The Dresden Files > DF Reference Collection
Unsolved Mysteries Version II
Kacher:
we saw in the series currently, 5 events that either were HUGE or had the potential to HUGE.
The first event i pick is in Death Mask the attempt to restart a world wide plague.
On this event we have a prophecy attached too.
The other 4 events are also massive.
1) Small Favor, direct involvement of the Prince of Darkness or Hell it self to turn Archive into Denarian.
Should there plan succeed a chance in the power balance, Lucio said that Ivy is equal in power to one of courts ladies, Dresden think she is underestimate it.
2) Dead Beat, an attempt to create a new demi god (Dark Hollow).
3) Changes, the death of all the Red Court, this is massive chance in world power and balance and it did come to pass not like the 2 others i mention.
4) the biggest potential of damage that could have happen in my opinion is in Summer Knight, Aurora trying to freaking totally unbalance the courts, first by giving Winter Summer Knight Energy and later trying to give them Summer Lady power.
why there weren't any Prophecies on the subject huge potential for destruction, specially the last one almost threw the world another and possibly forever Ice Age.
so to what extent Prophesies are tools in the DV ?
Something else.
when thinking further on Summer Knight events, it is clear something is still weird there, i will place try to place my thoughts in readable fashion then post.
P.S.
If this isn't the right thread, please move it,
Sorry for any English violation, English isn't my first language.

Another thought, if Power is all that count for the Fea, why winter tried to stop Aurora plans, if she succeeded they would have got massive amounts of energy/power.
Aren't they all power hungry ?

Mother Winter is a Fae. Fae in Butcher's mythos seem to operate as elements of creation (by that I mean reality) itself. They have a place in it. Mother Winter doesn't want to destroy things. At least, not before their ordained time to be destroyed. Hell's forces seem to want to destroy things early. They want to wreck God's plan, as it were. Mother Winter is simply acting according to her plan (God's plan I suppose, since God created everything, but I digress).
The Fish:
Welcome, Kacher!
from the way i understand it, the Mothers are able to see the bigger picture and live in harmony. By giving Harry the unraveling, she made sure that balance was maintained in the mortal world and Fae.
As for your 4 events, none of them actually came through, except the Red Court falling, and while existed in potentia did not result in a large, evil power being made.
And there was a prophecy for Nicodemus' plague, but the KotC only heard half of it.
from what we've seen so far, it seems that prophecies are about much bigger things, as Lash hinted in white Knight.
but I, too, digress
Kacher:
Aurora almost brought Winter and Summer to the brink of war somethign that didn't happen in the last 1k years (Bob is 1k year old and he doesn't aware of it) we can assume base on info in Summer Knight that it might have happened when last ice age start or end, couple of millions of years.
Not to mention Aurora first tried to give Winter the power of Summer Knight and then Summer Lady attempting to ruin the balance totally (something that didn't happen before) and throw the world into for ever Ice age, extinguishing all life probably on Earth , might even end the Summer court and ruin the entire powers balance in DV.
One of the things that keep Titania or Mab in check is each other, no Mab or no Titania mean they will roam freely causing......
A coming of never ending Ice age seems to me pretty heavy :) then some plague heavy as it is
Remember plague can roam as long it is has prey when it eaten all its prey it die , so if it is hitting hard it will vanish even faster after everybody died :) and there will be always survivors at least not human.
read the theories of why Dinosaurs no longer roam the earth, it wasn't the meteor that killed them all or the blast from the impact it was the fact 1k years of total winter is what brought their end (assuming it was a meteor and not a result of Winter winning the war :) )
If DM prophecy didn't exists what would have happen ?
The knights would still gather in Chicago they follow evil regardless if there is prophecy or not.
Dresden would have help them fully from the start, instead been kept out cause of half prophecy and then hunt the full one to find he is totally needed.
So something is off it appear in my opinion.
Another Question maybe we will get a new WoJ, did a war among the Fea courts brought the end to the Dinosaurs (due to 1k years of nuclear winter, dust cover the atmosphere causing no light and warmth reach the surface ? )

Destruction is not evil in itself - If winter didn't unmake the growth of summer there would be no room for new growth. If your body can't "unmake" broccoli it can't then turn it into teeth and bones. Or Chocolate - if your body couldn't destroy the chocolate you ate, then you wouldn't ever have room for more. Only eating chocolate once? Now That's evil
