I thought of the Ymar story right after posting the message - one 
of those nice little flashes which can fool you into thinking that 
what you've said actually makes sense :)

Triskele *looked* dead but Sev doesn't say that he actually was 
dead. He doesn't seem to have any of the vagueness resurrected 
humans seem to experience. 

On a different note, I think Sev's little episodes where he thinks 
he might be insane could point to key Sev1/Sev2 divergences. 
Something to look out for on my next trawl through NS ...
