CD Spoilers: The Case of the Stolen Walking Stick
DragonEyes:
It's also possible that we are underestimating the White council by basing our opinions of them on a young, outcast member of their society.

I think a lot of you are underestimating the potential of mortal wizards. I mean if kemmler can make even a being like Lab shudder at his mention, and the original Merlin can build a cage so powerful bob had no idea what it was (and its frikin sentient, and on a power level even with mab). Then one of them could have stolen Winters walking stick. Besides, its not like they would have broken in and stolen it by brute force. Merlin 1.0 stole the WC a nice little underground fortress on a wager.
Also bare in mind for all Mother Winters power, there are certain rules she has to live by. She is also the furthest queen from the mortal world, and so it may stand to reason she has the least understanding of how mortals think. All things a that could be used against her.
As for her not getting it back in the last 1000 years, I'm sure she's just waiting for the right opertunity. I don't think slate could have taken Eb no reason to think the last 3 or 4 black staffs where push overs either.
What would be real interesting is if Harry where ordered to retrieve it.

Could it be possible for Harry to create a second staff for Mother Winter using the branch from the oldest tree on Demonreach

I think that's /exactly/ what he's going to do. Ley line? Probably not. Soulfire? Possibly.

IMO the lay line seems more like the current blackstaff. Remember in Changes when it was seeping into EB's veins when he was using it?

Sure, but I'm thinking Harry won't want to make Blackstaff 2.0, he'll want to make Whitestaff 1.0.
Symbolically it fits, since we then have an artifact that lets nominally "evil" creatures do overall good without losing "evil" aspect. What better gift for MW?
