Severian's wounds:  lame (leg injury from battle of Orithyia); scar on
chest (Agilus's avern leaf); torn cheek (Agia's brass knucks.)  Hmmmm. 
I think some kind of facial injury for Silk is very likely.

This much traffic is very unusual for the Whorl list.  Perhaps we should
consider folding it into Urth?
