Dreth is a thief[edit]

Taron Dreth is not the author of this book. Rather, he stole it from the person he dedicated to the book to. I was wondering how to handle this. Seems to me we either ignore it or else have a non-book note for the lore page correcting the authorship. Thoughts? Minor EditsThreatsEvidence 07:07, 2 July 2012 (UTC)

I was under the impression that Dreth compiled the book himself, using Katria's notes. A note should be added regardless. —Legoless 01:00, 12 August 2012 (UTC)
Indeed, but using the definition "an act or instance of using or closely imitating the language and thoughts of another author without authorization and the representation of that author's work as one's own", it's plagiarism. I limited the note to the lore version just to avoid unnecessary spoilers. Might be over-thinking it, though. Minor EditsThreatsEvidence 04:12, 19 September 2012 (GMT)
