The Mothers' Cottage and Earth...

(1/14) > >>

LordDresden2:
We sometimes see characters speculate about what nastiness might be found in the point in Faerie that corresponds to a given point on Earth.  For ex, Nicodemus warned Harry that he really wouldn't like what lay on the other side from Demonreach.  Usually there is some correspondence, as much symbolic as practice, for ex:  the royal hall of the Erlking lines up with a Bass Pro shop, IIRC.

But we don't see much speculation about the inverse.  For ex, what on Earth matches up to Arctic Tor?

Where would you find yourself if you opened a Gate from the Mothers' Cottage in Faerie to Earth?  (Not that I recommend performing the experiment.)

Well, given their immense power, their balance between abundant life and inescapable death, and their distance from humanity?

Lake Karachay.

ClintACK:
The NeverNever is much bigger than the Earth.

Although you can open a Way from anywhere on the Earth and get to somewhere in the NeverNever, I'm not sure the converse is true.

Example: I doubt that there's anywhere on the Earth from which you could open up a simple Way and find yourself inside the walls of Arctis Tor -- it wouldn't be much of a fortress if you could.

Same with places like the Outer Gates, the Mothers's Cottage, and any number of religious holies-of-holies.

Avernite:
On the other hand, outside Arctis Tor might work.

I'm thinking things like the royal palace in Stockholm, or the Kremlin, as in palaces in cold places. Presumably only palaces that are actually in use would count, though, pure touristy ones would probably redirect to sleeping beauty style castles instead.


As for the Mother's cottage, I think some parts of it could resonate more surprisingly; it's also a sort-of hidden in plain sight place with massive power over life and death, so something like a nuclear command center that few people know about could work (i.e. not NORAD, it's too well known).

Quantus:
The Mother cottage is going to connect to a whole lot of different places, likely all very powerful; at least one of them appears to connect to The Winter Knight's grave.  Consider that the Erlking's Court connected to both a Bass Pro Shop and also the FBI regional HQ.  I would not expect Mother Winter's shadowy corner to connect to the same place as Mother Summer's cupboard or garden or Shelf of Pestilence. 


OR

It's very likely that one cannot open a Way to the Mother's Cottage at all, just like you cannot inside Edinburough, and likely things are restricted within places like Arctis Tor.  If Mab can lock down Ways in ALL of Fairy in CD, and make custom Ways, the Mothers have this capability as well.  At their level of Power, and in their own demense, they might well be able to /dictate/ where the Ways would go, if anywhere.
