Fanon/Literature: Difference between revisions

* Many ''[[Discworld]]'' fans complained when later books established that Vetinari went to the Assassins Guild school, when previous books had established he'd ''invented'' the modern, legal Assassins Guild. They hadn't, although they ''did'' establish he'd ''legalized'' the ''Thieves'' Guild. A continuity problem is that the first Guild master introduced in the series, in fact in the very first book, is the distinctly shabby, low-life and down-at-heel Zlorf Flanellfoot, who leads a band of equally gutter-level killers. This character is totally against the evolving perception of the Assassins' Guild being a college for gentlemen of good family, which reaches its most detailed description in ''[[Discworld/Pyramids|Pyramids]]''. And the events of ''[[Night Watch (Discworld)|Night Watch]]'' occuringoccurring thirty years before the Discworld "present" clash badly with the Flanellfoot-era Guild (which must be in the same timeband): here we see the college for gentlemen killers with an entirely different President, the urbane and well-bred Dr Follett. So... which of two entirely different perceptions of the Guild is "right"?

** It's generally taken for granted that Isabel Kabra nee {{spoiler|Vesper-Hollingsworth}} and Arthur Trent ( {{spoiler|revealed to be a Vesper}}) interacted with each other in their youth, with many fans going so far as to believe they were in a relationship prior to Arthur meeting Hope.
