Gene wolfe thread for the discussion of BoTNS, BoTLS, BoTSS, and the solar cycle in general. Mainly because I need to know if I’m fucking crazy or not, but the Hierogrammates/Heirodules are absolutely fucking lutely just the inhummi, mentioned in Urth of The New Sun as the race that mankind found that was not like us but similar to us, that we slowly moulded to be better so that they would mould us, with whom we would trade off in time back and forth each divine year right? It makes too much sense with the Whorl being launched thousands of years, if not millions of years before Severian’s birth - the inhummi evolve over this time thanks to Silk’s influence and turn into the Heiros of Severian’s time.Fucking Gene Wolfe, man.
>>24701760Sad experience teaches me
>>24701772Short Sun is so sad.
>>24701760>Whorl being launched thousands of yearsThe book has it explicitly stated to be 300 years
>>24701760Actually where the hell did you get Long Sun Whorl launched millions of years ago? Typhon launched it and he is nowhere near that much into the past.
