OK, I have little hope that anyone will believe me when I say this, given what has happened, but I am neither the Cobbler nor a Wolf. Merely an ordinary innocent who has so far got it utterly wrong, and spectacularly so. I was convinced that Legate was a Wolf and, when Volo came up with such seemingly damning evidence against me, having cleared Legate, I could see no other alternative than that they were both evil.
When I saw that Volo really was the Seer, I was mystified. But it is clear to me that Volo misinterpreted the passage that he received me, and I can see how.

This is from
A Conspiracy Unmasked and the conspirator referred to is not in fact a sinister figure at all, but Samwise Gamgee. The clues aren't necessarily going to be straightforward and, if you read it with that in mind, this passage shows me to be what I am - innocent.
So I looked at the passage that Volo received about Aganzir.

Remember, Volo initially interpreted the passage about Aganzir as signifying her to be a baddie. I think that he may have got it right first time round. The suggestion is that there is only a
little corner of her mind that is still her own. This might signify that she is no longer, as she once was, fully human. And, together with her certainty yesterDay that Volo was the one telling the truth, a fact which only a Wolf could have known for sure, this makes me think that she may well be a Wolf who has found herself in the happy (for her) position of being considered a known innocent. I cannot be sure about this, though, as I am unfamiliar with the quote, and the context may be important.
Still, as I said, I have little hope that I will be believed, at least by enough to make a difference. And the Wolves will certainly be looking to capitalise on the consensus against me. However I must warn you that, if you lynch me toDay, the village is doomed.
