No. Remember I started by saying this-

First, keep in mind that the narrative may be meaningless.
Only after saying that did I proceed to break down the narrative on the unlikely assumption that everything in it was true and could be used as evidence.

In a normal village I wouldn't even think about using the narrative as a clue. But this is Fea we're dealing with, and I don't think she ever said anything about her narrative being strictly a narrative. Or did she? If I'm wrong please let me know.

But the fact is, in the game I modded, I made sure and announced that my narrations were not meant to be used as evidence. Fea never made such a statement. And seeing as we are blind with no guide, perhaps the narrative is designed to be our lone source of real information.

Of course if that is true then I fully expect that I have come to the wrong conclusion about it, as I'm certain Fea would use every bit of her substantial writing skills to lead us astray.

It implicates me too, does it not? And maybe SPM and lmp to some extent. So no, my interpretation of the Dark Lady's words was not meant to point at Di specifically.

It wasn't meant to point to anyone specifically. I was just trying my best to glean meaning from the Dark Lady's words.
