	Owing to the influence and proximity of the Ascendant Spirit Mavai, the ~~Morusi~~ are widely characterized as somewhat conspiratorial and secretive. This same inclination to keep secrets and mysteries close also fosters a strong drive to seek out answers and truths wherever possible, a tension that is held to produce conflict both internally, among the ~~Morusi~~ themselves, and externally, in their dealings with others.

None of the Society's members are believed to engage directly in politics, and a clear separation is maintained between the public figureheads and the members of the Society themselves.		The Morusi have a distinctive governing structure. Almost all of Balúrail is controlled by the League of Balúrail, which is in turn controlled by a secret society known as the [[Society of Truth]]. Membership in and induction into the Society are closely guarded secrets, and the Society governs through edicts issued by figureheads placed at all levels of government.

	Owing to the influence and proximity of the Ascendant Spirit Moevre, the Morusi are widely characterized as somewhat conspiratorial and secretive. This same inclination to keep secrets and mysteries close also fosters a strong drive to seek out answers and truths wherever possible, a tension that is held to produce conflict both internally, among the Morusi themselves, and externally, in their dealings with others.
