An increasing distrust of Zee-Captains...

I had a consultation with my cartographer recently regarding Glim trading routes. He helped me piece together the partial maps that I had acquired into a rather a set of whole maps of a puzzling nature. But this time he took me aside and told me that everything, everything he had told me since I began consulting with him was an outright fabrication. So that talk of the North being a land of milk and honey, his experience with the half shark half sheep zee-beast and the concept of a Glim-pyre, all false! The true home of the foxes as a mountain of ash and glass, another falsehood spun by this deciver! Not to mention the tales of the Clay Man Pirate-King. Indeed this even throws into doubt the details of the Glim trade, if it were not for my own experiences of Glimfall with the urchins at the very pinnacle of the Flit. I see now why they call him the Salty Fabulist. His latest 'tall tale', as I suppose they all are now, talks of the Masters of the Bazaar not being Masters at all, but Pets of the Bazaar itself! I would doubt every word of it, only the reason he told me that everything else was a lie was to reinforce his message that this, his grandest and tallest of fables was gospel. So now I don't know what to believe. Was everything else false and I should accept this earth shattering revelation of the nature of the Bazaar? Or is this yet another cruel trick of his, as he tries to make me believe more and more outlandish stories? Or should I burn every map he has ever given me on the belief that nothing trustworthy could ever come from the Salty Fabulist? Either way, this Enigma is going to stick with me for some time...
TL/DR? OOC (not that I have an established character per se) Summary?
In pursuit of my economy quest I have the rare success for trading partial maps to puzzling maps. It is a Searing Enigma, and an interesting tidbit of info. See my profile for the echoed statements, under "Truth at last?"
My economy quest is to achieve a rare success in all trades and document the results. I have yet to see rare success for Foxfire Candle Stubs, Abominable Salts, Glim, Lamplighter Beeswax and Uncovered Identities. I saw the text for Mourning Candles but the reward was missing, so that will have to be achieved again. So, only 6 to go!

This Name thing really has it out for you doesn't it? To be there when you find the Name to be some sort of pithy psuedo-spiritual nonsense such as "The Name was inside you all along, just the power of self belief writ into correspondence" would be an overdose of schadenfreude I fear.
(Not that I think that will be the outcome; otherwise why would I be a Name seeker myself? I have far more faith in the Failbetter Writers)
