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.

This may sound radical, but is there ANY chance that Inire could be the offspring of Apheta and Severian?

I suppose the story arc of multiple cycles of Severian getting closer to Ymar may throw a wrench in Inire existing before the New Sun is returned, but with bidirectional time flows, does it not stand to wonder?
