    Questions about the Silent Ones?

    -What exactly are their goals as of 591 CY?

    -Why are they so eager to censor and burn some types of lore and history, as is the Keoish Crown?

    Because the Neheli harbor a deep dark secret- that of being in cahoots with Vecna back in the day, and should this info ever become public knowldege the Neheli would be subject to public witch hunts by anyone and everyone. They would be ruined. The Malhell were bad enough and they were hunted to extinction(supposedly). Only one boogeyman trumps them, and that is Vecna. The Silent ones have strong Neheli connections(ever heard of Uhas of Neheli?Wink) so they actively seek to remove from existence all such knowledge, in addition to their other goals of collecting old Suel magic items and lore and repressing any Malhel/Vecna related things.

    Ooh, this is nasty. Perhaps it explains better why the Neheli won the battle against the indigenous Flan, given the proud Keoish tradition of military defeat, cowardice and incompetence. It probably also explains some more of the coldness between Keoland and Geoff, and also why some Flan harbor such resentment...granted, the Flan got royally screwed over in most places, save countries like Veluna, Sunndi and Geoff.
