Footnote 1 In the Del Rey edition of the book, S'lel's Tuenth is said to have flamed Larth, which is also what Dragonflight
says happened to Larth.  However, the Corgi edition erroneously states that M'ridin's Spakinth flamed Larth. 
This is a double error, as Spakinth's rider is C'rob, not M'ridin.
Footnote 2 In the Del Rey edition, Idarolan's ship is known as the Wave Eater.  In the Corgi edition, it is known as the Wave Rider.
