=== ''How'' is it a secret that {{spoiler|Ash'waren is really a Dark Elf}}? ===

 

With all of the above does this mean that her true race is in fact an [[Open Secret]] and so she just maintains the balance using her empathy or are the Drow really and truly unaware of her true origins?

* As far as I can tell, the vast majority of drow do not have heavy interaction with the clan leaders, or for that matter, anyone above the grunt work level of their armies and merchants (who collect taxes, do odd jobs, and generally act as a buffer between the clan leadership and the common, clanless, populace). This isn't readily obvious because the story DEALS more with the nobility of the world than with the common folk, but I suspect that it's an open secret amongst the Il'haresses, and she takes that form just to avoid ticking off people who might see her in the street/all the minor clan leaders who have no possible historic roots back to the Moons Age. EG: anyone who DOES know about it, doesn't give a damn, anyone who WOULD give a damn, doesn't know about it, and no one who DOES know about it is about to tell them (because hey, they're only a step up from commoners right?)
