Sev's common lineage

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.

If this is true, wouldn't that mean that Vodalus (and the others who 
presumably later share her memories) would have knowledge of the future 
era's general public, like Agia disposing of him in a coup? Wouldn't he 
want to stop that?
