The Vacant Throne places the death of Byushi Yojiro in the Month of the Tiger (Ryoshun), but Winter Nights: Sowing the Wind By Nancy Sauer, place it on the first day in the Month of the Rat (Togashi). Since The Vacant Throne is plagued with many mistakes and state that Hoketuhime Winter Court start in the month of the Ox(Fu Leng) in the same section, logic dictate that the writer of The Vacant Throne used the wrong month. |
