Interpretation

The names in the message are misspelt, but they evidently refer to deliveries to the following Camonna Tong hideouts:

• Air Loft = Nevrila Areloth's house, Sadrith Mora
• Bag Rat = gro-Bagrat plantation, Ascadian Isles
• Sat three on = Vadusa Sathryon, Council Club, Balmora
• Fat Leg = Fatleg's Drop Off, Hla Oad
• Nay Dean = Nadene Rotheran's shack, Gnaar Mok

"ILL-MIR" is uncertain but may possibly refer to Ilmiril in Ald'ruhn: he is not a member of any guild, but possesses a key to a non-existent door that is also possessed by Thieves Guild members. It may be that he was originally intended to be part of a quest that was not implemented.
