That's awesome. I thought something like that might be the case. I'm glad it was, it speaks well of GW. Why don't you guys write her and ask her for copies of her poetry? She migh…

Well, Quetzal could have been on the Whorl since birth and come from Urth (if Jahlee can come back from being buried for years then anything's possible) or he could be the offsprin…

This brings up an important point that bears repeating: Nothing in any of these books can be 100% reliably attributed to Silk. Horn and Nettle wrote the BotLS, there's no guaran…

Ah, it seems true. Simply a poorly thought out sentence. Glad to know GW's human. Don…

Or it could be that there are few functioning windows anymore. Half the time the Whorl is in a state of interrupted power. Whatever the case, I don't think that Tartaros was wron…

If he did, he was wrong. Sometime after his wedding night, while on the airship, Silk saw Kypris again, when she made him that famous offer to become Pas. (EXODUS, 346) So, yes, I …

(followed by relevant support) However, this doesn't preclude it being Ymar's tomb as well. It's a mausoleum which probably holds many bodies. The name Ymar can also mean ox (ho…

Thank you, thank you. I for one am 110% behind you on this. Don…

Yes, I have. It is Ymar's tomb, he's the only other Autarch to fly to Yesod, he was a member of the Guild, and he and Severian are *somehow* the same person, if not a clone then s…

Ok, but Roy didn't say Pas, he said Typhon. Not to be nitpicky but I think that requires clarification, especially with this series. It also keeps Roy from being misquoted later. …

Is this an acknowledgement that Quetzal personally knew Typhon? You realise you're saying that Quetzal came from Urth then, and didn't slip onto the Whorl 30 years prior to the st…

I have to admit that my essay was very by the seat of the pants, and that it was later disclosed that Wolfe had never read King Jesus. However most of the ideas in that work can b…

It's been discounted by most people on the list, but the rationale in a nutshell is the parallels between Sev's life and Ymar's, clues in the Tale of Frog (sorry, my books are on…

Ah, yes. This brings me to something I had nearly forgotten. I'm assuming you're implying that Typhon is Sev's father (which is not a terribly popular opinion here since it's gen…
