There is also a line in Assassin's Apprentice where Chalced is referred to as the "southernmost Duchy", which just shows that sometimes errors get passed by everyone in the push to finish the book on time.
There are a couple things like that. For example, Fitz's age changes from the Farseer Trilogy to the Tawny Man trilogy. Fitz is 14 going on 15 when he goes to the Mountain Kingdom to get Kettricken to be Verity's bride. The events of the Royal Assassin happen when he is 15 going on 16. The events of the Assassin's Quest happen when he is 16-17.
Yet in the Fool's Errand, Fitz says that 15 years has gone by from the events of the Assassin's Quest, but it places his age at 35. This means that Robin Hobb is saying that Fitz was 20 by the end of the Assassin's Quest, but the math doesn't work to make that so. There are a couple things like that that I have noticed. Things just missed by editors.
