(urth) Severian of Gabala

[Ab de Vos]

Hi Keith,

Probably you will make a lot of errors as everybody does who tries to 
make sense of Wolfes books. They have an impenetrable character almost 
esoteric so don't worry about it.

There is not much to connect between the two Severians except the name.
