Hello, I'm a Newb

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.

Good heavens, explaining the plot isn't _that_ difficult.

"A young man is exiled from the Torturer's Guild for the crime of
mercy. He meets many interesting people, has a variety of adventures,
and ultimately becomes the ruler of his nation." The rest is details.
