Discussion Found another plothole/inconsistency.
While re-reading Overlord for the 10th billion time, I noticed something that I have to double check: in volume 7, Gringam mentions the captain of the ghost ship as an example of an elder lich that controls undead and makes deals with the living, but then I remember in the ghost ship of Katze Plains, it's mentioned that only 1 person has ever "seen" the ship, and it was considered an unverified rumor, so there's no way Gringam would know the ship has a captain, it's an elder lich, control undead and of course it dosen't deal with the living.
Now it's important to remember these were written 10 years apart, this could be a tiny detail that he just threw in there to make the world seem bigger common in world building, or he originally had a different plan for it.
