Who's to say that it isnt like bob? ALIVE and what truly matters is /ownership/. That which owns it has its loyalty, so to speak.


--- Quote from: MijRai on November 28, 2012, 03:06:28 AM ---I wouldn't say it is impossible. Even Intellectus has its gaps, though the wizardly hitman having a staff much like her favorite old walking stick could lead the supernaturally intelligent to figure it out for themselves. And who knows what kind of magic has been laid on the thing? It could naturally preclude information about itself being known elsewhere. People know of the title Blackstaff, know of his abilities... Doesn't mean they know about his beating stick. I would assume he ends most things who see him using it anyways.

Ms Duck:
let me throw out an idea... what happened in the last few hundred years of import?

welll two things:

-the white got ascended to primacy/ started throwing its weight arround

- the human population exploded.

now heres the thought... Atropos/Death/Mother winter has had her power drasticaly curtailed in that time. Is this Jim's explantion for the human population growth?

And yes, I believe Morrigan- the sidhe war goddess- is one of Mab's names. Along with Lovitar, Gerda, Holda, Huldra and Perchta...

Ezakra:
The Blackstaff has so many clues pointing at it that I have to go with it being the walking stick, besides, Eldest Gruff went to Harry's party in Arctis Tor with the stolen walking stick of MW? cannot see that happening.

MW has the power to get it back, surely, so there must be a compelling reason for it to remain where it is.  But we have WOJ that they stole the Blackstaff and the original owner wants it back, so that implies that the White council can keep one of the most powerfull artifacts of Faerie, use it at will, with little or no reprecussions? 

there is at least one other thread about the other names of MW, looks like I have to take my speculation about Annan back, thanks for the update Ms. Duck.

Aakaakaak:
Odin/Santa Claus' staff was pretty snazzy and it could teleport whole groups of people to wherever he wanted. Mother Winter was having problems "getting around". Why does it have to be the Blackstaff?

Random alternate thought...
Could it be possible for Harry to create a second staff for Mother Winter using the branch from the oldest tree on Demonreach and infusing it with a lay line?

loneiron:
As per the blackstaff... the WoJ says that they stole it from someone and they want it back, it never says that that person was the original owner. There is always the possibly that they don't actually know what they have, just that it suits them to keep it, instead of someone who would abuse its abilities.
