House Absolute

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.

Tim,

It is true that the House Absolute is not in Nessus. So all that is beside the point. But the Asciians control the region north of the equator where Severian tells us everything is backwards: the freezing caps there are in the North (can you imagine?) and the warmer weather is in the South.
