If RW merchants devoutly worshipped a god of Communication and Harmony, don't you think there would be a lot less graft and corruption in business?
Lying violates Communication and theft violates Harmony... IMO. Not that
Communication equates to Truth, but it should support accurate statements.

Please... implying that the godslearners made the game rules is at least
a violation of causality. They did try to determine the true nature of
the world and how everything works, which is the necessary function of
rules and background material, but that level of knowledge is effectively
impossible for a character within the game world, and yet, it is essential
for the person running the game world.
