A sort of follow-up to this question:
http://bg.battletech.com/forums/index.php/topic,19337.0.htmlAccording to
ER:2750, Maylin Lorix was born in 2701, she and Kalvar Lorix met Colonel Hiritza Hikaru in 2721, and Kalvar died from a stroke in 2722 (
ER:2750, p.68-69). All those dates are inconsistent with almost all the prior sources:
- Kalvar Lorix lived much earlier, as he had written the Lorix Creed in 2505 (
HB:HL, p.24) during Hendrik Liao's reign (
HB:HL, p.19), which would make more than 200 years old by the time his daughter was born and 222+ years old by the time of his death.
- Hiritza Hikaru lived much later, as he was on active duty during the later years of the Second Succession War and he died in 2865 (
FM:CC, p.57), 144 years after his alleged meeting with the Lorixes.
- the confusion comes from the old
House Liao sourcebook, which does state that the Lorix Order was founded by Kalvar in 2672 (p.65) and at the same time establishes that he lived during Hendrik's reign and came up with the Lorix Creed in 2505 (p.35-36). That could be easily dismissed as one of the numerous 'peculiarities' the early FASA sourcebooks are famous for... if not for the fact that it once again turns up as a founding year of the Lorix Order in a more recent
HB:HL on page 123.
It seems that the author of Maylin Lorix write-up in
ER:2750 based it on that last bit, but had overlooked the inconsistency within the
Handbook (and the old Sourcebook, for that matter).
I would post this to Errata, but with so much confusion it's really unclear what exactly has to be corrected. Can someone shed some light on the situation?
