You can not secretly murder anyone who is outside of your own culture. They
are foreigners, not subject to the same rules and laws used to deal with
your own people. So, using Iphara against them is OK.

Iphara = Secret Murder.
Ambush them with fog.

Note that if you use Iphara there is automatically some concealment going
on, not of the deed, but of who did it.
When you get to speculating about such unusual things as raiding in the
Iphara fog (why would anyone want to conceal a raid, after all? Where is
the fame in that?) then you are on your own. It's not the kind of thing I
can answer. It is an unusual circumstance, and precisely the type of
unusual activity that a RPG game might use, have to decide for
themselves,and thereby set a precedent.

Sure they would try to use Iphara against the Orlanthi, and vice versa. No
crime in killing Lunars! Use whatever works!
