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.

That's a terribly confusing phrasing.  Arnthor is not the god _of_ (over) 
Mythgarthr, he's a god of Aelfrice who lives _in_ Mythgarthr.  I think the 
god of Mythgarthr is the Valfather, clearly, though he's just one of many.

Kulilli may be another god of Aelfrice, as James Wynn suggested, although 
it's not clear to me if she is _of_ Aelfrice or Mythgarthr.  I think it'd 
have to be the latter for her to be a god of Aelfrice.
