I believe I remember MaRo saying that the events of Innistrad are only being recorded from the areas settled by humans.

Pride is a powerful tool; it makes us fight harder when we are weak as does it cut us down while we are at our prime.

I don't believe these are riddles, it just seems to be an ARG story. I bet at the end we get a spoiler, but right now the dumbie emails are just leading to more stories and possibly a card.

I assume that this letter is a hint at Thraben Sentry, just like the other one that seems to hint at the Cloistered Youth card.
I'm guessing your basis for this is the fact that Thraben Sentry transforms, and we know won't be into a werewolf? It could presumably be any of vampire/zombie/geist, though. (I definitely think that card will be a one-way transform, though.)

If this letter is hinting at that card, then it's clear that the Sentry becomes a vampire (he goes to kill a real one, gets bitten and transforms).
Perhaps the title of this tread should be changed to "email flavor riddles: Rircarothma, bengrorot, etc." for clarity? Seems to be a pattern forming. Perhaps with the letters compiled?
So, I'm going to take a stab here and attempt to guess at what happened-
Pitre kills wee little vamp, the town goes nuts about it, he decides that he wants to kill a real one, one that isn't just turned. He decides to leave (assuming) a town in Gavony to kill a vamp in an area of Nephalia (why not Stensia?) called Erdwald. That's on the 11th. Then we find on the 32nd that Pitre's betrothed had beheaded him because she thought he might've been bitten. That's three whole weeks of time. What I'm going to venture to guess is that Jorelda/Lorelei, his betrothed, followed Pitre to Erdwald. Somewhere in that three week span, Pitre (with or without having gotten to Erdwald) was possibly bitten by a vamp either right before or while Jorelda/Lorelei was nearby to witness it. She knew that he could wind up with the blood munchies, so she did the only thing she could to ensure survival and knocked Pitre's head off. Now, we're assuming that the first letter, the one from Jorelda dated 32nd Hunter's Moon, was written right after the act. What if the shock of it took a couple days to wear off so the letter wasn't written right then, what if Jorelda was away from civilization where she could find a pen and paper to write this? These things we should keep in mind for any future letters revealed.
Also, we're assuming that, because we can pull 'cathar' out of rircarothma that this order that Jorelda is beseeching is indeed the cathars. But she also says "I have no reason to remain here in Gavony", in addition to calling this order a humble order. In the history corses I've taken, it's been mentioned that during medieval times, a safe place for a young woman would be in a monastery. Monasteries are classically out of the way from civilization, and could easily be the home of a religious order of women. For a woman that just lost her betrothed, a monastery may suddenly seem a very viable choice for a safe life and a blessed death. I know that Innistrad isn't medieval, but this concept could still easily apply.
On another topic, anyone notice that "Josh Brauer's" default profile picture is the old-styled Sengir vamp? Maybe Innistrad has more ties with Ulgrotha than we know.
Also, anyone pull any more viable word combinations from 'rircarothma' or 'bengrorot'?
"I am confident that if anyone actually
penetrates our facades, even the most
perceptive would still be fundamentally
unprepared for the truth of House Dimir."
has any one tried to use the two words as anigramed parts of a sentence? Maybe the anagram isn't in one word, but all of them.
Here are a couple:
A Embracing Horror Tort
A Embracing Horror Trot
A Cambering Horror Tort
A Cambering Horror Trot
A Camber Rotting Horror
A Combatting Err Horror
A Battering Corm Horror
A Barter Chroming Rotor
A Embracing Horror Tort
A Embracing Horror Trot
A Cambering Horror Tort
A Cambering Horror Trot
A Camber Rotting Horror A Combatting Err Horror
A Battering Corm Horror
A Barter Chroming Rotor
so it looks like we are getting an anargram... now how do we get the other addresses?

If the message "Err at combating horror" is correct, then the one transform dude, the sentry, will be human => Vamp...just a thought
Combating horror sounds to me like they're tying the Alucard/Blade "fight my maker" cliche.
It may be possible, after all, Sorin is not evil per se and the Markov famili comes from Innistrad.

I'm wondering if the flipping through the cards here is actually spelling out a message... Like, the first letter of each card?
Combating horror sounds to me like they're tying the Alucard/Blade "fight my maker" cliche.
It may be possible, after all, Sorin is not evil per se and the Markov famili comes from Innistrad.
I like the whole blade thing though, that would be awesome. And it could be one of the other three families too
Also, this is insanity...
