Where the show and the books disagree
The atlas keeps both canons apart and never merges them. Comparing the two catalogues field by field yields 86 contradictions between what the «A Song of Ice and Fire» novels tell and what HBO's shows put on screen: years that do not match, characters who die on screen and are alive on the page, and battles that end differently.
This page computes itself from the catalogue. Nothing here is a hand-written list: every row below comes from the same datum that the entity’s own entry serves, so the two cannot say different things.
Events the two sources date differently
31 events carry two dates. In House of the Dragon, what the books date between 129 and 130 AC the show packs into 132 AC. In Game of Thrones, what the books date between 299 and 300 AC the show spreads across 298 to 303 AC. Passing mentions and flashbacks do not count: in those scenes the show is not dating the event, only the moment someone remembers it. The atlas publishes both dates and says which is which.
People whose fate changes with the source
49 people die in the show and are not dead in the published books, or the other way round. This is the contradiction that matters most when answering a direct question: «when does X die?» has two true answers, and picking one is being wrong half the time.
