--- Quote from: AcornArmy on July 10, 2012, 08:04:25 PM ----- The Queens are not allowed to kill anyone who isn't a member of their own Court. (SK, Ch. 10)
--- End quote ---
As I understand it, they're not able to kill anyone who's not involved in Faerie business.
--- Quote ----- We've seen fae servants of the Faerie Queens kill and attempt to kill mortals many times.
--- End quote ---
It's only a physical restriction for the queens--for the rest of the Faeries, it's at best a guideline.
--- Quote ----- Aurora was able to try to kill Harry just fine, but was unable to harm Murphy. (SK, Ch. 20-21)
--- End quote ---
See above: Harry was directly involved in Faerie business as Mab's emissary.

Yeah, but these are just guesses. The fact is, we've gotten information that doesn't fit together very well. There have been a lot of guesses made about how things are supposed to work-- I've made a few myself-- but this question is meant to get an official response from Jim someday, in the hope of clearing up the issue for good.
Zohak:
Unless their is clauses that the Fae can act in the best interests.
Or like a mutual defense packet one nation[ the fae, angels, white court,ect] can act in the defense of all it just depends who ever is the first to scene for offensive action.
AcornArmy:
--- Quote from: ImpishMortal on April 13, 2011, 04:28:45 PM ---It would stand to reason that any magical ward (even one with a Hellfire bonus!) would fall under said category and that a Warden could destroy one without harming themselves (unless it was containing something nasty ;)). Otherwise, the swords are completely useless.
--- End quote ---
There's bound to be a limit to the amount of power an enchanted Warden's sword has available to it. Whatever that limit is, it seems almost certain to be much less than the Hellfire-infused lines of fire that made up those two pentagrams. In which case, if Luccio had stabbed it with her sword, it probably would've gone the way of the Denarian who fell into them at the aquarium; that is, poof into instant metallic vapor. Luccio would've pulled back a much shorter sword.
--- Quote from: Orbweaver on May 12, 2011, 02:57:15 AM ---Or maybe Cowl's superiors didn't take well to the fact that Dresden managed to outmaneouver him.
--- End quote ---
As a leader of the Black Council, if someone in your group is about to become a brand new god, do you nominate yourself for the role, or do you hand it off to one of your lackeys, and just pray they continue to follow orders after they've joined the Mount Olympus Mile-High Club?
Myself, I doubt very much that Cowl has any superiors in the hierarchy of The Circle/Black Council. He may be one among many top people, though, ranked equally with several others in the group.
--- Quote from: Magnus on September 05, 2011, 04:16:20 AM ---He talks about HWWB having left a mark on him, after that junkie in Storm Front sees him on the policestation and mentions HWWB.
--- End quote ---
We know there's a mark; we don't know that it looks like HWWB. For one thing, Harry himself had no idea what the thing's name was when he met it, so how would Random Junkie Guy immediately know its name just from seeing an image of it? For that matter, how would he immediately be able to attach the term "wizard" to what he was seeing about Harry?
Thinking about it, I'm having doubts that Junkie Guy was getting all of his information from the Three-Eye drug. Unless it gave some additional, prophetic powers beyond just insight into the nature of what was seen. Or unless the guy had been taking so much of the drug that his mind was no longer tethered properly to his own time and body.
--- Quote from: Reventon on October 13, 2011, 09:16:35 PM ---It was also implied that whatever mantle Ebenezar had in mind for Harry, claiming Deamonreach as santum kind of nixed the idea pretty thoroughly. I'm very curious to learn the full significance of that.

The quote from the book is:
--- Quote from: Turn Coat, Ch. 47 ---Rashid says that warning him about the island would be pointless. He’s a good judge of people, but I’m not so sure he’s right this time. The boy’s got a solid head on his shoulders, generally. And of all the wizards I know, he’s among the three or four I’d be willing to see take up that particular mantle. I trust his judgment.
--- End quote ---
That sounds to me like something on the island is the mantle Ebenezar is talking about. It's a job involving Demonreach, one that has the Merlin ready to shite kine, but which Eb thinks that Harry might be ready for. Or that's how it seems to me, anyway.
AcornArmy:
--- Quote from: Oirthir on March 20, 2012, 05:55:23 PM ---so if Kincaid is a Scion, doesn't that make Harry a Scion as well?
"What's the point of shooting if you're just going to miss?" He smiled, made a mime-gun of his thumb and index finger, and aimed at me. His thumb fell forward and he said, "I'm as human as you are, Dresden. I'll see you later." (Blood Rites)
--- End quote ---
Possible evidence in favor of this idea in the Harry's Possessiveness thread.
