I've got a silly question...
Everyone that I know who has read TBotNS has come up their own
interpretation of how the characters names are pronounced. Is there a
consensus?
For instance:
Severian- sev'ear'ian / sever'ian / sev'rea'an / sev'rin
Hethor- heh'ther / hea'thoar / heth'oar

Just wonderin.
