No, that's fine. But the point is that Jim said that the Oblivion War wouldn't come up in the main story line. And I can't imagine the case where the absence of the Oblivion War would make the story line a stinker.

The oblivion war is there in the background and it influences the decisions of other characters in the book. The part of the world we see is always only the tip of the iceberg. Sometimes it is just nice if Jim reveals something more in a woj. And maybe a few books later Jim suddenly gets an awesome idea and needs the oblivion war for it. I am not going to tell him that he promised not to use it.

A lot actually, when writing a book, especially a series, characters and events sometimes take
on a life of their own in spite of the best written outline or goals of the author. Some of the best ideas just do not work out on paper as planned so a good author learns to be flexible.
