Interpretation

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

"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.
