This is speculation as I head out for the day and don’t have time to triple check. I will come back later and add links to cite the speculation and theories I reference.

Ben is an arcanist and leaves the troupe after having dodged some of Arilden’s questions about the chandrian and he even heard a little of his song - enough to know it started with Lanre.

We know the university prevents any and all investigation into the Chandrian.

We know Lorren knew who Arliden was at Kvothe’s first admission - and knew him specifically as a bard

We know Kvothe gets angry with Denna for challenging his view of Lanre and the chandrian as wronguns

We have plenty of speculation that the university and the Amyr/Chandrian are linked

There’s no evidence that the chandrian killed the troupe - only that they were there afterwards

What if Ben reported Arilden and his song/knowledge to the university and thats what got the troupe killed? The Amyr.

Arilden’s song didn’t seem to paint Lanre in the light that Kvothe later comes to see him in.

“Proud Lanre, strong as the spring

Steel of the sword he had at ready hand.

Hear how he fought, fell, and rose again,

To fall again. Under shadow falling then.”

The Chandrian just took the blame cause they were around in the wake.

The Amyr turned up cause The University found out Arilden was going to tell something like the truth about Lanre.
