Mystery of Agia

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.

Hethor may be originally from the reign of Severian the Lame, so Sev 
*is* his ultimate master.

Hethor may be a mad Ship-double of sailor Eata, who ran away before his 
elevation to journeyman but after Sev's elevation to master, so Sev is 
his more immediate master.
