This train of thought inspired by recently joining urth.net and re-reading (atleast beginning to) all posts. I'm not tremendously far, so this might have already been proven. I came to my conclusion based upon: Odilo has served for 20 years, Currently (relative to "the cat") 5 years after sev. gains power, Sancha leaving for a 50 year time period, Sancha returning in 3rd year of Odilo's service, and (finally) Appian being Autarch when Sancha left. Please don't quote this without checking math first, I hate responsibility. And Now... I'm doing a report (for school, if you must know) based upon the decline of the environment and society of the Urth universe, that is to say, in TBotNS and UotNS. Anyone who can provide detailed info on this topic (along with chapter numbers, if possible) will earn my undying gratitude and some pocket lint. Thanks all. »LORD EL SABAH NUR« ===== G Willickers aka Gage Kerrigan --- ### Michael Andre-Driussi *09 Mar 2002, 04:06 · follows Gage Kerrigan* > G Willickers wrote: > Appian was (through info provided in "The Cat") > Autarch 62 years before Severian became Autarch.
