Who Attacked Arctis Tor, and Why
the neurovore of Zur-En-Aargh:
--- Quote from: Eldest Gruff on February 15, 2015, 07:44:17 AM ---Yeah Mab's job is to make Mab's life easier, not Summers.
--- End quote ---
The thing about that is, required to oppose each other or no, Winter and Summer are explicitly shown to work together in CD, and every Faerie-themed book does end up with the results of both of their actions benefiting both courts.
--- Quote --- But do we really think Eldest Fetch was corrupted?
--- End quote ---
Yes. Because a) Harry's magic fades out before touching it, like with Lord Raith's explicitly Outsider-backed protection, rather than just being bulled through like Grum in SK or Ursiel in DM, and b) its nature is different from other fetches, it looks like the Scarecrow rather than a fetch disguised as a Scarecrow under Harry's glamour-penetrating ointment which is off enough for me.
Silkki:
The way I understood PG is that Lea had been infected by Nemesis, but rather than total control it made her go against her nature and due it she rebelled against her queen in order to gain more power for herself. Lea's rebellion then resulted in a huge attack aimed at the very heart of winter. In the end Mab triumphed and captured Lea and found out Lea was strong enough to resist Nemesis with help, so she made a Leacicle Harry finds during PG.
Why attack on AT? Because Lea wanted to take out Mab. And because outsiders want Mab to be removed.
Who attacked AT? Outsiders, Faeries and Mortals under Lea's command and odd bunch of Black Hats crazy enough to attack Mab.

Except that in Changes Lea specifically stated:
--- Quote --- Shame , child, is for those who fail to live up to the ideal of what they believe they should be. She waved her hand. It was shame that drove me to my queen, to beseech her aid.
--- End quote ---
So I think Lea was wrestling with the infection and tried to overcome it unaided but realised that was impossible and went to Mab for aid.

I suspect Lea made things she shouldn't have before Mab froze her in the garden. It's possible she aided assault on AT and realized it was a mistake, and turned herself in afterwards. Who knows.
Look at it like this, if only thing Lea being infected accomplished was infection spreading to Maeve it's almost lame. Lea is much more central figure to winter than Maeve. She is the one in control of forces at the outer gate 50% of the time.

Except I think nemesis attacked to stop Lea from telling Mab about Maeves infection. Protecting that cover is the only reason for attacking arctis tor that makes sense to me.
For some reason Nemesis control of Lea was weakened and Lea ran to Mab, maybe Nemesis can control a limited number of people directly and it got overextended.
Or Lea's sense of self was just very strong, much stronger than Cat Sith.
