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.

"Severian, as a reformed torturer, is a pagan trying to become more
Christian."

That is an appealing notion, particularly since in the beginning Severian
does not seem to have any control over his specifically Christ-like powers,
such as resurrection, but does have a degree of control over healing, using
the Claw.

 "Did the Cumaean raise Apu-Punchau, or did Severian?"

I don't think anyone ever "raised" Apu-Punchau as Severian resurrected
other characters. My impression was rather that the Cumaean had taken the
group back in time, to the Apu-Punchau period.
