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.

I assumed Nessus was really really big. It's very old, still expanding, and
yet there is a bunch of real estate inside the wall that is rural.

How big in diameter does the Whorl need to be? Fifty miles?

Apparently the Citadel is in the center of Nessus...and Sev leaves it,
spends all day and all night walking, stays at the Inn and meets Dr Talos
and Baldanders, encounters Agia, has a crazy ride in a fiacre, winds up at
the Sanguniary Field, then after executing Agilus and rejoining the troupe,
it seems like the next day they don't have to walk too far to get to the
Wall.

It seems to me he could have crossed a pretty considerable distance in that
time.
