Rudesind/Inire/Lunar Picture

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.

It's a bit of a leap to call him a "time traveller," but not much--the mirrors could be used that way and if Inire's a hierodul then he might be a time traveller in the sense that F, B, and O are--i.e., living backwards (like Merlin) and maybe "skipping" big chunks of time.

MORE PROOF INIRE IS RUDESIND'S MASTER:

"The old Autarch told us you were his sentinel in the House Absolute, and now we know you're a servant of Father Inire's."
"I am," the old man said. "I have that honor, and it's his letter I carry."

.

Is this obviously  still a question, Dan'l? I thought this was accepted as truth. I could have missed something however.
