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.

Revenge for what, for Severian's having not died in the duel which they contrived *apparently* in order to kill him and take his possessions? For Severian's employment as an executioner? Maybe for some deranged person, but very little in Agia points to derangement.)

Yes, exactly. Not that revenge need be rational though, I guess.

Seriously.
I can't grab the quote now, but Aramini just mentioned that he thinks Agia and Hethor appear in UotNS.  Where? As crew of Tzadkiel's ship? Somewhere else?
