In any fictional story, motivations, cause/effect matters, the only reason this can be a non-issue in non-fiction is that sometimes "shit happens"... In fictional writing it's shooting yourself in the foot to not ask these questions... so the writers should be able to answer.

Now the writers should be trying to release indicators of these motivations, so if we have no indication leading us towards a theory the theory is most likely bullshit, so if you cannot ask these questions and find an answer you shouldn't be surprised if someone else calls it BS when they cannot find the answer for you.

The problem is Ark made a definite statement that the White Fang don't know about the Relics. I am all for questioning whether or not they know about it, but when one makes a definitive statement about something one doesn't know and when challenged asks such ridiculous questions it is pompous behavior. Assuming powerful leaders such as Ghira or Khan would not know is foolish. Someone making such assumptions needs to be the one answering those questions, not the one asking them. Literally all I am saying is that we shouldn't assume powerful people in this story do not know about the important things. Unless we assume perfect infosec by all people who we know are aware of the relics, assume there is no other way for anyone to find out about the relics except from being part of these groups, and assume that these characters are not trusted members of either group, we can't reasonably assume theese characters don't know.
