*** {{spoiler|Though one of his first acts as Autarch is to lock up the members of his guild in the oubliette for a while to see how they like it, and then to issue an order banning torture and dissolving the guild. "By our mercy we will grant even the foulest a quick death. Not because we pity them, but because it is intolerable that good men should spend a lifetime dispensing pain."}}
* [[All There in the Manual]] - The rare supplementary books ''Lexicon Urthus'' by Michael Andre-Driussi (which explains some of the more oblique aspects of ''The Book of the New Sun'', as well as the archaic terminology) and ''The Castle of the Otter'' (a collection of essays by Wolfe himself about various aspects of the series).
** Also ''GURPS New Sun,'' the RPG by the author of ''Lexicon Urthus'', which includes a lot of background hints.
* [[Animated Armor]]: Sidero in ''Urth of the New Sun''. He is not happy when Severian wears him.
* [[Artificial Human]]: {{spoiler|Jonas}}. Also, {{spoiler|Dr. Talos}} turns out to be {{spoiler|Baldanders'}} homunculus. {{spoiler|Master Malrubius}} in his post-death appearances is this as well.
