Secret of St Zhernau

That is because the Brethren operated openly, fading into the background of dozens, possibly hundreds of other small monastic orders. There was no reason to suspect them. The Brethren are not a secret order, but an open order with a secret to which very few, even amongst the Brethren are privy to.

Hardly fair not to give proper credit (even though it is given secretly for now)to the members of an organization that preserved the true historical treasures of the human race for literally centuries.

Furthermore, I believe Merlin was personally involved in the "great reveal" to all (or most of) the members if the current Charisian "inner circle".

For example, when Merlin appeared in Irys's bedroom, he might have said 'I could say that I am from the company of the angels, and flew here by using the greater fire, but that would be imprecise, though not false. Perhaps I should save Hector's life, using what are angelic tools except I oversimplify, and then explain more."

The Brotherhood of St Zhernau then slowly fades from sight.

The people who knew about it must bite their tongue, but there are few links between it and Merlin.

IMO in that situation, telling her everything was completely necessary.

Now, if Irys knew that Merlin was in Cherayth, then he could "get away" with just claiming that healing Hektor was "just one of his Seijin abilities".

You didn't read his post.

Then you ignored his post, because he accounted for the travel time explanation that you ignored.

If you had read the post, I would have expected you to at least address his explanation rather than ignore it. Your post reads like you didn't even see it.
