Thecla's genealogy folio

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.

This, at least, is explainable as evidence of the use of flyers by the 
exultants other than strictly between their estates and the Autarch's 
demesne. Exultant children could easily have memories of trips to 
anywhere their parents dared take them in the course of their ruling and 
schemeing.
