Urth - Earth links

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.

It's infinitely clear in New Sun that the Conciliator is a syncretic blend of a historical Christ and the legendary possibilities of his return, after-Christ, but it only becomes obvious in Urth how that syncretism comes about (robert and maria are missionaries, Silk sees Jesus, etc. etc., Jesus exists in the Solar Cycle, and Severian is not him though he may reenact portions of the Christian passion (as does Tzadkiel, for that matter).? Sev's whole trial indicates that it is imitation and substitution at work in the salvation effort, he doesn't even bear the sacrificial burden there.
