Ric's abuse of the purloined Menelmacari perception filter allowed him unopposed entry into every faction and conspiracy of the era. To this day no-one could explain how he had been accorded so much access with so little scrutiny. Most, when asked, simply said that they had a feeling that nothing was untoward.

—Sarhang H. Jahandar, from the executive summary of the Yemin Zoka investigation into the Congress of Rics phenomenon for the Komiteh Polis of Babkha, date unknown but from textual evidence unlikely to postdate 1589 AN.

Gaps in knowledge

Identifying gaps in the historical knowledge of the Order of the Holy Lakes and Hurmu involves examining areas where information is sparse or unclear based on the provided sources. Here are some potential gaps:

Order of the Holy Lakes

1. Founding and Early History: While the Order of the Holy Lakes was founded in 1502 AN by Harald, Baron of Hurmu, there is limited detailed information about its initial purpose, activities, and how it gained influence over time.
2. Membership and Influence: The criteria for membership and the influence of various members within the Order are not fully detailed. While some prominent members and their roles are mentioned, a comprehensive list of all influential figures and their contributions is lacking
3. Role During Major Conflicts: The specific role and actions of the Order during significant historical events, such as wars or political upheavals in Hurmu, are not thoroughly documented. This includes how the Order navigated these periods and its impact on outcomes.

Hurmu

1. Early History and Formation: The early formation of Hurmu and its transition from a pacifist nation to a protectorate under Menelmacar lacks detailed narrative. The motivations behind these transitions and their impact on Hurmu's identity are not fully explored.
2. Cultural Integration and Influence: The integration of different cultures within Hurmu, especially during periods under foreign influence (e.g., Menelmacar, Cranda), is not extensively covered. Details on how these cultural exchanges shaped modern Hurmu are sparse.
3. Political Evolution: While there is a timeline of political changes, such as becoming part of Arminy or merging with Elwynn, the internal political dynamics, decision-making processes, and public sentiment during these changes are underexplored.
4. Impact of Genocide: The long-term effects of events like the Hurmu genocide (1602-1604) on its society, culture, and politics are not comprehensively detailed. Understanding how these traumatic events shaped modern Hurmu could provide deeper insights into its current state.
5. Restoration Efforts Post-Stormark Collapse: After Stormark's collapse in 1685 AN, efforts to restore Hurmu's sovereignty and stability are mentioned but not elaborated upon in terms of strategies employed and challenges faced.
6. Addressing these gaps would require further research into archival materials, oral histories, and possibly archaeological studies to provide a more comprehensive understanding of both the Order of the Holy Lakes and Hurmu's historical narratives.
