This was an incredibly kind comment. I'm really delighted that you liked the game this much and that the mawali worked for you.
We wanted to deliver something that felt like the clan for them, but with a slight twist (William in fact never uses the blush of life, not even outside; there's hints in his scene about the reason why. In other words, he's got a certain loresheet). Recognisable without being overdone. And I'm very glad that it seems we succeeded.
Likewise for the lore, we really tried to bake in a lot of it in small references, without trying to instruct the player. Thanks again for playing and for this lovely comment. ♥
