Orlanthi are known to use ambush methods of warfare against their foes
(except the Humakti of course!). Would a clan's fyrd use the cover of
Iphara's Fog to attack their enemies?
If the enemy was the Lunar army it might be justified (or not YGMV). Or if
dealing with raiding Broo or other chaotic nasties the murder rage Iphara
imparts may be useful?
What about using Iphara's white blanket when cattle raiding the clan in the
next valley or to catch unawares the clan you are feuding with?
Would the consequences be greater especially on a cattle raid? As instead
of the herders being driven off the raiders would find it difficult NOT to
slay them. So instead of stealing some prize bulls, a very minor crime and
slight against the clan, the raiders have committed an atrocity, butching
the herders and defenders. An infamous act that may bring down the wrath of
not only the attacked clan but other neighbouring clans?
Also would the foes of the Orlanthi use Iphara's fog against them? The
Lunar army would use any resourse and Iphara's effects would counter some of
the Storm magic the Orlanthi would bring to any battle. The Orlanthi would
have to use their magic to rid the battle ground of Iphara's fog, wasting
some of it before the battle itself took place.
