The second time Carl Farness and Manse Everard confer in 1980, Farness has experienced the death of Jorith in 302 but not yet the death of their son, Dagobert, in 337. Everard refers to his own:
"'...study of this episode, as far as it has gone...'" (p. 391)
That implies that Everard's knowledge of events in the fourth century is about the same as Farness's. However, Farness reflects that Everard:
"...must have read everything I would write." (p. 385)
That would extend all the way to the deaths of Farness's great-grandsons, Hathawulf and Solbern, in 372 and of their enemy, Ermanaric, in 374. Everard should therefore know more than he acknowledges to Farness in 1980?
