I think even different Lunars might see things differently, after all it happened a long time ago in a place that isn't even part of the Empire (Dorastor).

The deceiver has many masks, and no-one knows them all. In truth nobody can be absolutely certain what happend, or which of them was the deciever. Perhaps both were, perhaps neither.
There is no one single view that every game must take. One way to handle it might be to have different factions within the Empire pressuring the players in one direction or the other. Have some Orlanth turn up that want to kill chaos, and some fanatical Ralian spies that are here to recover a lost part of Arkat. Everyone percieves it in the way they are pre-disposed to, the 'Nysalorian Truth' being that we make our own demons and in the end only deceive ourselves (At least, that's what it says in the fortune cookie).
