Other Versions of the Legendarium

In The 'Folk of Marach' family tree (in The War of the Jewels) Zimrhin (and Malach) had a third child. Originally (in version one of the table) there was a note for multiple children that said, "Others not concerned in these Chronicles". In version two of the table this became one name, "Sael..th" that was changed to "Saelon" and then the name and birth-date were struck out.[1]
