(urth) Agilus and Agia

[aaron]

I suppose.  I guess it's just a feeling that there is something I'm missing
about Agilus that has yet to be explained to my own satisfaction.  For me,
none of the theories presented fit.  Are they possible?  Sure they are.
But they don't feel right.  And the same goes for the character of Father
Inire.  Don't even get me started on that subject.  I even asked Wolfe
about Inire's appearances (or lack of) in TBotNS, and he basically just
said "Maybe he's there, maybe he's not."  Cute, huh?
