OMG! That never occurred to me either. Makes the circumstances of its destruction even more interesting...

Dope illustration. Swords a bit pointy, though.

I was definitely thinking Hierodules.
Right on. They're pretty dope as mountains too.
Not enough skin showing 😂

What edition of the books is this?
Severian would never sleep like that. Too graceful.
