This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

When Grengarm opened his mouth, Able saw the faces of his victims - I don't 
think that there was any specific person's face in Grengarm's mouth that 
comprises the revelation Able is talking about.

I think that what Able is talking about there is that he had seen Garsecg's 
face in Setr's mouth earlier, and at that moment realized the implications - 
that if there had been a "real" Garsecg at one time, that sea aelf had been 
consumed and displaced by Setr.
