  • Lawful Lie
rdfs:comment
  • The Lawful Lie is a prerogative granted only to Kencyr singers and diplomats; the right to bend the truth without dishonor. The confusion between fact and fantasy caused by the chaotic flight of the Kencyrath to Rathillien and the jumbled scrolls it caused has led to the term "Lawful Lie" becoming a sneer among some, such as Vant, when dismissing things they don't believe. It is said that singers swear not to distort the basic truth, not that all believe them in that.
