Lake of Birds

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.

"Wasn't there something about it being AP himself that moved them in time?"

Yes, there is. Severian tells someone - I think it was Cyriaca - that an
old woman outside of the stone town had told him that Apu-Punchau was a
"vivimancer", some kind of dead necromancer, with power over the living.

"Ha! You're clearly unfamiliar with the view that there are no 'rather's -
every (un)thinkable hypothesis has as much or more weight than the clearly
laid out sequence of events in the text."

I am beginning to sense some irony and cynicism in your comments... No,
probably just imagining it.
