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.

This is a paradox.  Garvaon sacrifices his knightly honor to benefit Idnn, something not even Able is willing to do.

 His murder of
Gilling, in knightly terms, is a deeply selfish and
dishonorable act -- thus it's interesting that he is
"raised" to Skai.  But then again, Abel himself goes
against the knightly code many times, and is rewarded
for it.
