Who's right?

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.

Rudesind is a reoccurring character, and he is the one telling his stories. There is something connecting Fechin to Inire, and if they are the same person, then it may be to demonstrate Inire also walking the corridors of time. I can't place the quote, but there was something in Rudesind's musings to suggest he was very old indeed.
