Who was the Auditor in the frame story of Borders of Infinity? Who initiated the audit? I mean, the blurb says Miles unravels a plot on his back, but if ImpSec can't publicly account for enough money to bankroll a merc fleet, that really would raise some legit questions

Text says, somewhere, that the front man for the investigation is Count Henri Vorvolk. I (and Illyan) think he was probably manipulated by some unnamed persons out to get Aral, as usual, through Miles. Possibly opposition in the Council of Counts, but it might more likely have been some men in the Council of Ministers for a change, who also have occasion to clash with Prime Minister Aral, and less access to Miles's backstory than Henri, but with access to Imperial budgets. The financial questions are in fact reasonable, if one cannot be apprised of how unreasonable Miles's deeply classified missions can get.

In Wot5G as the Gods are real but not material, how much are theology/religious beliefs from divine inspiration vs man-made? Could someone create a new theology (aside from Quadrene)? Start a weird sex cult? Claim to be a priest from a distant land with different gods that can intervene directly/cure disease/bestow good fortune,etc (for donations)? Would they eventually get stopped by a real divine/saint/sorcerer/god?
