1. Severian the executioner - edgy edgy image of him standing at the gallows with the Terminus Est in a black mask and cloak is so good
2. metatextuality, in MY fantasy novel??
3. I can't wait for the play in Claw

on reread:
1. the terminus est is specifically described as having "perpendicular crossguards" because... it is a cross because severian is a christ-like symbol, I don't know how I missed that. he's carrying a cross around on his shoulder the entire series. nice.
2. Hints at his fate in sword&citadel w the thecla passage
