Any strong defenders/defenses of LAND ACROSS?

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.

Bells seem to be associated with the Fee and cherubs (p50). Grafton may 
be linked with beings opposed to them, again perhaps werewolves. The 
Master seems to like him.

This actually makes Grafton a bit like Latro, IIRC.
