Terminus Est

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.

That's the cover of Shadow and Claw, with a pretty good picture.  TE  
is actually a copy of a common medieval executioner's sword, like this  
one:

Except of course it has the mercury channel, which I ran by some  
swordsmith friends of mine who told me that it wouldn't be possible to  
actually make a mercury channel and fill it with mercury and have the  
sword retain enough strength.  The spine of the sword is actually what  
gives it its strength.
