(urth) Five Severians -- Severian-as-Clone

[entonio at gmail.com]

At the risk of sounding pedestrian, I just don't see why such clones would be stored in such a place (but maybe those aren't coffins? Certainly Sev's mention of liking to sleep inside looks like something that ought to draw attention in a book where so much isn't what it seems).

Don't be afraid to fire away theories! This list has seen all sorts of things with plenty of rhyme but not so much reason, whereas yours have the merit of being derived from the books.
