Inhumi in the Whorl

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.

Well, the inhumi were such masters of disguise that almost nothing they 
did would surprise me.  The Neighbors could easily dream-travel their 
way to the Whorl and aid Quetzel's ascendency. The truth is, I strongly 
suspect that Quetzel's mother fed on Tussah. If I am right about that, 
it means he's not really older than 40. But it is not impossible that he 
fed on someone else not in the story. In which case, all bets are off. 
But if the Neighbors transported inhumi to the Whorl by dream-travel, 
they wouldn't be inhumi on the Whorl so that's out.
