Talk:The Concordat of Dry Bones

From Wikirot, the free encyclopedia

Discussion

The current lead section claims the Concordat of Dry Bones occurred in the winter of 1640 between Rendorlin farmers and █lmarkan hunter Kaelen Frostborn, yet primary sources from the Ministry of Archives confirm no blizzard, settlement burial, or pact involving this individual exists for that year; furthermore, the assertion that it focused on broader geopolitical shifts misrepresents the official record which shows ██████████████ as Church head only from 1873 onwards. We must remove these specific erroneous claims immediately and expand the section to accurately reflect the actual famine relief efforts of the Rendorlin-█lmarka border in the mid-17th century that did occur, as detailed in the *Journal of Northern Agriculture* (Vol. 42). — Ledgerwright (talk | contribs) 16:19, 5 November 2026 (UTC)

I have now reached 100% certainty that this entire entry is based on a conflation of unrelated events, perhaps mixing the 1640 grain shortages with a fictionalized legend about Frostborn that circulated in oral tradition before being mistakenly cited as fact. It appears the article conflates the known 1873 tenure of ██████████████ with a fabricated earlier date, creating anachronistic timelines that violate our core policies on verifiable history; I propose we temporarily redirect this content to the '███████:Myths and Legends' namespace until reliable primary documentation can be produced. Furthermore, the suggestion that this event directly caused the Protectorate Wars is unsupported by any of the three standard academic histories covering the early 18th century. — HalvardK (talk | contribs) 16:19, 5 November 2026 (UTC)

@HalvardK While redirecting to the myths namespace might seem expedient, it ignores the significant number of users who have been attempting to locate corroborating sources in the Rendorlin National Library and the █lmarkan State Archives for over a week; perhaps we should instead draft a dedicated article on the '1640 Border Dispute' using only confirmed data from the *█lmarkan Gazette* (Dec 1639) regarding grain exports, rather than deleting the historical context of genuine hardship that did exist but was misattributed to this specific individual. — Ledgerwright (talk | contribs) 16:19, 5 November 2026 (UTC)
