Fuligin in illustration

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 may be mistaken, but I seem to remember that there was some red embroidery on the cloack? Or was that on only on the mask?

As an aside, in the GURPS rolepleying supplement Severian is actually depicted without a shirt. It's the most faitful illustration I've seen to date Severian.

As ANOTHER aside, I was reading the entry on MATACHIN on LEXICON URTHUS and the book states that it's based on a Spanish sword dance. This is incorrect. It's a Mexican dance with no conection per si to Spain, although it certainly incorporates influences from the history of the spanish conquerors in Mexico, but still saying that it's a spanish dance leads one to wrong conclusions.
