Are the Mothers immune to iron?

Hmm, yup, looks like you are correct: "The next burst of sparks gleamed off of an iron surface—teeth."
--- Quote from: forumghost on June 14, 2017, 10:58:28 PM ---I like to think that Mother Winter is just so badass/powerful that despite being just as vulnerable to Iron as any other Faerie, she keeps some in her mouth as a statement. "I use my own personal Kryptonite as Dentures, you want some of this?"

Nice ;D

Plus as basically a personification of death; she is also death for the fae as well which iron teeth symbolize nicely.

By Harry Dresden in the first person. Which means they may, or may not, actually be made of element 56 on the periodic table. I don't think Harry had time to do spectroscopy at that particular juncture. :lol:
Quantus:
Well, and Fae do have that sort of hand-wavy pseudo-steel they use for their armor and weapons and such. I dont think they've ever been specifically shown to have made their own modern weapons from the stuff, but there's no reason they couldnt.
Serack:
Quantus has already mentioned it, but IMO the teeth represent different roles she caries, and my theory is that the Iron Teeth roll isn't a farie one.
There is precedent for this kind of thing in WoJ on Vadderung, which Quantus also mentioned.
--- Quote from: WoJ ---Is Kringle Fae?
His mantle, yes, is part of the Winter Court. Which does not necessarily mean that he himself is Fae as much as the fact that his mantle is. While he’s there, he’s got to pay deference to Mab. If Mab gives him a command, he has to obey it.

I believe it's also possible that Mother Winter flat out isn't vulnerable to iron, but at a minimum, she has certain rolls or mantles she inhabits that aren't.
