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 is a theory that the Other Lords tried to kill Dorcas, putting her 
in a coma at Ouen's birth. An intervention in the opposite direction 
makes sense as part of that theory. But why the Cumaean?

The secret I refer to is the Atrium and Catherine as its refugee. Do you 
think she is dead?
