Who Attacked Arctis Tor, and Why

That only applies to sidhe.
ebliss hit the nail on the head IMO. Mab's got major issues to deal with at the gates and just cannot afford to have people stabbing her in the back.

And when Odin is acting as Kringle, he's likely held by Winter Law or something like it. There's a chance that he can't lie as Kringle. It makes sense, really. If the Fae mantles' natures are determined by human faith, then Kringle probably can't outright lie.
Harry can still lie because he's mortal and has free will. I'm not sure that Odin really does.

Oh, I have no doubt that Odin can lie. He's famous for being a trickster and a manipulator. One of his Names is "Oathbreaker".
But Kringle =/= Odin. Kringle is a Fae, and has to obey Fae rules. I also suspect that as Kringle he's vulnerable to Iron, but as Odin he isn't.

I'd forgotten about that tidbit until now. Wonder how Jim's going to play it out in-story? After all, one keeping one's oath is hugely important in Dresden's world.

That strikes me as an assertion that thus far has not one shred of proof.
