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.

Now that is definitely a wicked twist! 

But I still don't understand the focus on Ares. Marcus
acknowledged that besides Ares, Zeus and Hermes are also
not present in the story so far. Although actually I *do*
believe Ares has made an appearance in SoA as Pleistorus.

Furthermore, in "Soldier of the Mist" Latro is more often
associated with Dionysus than Ares.
Is it because Latro is a soldier? Well, he is also a thief
(via his name) and a writer and a lover
and a wizard (creating Draikana).
