--- Quote from: Serack on January 26, 2015, 03:41:23 PM ---Hmmmm, I just thought of an issue with TTHarry acting in PG. It's a little vague and probably workaroundable but it is a genuine issue that is new.
In PG Slate still holds the Winter Knight mantle. If TTHarry is still the Winter Knight when he is doing his alleged shenanigans in PG, wouldn't the dual mantle presence present its own paradox?
Dangit, now I've got an itch to create an exhaustive topic outlining the possible LC fix perps, and thoroughly hashing the pros and cons of each.

Interesting point. From the events of SK, I dont think the mantle has any sort of "Always Open" connection to the Queens, and the Mantle itself is always described as a specific lump investment of Power, which sounds like a Finite allotment. So, if he didnt directly interact with himself or an active Queen, it shouldnt cause immediate paradox problems. It would lead to a Court imbalance since there would suddenly be twice as much Winter KNight around, but as long has he left quickly and took the extra power with him when he left it wouldnt be around enough to cause lasting issues.
Of course, all that assumes that when you Time Travel you are creating a Time Travel Duplicate. My current Time Travelling Harry theory has it working like 7 Days, where you jump back into your younger body and just bring along your mind, and that Harry's large Memory gaps (the Justin Confrontation, the several hour gap after the battle of Chitzen Itza, etc) are instances where he wasnt in the Driver Seat because a Harry with more seniority was visiting.

@Knnn: Wow, wow, wow...
Where'd you find that line, just for reference?
That throws a lot more balls up in the air than previously. We know from Mab herself in CD that she had no interest in Molly personally till the end of changes. That combined with this really narrows down what Mab was trying to achieve but runs head on into the question of how she knew Maeve would help Harry when he needed it, and what if anything she was planning beyond the simple lure Harry to Arctis Tor.

What passage are you looking at for this bit? I didnt remember that and cant find it in the last conversation Harry and Mab had after the killing. Was it before that somewhere?

I don't think that is exactly true, it was foreshadowed in Grave Peril when Lea said something to Michael about his first born.. No not exactly Mab, but then again the connection is there.

I think Carl is referring to the WoJ I quoted.
@Carl, there's a whole section in the forums detailing all the WoJ we collectively have (many thanks to Serack for compiling most of them and to anyone and everyone who contributes/d). I make a point of going through them about once a year (and to re-listen to old podcasts/interviews to see if there are any others I can add).

The specific WoJ in question is from one of those rare times Jim actually posted on the forums. It's well worth click on his profile and reading everything he posted here.

This particular WoJ is from:

(Actually, I pulled it from Elegast's PG thread http://www.jimbutcheronline.com/bb/index.php/topic,35451.0.html)
