thanks again for that Dave.

this one strikes me as odd:
12. Who was Blood's father? -- Patera Pike. [DRL: This was a complete surprise all round, by the way.]
I thought that was pretty clear in the book, much more clear than Silk being an engineered embryo.

but I'd like to point out #15 to all the people here who contest the idea that Severian is an instantiation of Christ.

15. Is the Outsider a form of Severian? -- No. Severian is a form of the Outsider.
