Who built it? When? Why? Why were\nthere five coffins in it, two open and empty on the floor, three intact on\nthe shelf?>\n\nmantis has addressed this previously and perhaps he'll reprise it or tell\nyou where you can find it in the archives.\n\nMy own theory on the two empty coffins is that they've been rifled by\nHildegrin the Badger. He tells us in CLAW that he's a done a favor or three\nfor the Cumaean and since graverobbing is his specialty he seems a likely\ncandidate. As for where the bodies wind up, let me recall for you the scene\nin URTH where Severian at the Chowder Pot is rescued by a number of people\nfrom Zama: \"Certainly more guests came to our aid when Zama broke down our\ndoor than there was any reason to expect, and I would like to think that\none or even several of them were myself. Indeed it sometimes seems to me\nthat I caught a glimpse of my own face in the candlelight that night.\" As\nfor how these \"alternate\" Sev's wind up back in the time of Typhon, let\nalone revivified, I'll leave that a mystery for now, but a clue can be\nfound in \"Ceryx.\"\n\nRobert Borski"
