The Sorcerer's House Questions (Major Spoilers)

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 just begs the question.  The only record we have of them seeing any of
this is from the letters that Bax has.  These are the very letters that are
being called into doubt, at least the supernatural parts.

Windows into Faerie, werewolves, vampires, visions of the future, astral
projection, triannuluses (triannuli?), houses that grow and rearrange -
these are all harder to swallow than lucking into money.  Not everything he
says is false, just the stuff about Faerie.
