That's the problem with discussions about (fantasy) games and their lore.

Sure, history is written by the victors. And only by those who are able to write^^

But the truth is just what Beth confirms outside the game, and even that can and most probably will eventually be overruled in the next installment. Or the one after that.

Gathering all available info is a noble goal, and it fuels philosophical debates pretty good. But there's not enough hard fact to actually fight over stuff like that. Just because some guard ingame says something doesn't mean it's a fact. Neither does some ingame book written by some obscure scholar (read Beth employee). Or a book by a famous scholar (read Beth employee). As mentioned before, it's not even fact if we did it ourselves, because ingame lore is not tied to that.
