I think the important thing to take away from this thread is that, on Dwilight,
everybody lies to everyone. I'm serious. It's not an exaggeration. I compare it to Game of Thrones a lot, but it's really worse than that. It's not even that Dwilight looks AWFULLY SIMILAR TO WESTEROS put in front of a mirror:
It's because everybody lies to everyone, and they will slit your throat for even marginal gains in power. It's a truism of Dwilight, and not specific to Luria, although it is perhaps in its freebase form down there.
This is part of why there's such a disconnect between what's being observed IC and what's being offered up OOC.
