[QUOTE="ECMO3, post: 8862861, member: 7030563"] DOD does not just say Destina "believes incorrectly" that female knights are not allowed. The book states that female knights are not allowed. Yes I did and it doesn't actually explain it explicitly. You are left with some things that probably explain why he is alive but it is not explicitly explained and things are both changed and unchanged. I don't know what the changes were or what the main issue preventing publishing was, but I suspect that the plotline that women could not become knights was the chief complaint by WOTC. I suspect this because WOTC stated that the book would never be approved and that no changes could fix it, thereby triggering the lawsuit. I can't think of anything else in the book that would drive them to that conclusion. I mentioned Gully Dwarves above and perhaps that is something WOTC asked them to remove as well, but I am not convinced of that and I think they might have removed that on their own before even writing the first draft. IMO the Gully Dwarf controversy is probably not the irreconcilable flaw in their book that led WOTC to want to shelve the entire project. My belief is the lack of female knights was/is the irreconcilable element. I don't know that by I believe it. Finally even if your theory is correct, I will point out that this admission of women would happen at the END of the War of the Lance and there are no restrictions on female knights in SODQ, when that happens at the BEGINING of the War of the Lance. I am in fact playing a Kender female Knight right now! The quote you mention, and subsequent admission to the knighthood, would have happened AFTER SODQ takes place. So as of right now there are two different WOTC cannons for Knights early in the war - one in SODQ and one in DOD. [/QUOTE]
