Untitled[edit]

Whst is the source of the statement that this book "The book was designed to stand alone, but became the beginning of a five-book series, each dedicated to a different one of the Quintarian Gods". This doesn't match anything I have seen from Lois M. Bujold, nor does it seem to match the existing books. DES 29 June 2005 22:32 (UTC)

Name of Money[edit]

Anyone know what the coin/money names are used in Chalion?

Allusions/references to actual history and geography[edit]

I found a reliable source for comparing The Curse of Chalion to actual history and geography.^[1] The current source in the article is someone's personal blog post. Amusingly, the book calls out the Wikipedia article: The anonymous Wikipedia entry for The Curse of Chalion gives a fairly exhaustive, if entirely unattributed enumeration of the parallels, indicating the extent to which Bujold's fans have taken her statements and their own investigations to ferret out the many links between Chalion and the historical Spain (bold in quote is mine; the current content in the article is original research. I plan to rewrite that section using this source, replacing the current ref, and removing the "unattributed enumerations". Any objections? Is anyone interested in reviewing the proposed changes here on the talk page before I put it in the article? Schazjmd (talk) 00:58, 2 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds like a good idea. I don't have the Lois McMaster Bujold: Essays on a Modern Master of Science Fiction and Fantasy book so I can't really review changes. GeorgeSonOfJohn (talk) 03:28, 3 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
