Aein:
What about the accepted theory that the Erlking was responsible somehow for the hexenwulfen belts? I haven't been able to find that post anywhere.

dpara:
I would suggest Harrys medical records as a topic.

As far as I can remember he had a bullet in his hip, a morning star in his leg, a melted hand and a lot more I probably forgot^^.

Never even heard of that one.

Not what this thread is looking for; it's more along the lines of topics that 1) have already been discussed and 2) have developed or expressed interesting theories. So if you had a particular thread in mind that did the above, you can post a link to it here.

When is something considered an "accepted theory"? Myself, I've always thought the idea of the Erlking being responsible for the belts was a WAG with little or nothing to support it. To be a reference item, shouldn't a theory have some kind of structure of related facts in the books supporting the idea?

I'm not trying to start up a debate here about the belts and the Erlking, I'm just saying that the only supporting clue in favor of that theory is the fact that the Erlking is a hunter, and the belts turned people into insane werewolves. Given the fact that practically every major supernatural being is a predator of some kind, that's not a very strong connection.

However, I see the point in having a "resource" topic dedicated to the theory that people can point to when the topic comes up in convo.  If someone generates a topic titled "The evidince for why the Erlking made the hexenwolfen belts" or pointed me to one that serves that purpose, I'd probably port it over here (immediately if it's an old topic, otherwise allow for any initial discussion in the regular section first)

Edit:  I might go with this one
