Erebus, Abaia, Scylla etc.

Speaking of these major players, as mantis was doing if only en passant, it seems to me that Wolfe has left a distinctly loose thread in their regard. The New Sun, the great flood et al would seem to me to be just dandy for them. True they're lost most of their human allies, but they probably retain a proportional number of survivors. They have much more water to wallow about in. The undines are feeling feisty, as we actually see. It could be said that E, A & S have inherited Ushas. And that their interest in Severian was to that end. And that therefore he is a servant of evil, certainly an enemy of the Commonwealth, willingly or not. Any comment? -alga-
