The Bastards of Erebus notes that Citadel Rivad lies northwest of the city of Wetscrown (page 27) and refers to it as "the order's stronghold outside the city walls", hinting that it's quite near to the city. Page 28 also says that "The heroes only have about an hour to prepare before they must leave along the northwest road". However according to the Player's Guide (map on page 11) Citadel Rivad is actually quite far away from the city - it lies 50 miles away from it, and to the southwest, and not northwest.
The adventure also seems to contradict itself on page 27 saying that "The road to the citadel is an offshoot from the main road that winds off to the southwest", but looking at the map in the Player's Guide, there's only one road to the southwest and it's actually called Rack Road, as it leads directly to the citadel.
So where is Citadel Rivad?

Go with the location in the Player's Guide, I guess. This is a classic example of the left hand (the Companion) not knowing what the right hand (Pathfinder AP) is doing.

Nah, it is clear that the AP refers to documents that contained errors, which have now been corrected by the order of our Beloved Majestrix (and the authors of those documents were, naturally, executed). There are many works of geography and history that include numerous errors and even blasphemous pieces of text, which the good folks of Asmodean faith -- to the benefit of us all -- unselfishly and untiringly toil to correct.
