Nemesis is different

Oh, I certainly agree with that, I meant the only /other/ way than Hammering through the Universe's Border directly.
Though the fact that so much of the Gate Defenses rely on Mortals, both in the general sense of the Fae being uniquely half-mortal and in the specific case of the mortal Gatekeeper as the lynchpin of the defenses, makes me think that the Gates are another example of Delegated/Chained Choices. Technically, the Gates are being defended my the Forces of Mortality; the fact that there's a lot of other fae stuff in the mix does not negate that, especially since (in theory) every incremental evolutionary step of the Fae would have being crafted by a series of Free Will Choices by individual mortals. The fact that those choices led to whole Races of fae being born and then drafted into eternal service doesnt stop it from being entirely built on mortal Choices. Does that make sense?
Rasins:
Yeah, it does. Consequences of what my ancestors decided still effect me today.
I wonder though, if someone was to start a belief and somehow made it flourish, that there was a being that could totally wipe out Outsiders, if that being were to attempt it, the Outsiders would just "invent" another opponent that could withstand this new outsider-bane.
Kind of like the idea that a super-hero has to have a super-villain to fight against. Otherwise there is no need for them, really.

Interesting Idea. I think that there would need to be some preexisitng basis to build on (per the Mothers Power cannot be /Created/ or Destroyed) as opposed to being able to Imagine something with Power that Absolute from nothing.
Rasins:
I don't know ...
Jim is doing a pretty good job of it now.
