Oldest altar

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.

The Wakers were already conditioned to obey the Typhons. Typhon couldn't redirect that conditioning onto something else (same issue as the head-transplant operation). He didn't want their memories of him to help them reconstruct their old memories. He didn't want to stir up too many actual memories. So he created the Nine to distort their memories of him and his family to obey something different--something that only exists on the Whorl, that they would never have encountered on Urth.

....

Typhon couldn't remove the memory of himself and his family (who even to the youngest he had implicated in his terror over his subjects), so he chose not to try. Just as Lemur explained. Instead he distorted the memory.
