Are the Mothers immune to iron?

Help me out with the multiple negatives: You're saying they have limits but Lying is not one of them?
--- Quote ---Then again, why would they lie? I'd bet they don't get many visitors in the first place, and really don't have much opportunity. But there really isn't any reason to lie at that point.

Well, arguments could be made (and historically have, I think) that Humans have no actual Need to Lie.
Given that they have limits on what they can and cannot say even if it is 100% True, Im not sure yet how much those two sphere's of the Venn Diagram overlap.

Exactly

I do think the two restrictions spring from a common source, a mandate to respect Mortal Free Will, without having to actually protect Mortals in any specific way.

And not lying to them?

I see the Not Lying to them as the best "Letter of the Law" way to enforce a "Do Not infringe on their Free Will" Mandate, especially when combined with their innate Bargain/Obligation natures. As long as they dont force themselves on a mortal (as opposed to bargaining with them) and they dont objectively Lie, then anything that follows could be laid at the feet of the Mortal in question, no?
