wait a minute.

are we conflating the Severian Apu Punchau & The Sleeper God of Ushas  
with the Not Necessarily Severian Conciliator.
I've thought that since he is the Conciliator Come Again that he was  
the Conciliator of the myth. but maybe it existed before Severian I

Severian I (clawless)  gained the phoenix throne, but did he become  
the New Sun? or is all of this Heirodules just trying to renurture him  
so that he has the character to pass the Trial.
I guess I'd assumed that they saw him become the New Sun, but now I'm  
wondering if they just saw the potential.
