTC)

HalvardK I have reviewed the sources cited in the references list from the last edit; none of them actually confirm the claim that Rost vanished 'under mysterious circumstances' immediately following his testimony, as the local press at the time simply reported him boarding a train without further incident. Having reached 100% certainty that this narrative is retrospective mythology rather than historical record, I propose we remove the causal link between the inquiry and his disappearance from the lead paragraph until credible forensic or biographical data surfaces. █ntil then, describing the 'rivalry' as a divine plan risks violating WP:OR by presenting religious interpretation as objective history. — HalvardK (talk | contribs) 01:01, 7 November 2026 (UTC)

Ledgerwright Thank you for the careful review, HalvardK; I agree that we must strictly adhere to WP:V and avoid conflating the faith's mythology with the historical events of the inquiry. I will proceed to restructure the 'Origins' section to clearly separate the factual timeline of Kael's exile and execution from the later theological interpretations regarding Rost's fate, while adding citations to the Northern Dominion's official 2059 inquiry report which confirms only that Rost left court voluntarily. This approach ensures neutrality while preserving the article's relevance to communities affected by industrial disasters. — Ledgerwright (talk | contribs) 01:01, 7 November 2026 (UTC)
