It's not my extreme attitude mate: anyone that knows a
secret can't unconcentrate. p.108 or thereabouts.
Anyway, isn't part of the fun making characters aware

putting an overly modern monotheistic slant on things
but looking at what Orlanth sets on apostates shows
he's got quite an interest in these things.
