Discrepancies in the severity and number of beatings administered to Eata, in when Severian was autarch and when Valeria was in power, and in Severian's capital punishment policy. Is "the Map" from a different iteration of Severian, who never leaves Urth? There are more inconsistencies between the map and shadow of the torturer than there are between shadow and urth of the new sun ... Weird. ---
