PG: combining Neurovore and Knnn.

--- Quote from: Thork on May 05, 2012, 05:24:56 AM ---As to the first, it's the NeverNever. Theoretically the fight at Arctis Tor could've happened a hundred years prior to the start of the series.
I expect we'll find out more in Cold Days.

Time isn't THAT screwy in the NN, even if it happened a year before PG, it would have been cleaned up by then. And the smell of Hellfire would probably be gone in half a day, tops.

Harry actually says specifically otherwise:
--- Quote ---“It must have been weeks,” Thomas said. “It takes that long for bones to get this clean.” “It’s all relative,” I said. “Time can pass at different rates in Faerie. These bones could have fallen a thousand years ago, by the local clock. Or twenty minutes ago.”

Noted, so time isn't even consistent if you stay in the one place in the NN.....

Yeah, especially at Arctis Tor. It's implied (but not proven) that Maeve, working with Lily, altered the timeflow while they were going through, but who knows what it was before they arrived; Mab could've been holding the whole place in stasis relative to Harry's Prime Material Plane for the whole past year. Or the Hellfire attack could've taken place just minutes before he arrived, relative to the real world.
the neurovore of Zur-En-Aargh:

Why would that make a difference ? Glamour-breaking ointment appears to be qualitative rather than quantitative in effect, sfaict.

We have already some exemples of anti-magic: in Summer Knight, in Heorot.

My post quoted at the start of the thread makes the distinction between resistance and immunity, and I hold to that logic; we see resistance from beings old and strong enough to bull through magic, and immunity from Lord R that is specifically identified by Harry as Outsider-backed, and the description of the fetch fits the latter.
