vanished people = Hieros

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.

FB&O are hierodules and they come from Yesod. They also spend a great 
deal of time in Briah. Inire claims relation to the same hierodules and 
has devices that directly access a hierogrammate on demand, so despite 
his deep cover as a human vizier on Urth, I believe he is also 
reasonably characterized as a Yesodi, and likely a hierarch judging by 
his lifespan.
