The Apu-Punchau Eclipse

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.

I hope I'm not going to put my foot in my mouth here . . . but if I'm
thinking of the correct scene, my understanding has been that Severian
himself causes the eclipse - since he is, in his own body and person,
the new sun, his own body is what causes the shadow to fall, since he is
standing between the sun and the natives.  That's why they bow down to
him.
