As i understand it, the questionnaire doesn't ask what actually happened
back then. It asks what the clan believes today about what happened back
then. If they say that they joined the EWF it says somethin about how they
view dragons today. Hence, their beliefs about their ancient history
mirror their contemporary attitudes. The questionnaire aims to clarify how
the clan functions today.
