The son of the lost empire... or an elaborate hoax?

[Dni_seeker 5]

Danger comes to those who seek.
A good tree grows in the far corner of the cavern.
A branch rots and falls, its withered husk takes root.
A malicious tree grows in the far corner of the cavern.
The son of the lost empire must choose the tree.

I recently had an encounter with a very suspicious man. His name is Tamon and he claims to not only be D'ni, but to have known Atrus. I believe that he is either the son of the lost empire or an imposter sent by the saboteurs. I think "imposter" is more likely. What do you think?

If I had to guess, Someone read the Book of D'ni and decided to pretend to be someone who's likely at minimum 100 years dead already.
