that's my main uncertainty - the consequences [IMG] for revealing the
beguilement would be far reaching for HIM, because HE's 'only' adopted
into the family and is likely to face anything up to isolation or even
severance.
I'm not sure if a trickster would take such thoughts into account,
after all he is part of the community as his deity was and his behaviour would weaken
it beyound the usual puns and bad behaviour.
having said that, an Eurmali is expected to do exactly this kind of
things anyway.
