Some secrets are extremely valuable, providing whoever had knowledge of them the possibility to use it for their own gain. Similarly, some secrets were extremely dangerous, and merely being aware of them put one at risk.
The secret that the group had just witnessed was far beyond even the latter category, as knowing it did not put them at risk - it practically guaranteed their deaths! Not only was it a secret concerning two current, and one former Sage race, but it directly involved two extremely prominent members of those Sage races, and an unbelievable dark history!
If any of them claimed that the Karmari race was actually enslaved to the Penance race, no one would believe it. It would not even be categorised as a joke. Instead, it would be sacrilege, and get not only them, but anyone associated with them in trouble.
