Sev's family tree

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.

There doesn't seem to be a separation between ecclesiastical and civil 
authority in the Commonwealth, so there might be some religious crimes 
that are considered serious enough to warrant tower detention until 
resolved, like Thecla is immediately cuffed and stuffed for espionage. 
Whether she actually did such a thing...?
