The Kingkiller Codexery — Data & Quality

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.

Recent findings (audit lane, verbatim)

Kote — The entry states that Kvothe watched Abenthy use sympathy to create a gust of wind to fend off suspicious townspeople. In the canon, Abenthy used sympathy to create a gust of wind to impress the townspeople and secure the troupe's welcome, not to fend them off

Kote — The entry says Kvothe's specific vow to learn the name of the wind came after his family was killed and he was in Tarbean. In the canon, Kvothe makes this vow immediately after his family is killed, while still in the forest, before he goes to Tarbean.

Faculty of Alchemy — The University is not located in Imre; it is located in Tarbean, with its campus spanning the area between Tarbean and Imre.

Chandrian — The Chandrian are not the primary antagonists in the early life of Kvothe; they are the antagonists who kill his troupe, but the early life of Kvothe also includes other antagonists like the Cthaeh and Ambrose. The statement is overly broad.

Chandrian — The claim that the Chandrian are 'the architects of the destruction of civilization' is an exaggeration not supported by canon; the Chandrian are not said to have destroyed civilization.

Kingkiller Legend — The entry states that Kvothe's 'First Major Appearance' is 'In the songs of the Telling and history books at the University.' This is not a factual statement about real-world canon; Kvothe's first major appearance in the published books is in *The Name of the

Naming — The entry states 'Primary Practitioners=The Chandrian (rumored), Kvothe' but the Chandrian are not confirmed or widely known as Naming practitioners in canon.

Naming — The entry claims 'The practice is so potent and perilous that it is largely shunned by the University's faculty' but in canon, the University does not shun Naming; it is simply not taught openly, and some faculty actively teach it.

Learning Sympathy from Elodin — Elodin is the Master Namer, not an 'Archmage'; 'Archmage' is not a title used in the Kingkiller Chronicle canon.

Learning Sympathy from Elodin — Sympathy is not taught by Elodin; it is taught by Master Hemme and later by Master Kilvin (though Kilvin teaches artificing, not sympathy). Elodin teaches Naming, not Sympathy.

The Duel with Ambrose — The duel does not take place on the bridge between Imre and the University; it occurs in an alley near the University.

The Duel with Ambrose — The duel is not a formal, arranged challenge by Ambrose; Ambrose ambushes Kvothe with thugs, and Kvothe cuts his arm.
