This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

great stuff, and I especially was always puzzled by the zen like koan where Ymar gets up and follows the dog (remember, he sits under a tree, and all manner of men and women come by, but he only moves to follow the dog) -but this idea makes it very, very important and masterfully relevant.  otherwise, it is inscrutable.  Sev1's bond with Triskele ... yet would Sev1 have the power to return Triskele from the dead, as Sev 2 did - ie - "he was the smallest of those dead", to paraphrase?

LS/SS was surely more confusing than it had to be, peaking at 
something not far off maximal confusion in RTTW. 
Turn now to SilkHorn's Urth visit at the end of RTTW. As I wrote a 
while ago, the timing is not consistent with NS. In RTTW, Sev has 
Triskele on both the occasions SilkHorn meets him, and those 
occasions are surely more than a week apart. Also, the RTTW Sev 
seems more attached to Triskele - his rather odd insistence that 
SilkHorn see the dog, the nest he's made for him. I think this 
isn't a slip by Wolfe. The RTTW Sev has kept Triskele for longer, 
and cared more for him.

I think, in fact, that the RTTW Sev is Sev1. SilkHorn's visit is 
the event which causes him to leave the guild with Triskele and 
presumably follow the armies north. No New Sun, no encounter with 
Juturna in Gyoll, no meeting with Vodalus, no Triskele nightmare 
....
