DRFacts:
Does that spirit he contact to get the rest of the prophecy about him dying have anything interesting?

I'm still only halfway through SK, but that's one of the ones I intend to hit. ATM, I am mostly just going through my e-book bookmarks and highlights.
Quantus:
When Thomas quotes the bible verse regarding the weakness of the Wampires, he says:
--- Quote from: Blood Rites ---"Love is patient. Love is kind. Love always forgives, trusts, supports, and endures. Love never fails. When every star in the heavens grows cold, and when silence lies once more on the face of the deep, three things will endure: faith, hope, and love."
"And the greatest of these is love," I finished. "That's from the Bible."
"First Corinthians, chapter thirteen," Thomas confirmed.
--- End quote ---
I looked around and confirmed (as much as I can) that those bits are not actually in any of the common translations of the Bible, so I think they are more foreshadowing. Which would make the Faith/Hope/Love bit a fairly strong indication of the significance of the Swords, come BAT time.
(Whether it is on the same Bat Channel is still unknown ;))
Quantus:
The Loup Garou Curse:
--- Quote from: Fool Moon Ch 11 ---Chauncy smiled, a rather intimidating expression. "MacFinn is a member of an ancient family line from an island known as Ireland. His family has a notable history. Sometime in the murky past, legend would have it, the man known as Saint Patrick cursed his ancestor to become a ravening beast at every full moon. The curse came with two addenda. First, that it would be hereditary, passing down to someone new each and every generation. And second, that the cursed line of the family would never, ever die out, lasting until the end of days."

It always seemed an odd thing for a Saint to do. And it is somehow guaranteed to last until the Apocalypse. Perhaps that means the presence of a giant nigh-immortal, magic immune wolfen killing machine will somehow be necessary in those Days.
One possibility is that it will be needed to kill Odin, playing the role of Fenrir according to common accounts of the Ragnarok prophesy.

I thought we concluded it was a weird mash-up of Corinthians 13:4-13, the Necronomicon, and Genesis 1:1.
