All Hyperboreans are either Sororeans, who always speak truthfully; Nororeans, who always speak falsely; Midroreans, who make statements that are alternately true and false, but in which order is unknown; or those few Outliers who do not abide by the land's traditions.
How truthful an Outlier's statements are is unknown, except that they are not the same as those those who are Sororeans, Nororeans, or Midroreans. As to the five heroes, one of them, and only one, is an Outlier.
