The Wizards gaining power one has been answered by select book quotes, the rest, no.

--- Quote from: the neurovore of Zur-En-Aargh on November 15, 2012, 05:46:48 PM ---I have a bunch of questions in the relevant thread, but only one of them got asked, I'd want it to be whether Talos is still alive after the end of SK, because that is one that for some reason irrationally nags at me and seems unlikely to connect to anything that would lead to an "I'm not going to tell you".
I'd also really like to know
1) When was Kemmler's last stand, 1961 as per DB or WWII as per GS ?
2) If Harry had known about Lea's bargain with Maggie, could he have just demanded her help against Justin instead of selling himself for it and:
2b) if the answer to 2) is yes, is Harry ever going to find/figure this out ?
but I suspect that 2) might well get an "I'm not going to tell you", and there have been rumblings that some of the apparent series inconsistencies are part of a larger plan so 1) might as well. Indeed, I can see 2) being resolved in CD.

I asked him that for you a couple of years ago and got a half answer. He said that Maggie didn't have enough time to set the deal up as well as she could have if she'd had more time. So while that's not a direct answer to it, it is close. And I think the gist is no, that she didn't close all the loopholes and for help he didn't really need anyway he had to ask himself.

--- End quote ---
I know this isn't a definitive answer to the question like a WoJ would be, but I think I can answer the "rather convenient" part of the question. Madrigal Raith was basically a member of the White Court nobility. His uncle is King of the White Court. Members of nobility are bound to collect objects like those warded armbands, because they can afford them and they're in a position to come across such things, due to their prominence within the structure of the ruling House. I see it as something like the way wealthy families often collect antiques or expensive works of art; only, in this case, the armbands had practical value in a duel.

House Malvora could have provided them as well. Winning this duel was crucial to them and Madrigal was not really up to the task and needed some help.

I recall Jim saying in one of the audio Q&A's that the senior council members were around Harry's age at the time of the French and Indian War. Some day he may even go back and write about that period.
On evocation I recall Jim saying in an audio interview that Harry is one of the most skilled WC members at evocation, although the senior council members have been doing it for far longer than he has, and have the skill to back it up. The Merlin is the Merlin for very good reason.
As for Chichen Itza, my memory has fogged over from time, but I believe that at some point Jim said something along the lines of it being put to the same use in the time of the Aztecs as it was in Changes, magical rituals involving human sacrifices.
For his exact words, you'd have to dig through the audio interviews.
