Inire and House Absolute

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.

He also says there are so many pictures that he's only cleaned them 
three times each or so during his career; fifteen years worth of 
paintings can line miles of underground hallways. And it shouldn't be a 
tremendous distance from the ruler's palace to his spaceport to start with.
