This seems to belie Sev's response to the villager in _Urth_ who, in 
referencing early snowfalls two years in a row, proclaims, "The sky people 
are angry at us."

Severian: ""The sky people--*the Hierodules and Hierarchs*--do not hate us. 
It is only that they are remote from us, and they fear us because of things 
we did before, long ago when our race was young."

Ergo, it seems Typhon had no direct involvement.
