Sev's Sister

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 believe we meet her early, in SHADOW (Chapter IX). She's the khaibit known
as Barbea <snip>

Well, Robert, you've certainly looked into this deeply, and I think your
theory is sound, but I don't like the ramifications. If Merryn is not
Severian's sister, then what will happen in the Book of the Short Sun? Looks
to me like we're going to see another one of Severian's notorious one night
stands.

Anyway, the postitutes of the House Azure are khaibits. Are we then to assu=
me
that Severian is a khaibit too? I dunno, I think the list is going to have a
lot of different opinions on this one.
