The Ship

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.

Sure.  But they were [if we assume that the woman who brought them had made arrangements to have it done in the event of her execution] thrown into the seas of Urth.  And if indeed they represent the source of the sea-monsters, that is where they grew.  So the sea-monsters would not have flown to Urth, blocking the sun.
