a strange kind of mortality, perhaps.
look at the Arkat story (as we know it) as defining something, for the
Westerners and Orlanthi, what it is to be a Malkioni or Orlanthi, by showing
what NOT to do.
I think the devil is in the details here.
Yes, and what we do have is a primarily Orlanthi version here, constructed in part on the Seshnegi events.

Not necessarily from his POV, or many of his people; but yes, so, from many of the hoi polloi.

and "posed" is an interestign word, loaded with connotations. I might say, "took the shape of."
