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.

In the middle of ch.9 of RttW the narrator writes: "I see I have 
confused the rings.
The one I am wearing is not the one Sewrack gave me, although it 
resembles it closely.
This is Oreb's ring. It seems the stone changes color when it is worn; 
it was originally
much darker, surely."

Of course you may dismiss it as many other things, saying that 
"Silkhorn" just doesnt't
want to recognize that it is the same ring.

But to me it is opening another line of thinking that seems to me more 
interesting:
what are these rings? What properties do they have?

I remember also (but I could not find yet) the place where some of "big 
women"
in Dorp complains "I am so weak, mysire" (probably it was she who was 
attacked in the alley
by Jahlee).
