I really hope they fix, that lore breaking mention of the mages guild in the Prologue note.

Mages Guild is a unique organization though its policy or the idea is that nothing is ever set in stone but lorewise the Mage's Guild we know who founded it and we know the year when it was founded and when the first mages guild was created lore is very very very clear on this. We know why it was founded and the The Lore break is the fact the Mages guild gets mentioned in the time period where we know it did not exist because of when the Gray Host was defeated. The Gray Host stuff all happened in the First Era we know the exact year when it was defeated the lore created for them is very clear on this. The Mages guild was founded in the Second Era.The Mention it by Rada to the Thirteenth Exarch is a big blooper that really needs to be corrected.
Taking a look at this page.
https://en.uesp.net/wiki/Lore:Second_Era
2E 230 — The first Mages Guild is formed.
Sickened by the foolishness of his superiors in the Psijic Order, Vanus Galerion founds the new guild in Firsthold.[7]
Then look at this page. https://en.uesp.net/wiki/Lore:First_Era#1E_1029
After the legions of Empress Hestra deposed King Styriche of Verkarth, Styriche fled west with his infamous Gray Host of vampires and werewolves, pillaging along the way. The Gray Host was halted by the Bangkorai Garrison of High Rock, and Hestra's forces killed the survivors. Impressed by the Bangkorai Garrison's actions, Hestra allowed High Rock to be admitted into the Empire.[52] House Dorell of Northpoint and House Montclair are granted a barony.[54][61]

So the mages guild was founded in the Year, 230 of the second era, the game takes place in the year 582 of the second era. Meaning the mages guild was formed 352 years before Eso. The defeat of the Gray Host happened to exact 2452 years before the the Events of Eso.
By doing the math taking the end of the first era minus the year the Gray Host defeat happened. We get exactly 1870 and add on the years of the second era till the point of Eso which is 582. We get 2452 to the exact time. So the mages guild happens 352 years before and the Gray Host 2452 before Eso. The Events of the Prologue mentioned happen Before the Defeat.
So if it has not been fixed then well there is a big huge gap and puts into question everything we know about the Mages Guild.
Lore wise an institution that is a big thing which has mentions of being in existence in the First era. https://en.uesp.net/wiki/Lore:College_of_Winterhold
The College of Winterhold would be a much better theme given this years focus in Skyrim.
