The Mothers' Cottage and Earth...

But I also think there's a certain level of precaution that the Mothers must take as well. If it's easy to get to them, then it's easy to attack them. And as powerful as they are, there must be a consequence for them taking up arms. They're the nukes of the Sidhe; you don't set them off without consequence.
So, it'd be better for everyone if it's just a little harder to get to them.

Well Mab can't just poof into my house and hurt me but if I slapped (or tried) to slap her she could unleash.
Remember Jim describing if people tried to attack Mab? They would be riding towards her and be like "Wasn't there 5 of us?". The Mothers don't need to nuke. It's like a person being attacked by a snail... It could hit you with everything it had, do nothing, and you just step on it.
They might not even need to respond to your attack. I could see someone attacking Mother Winter and then just turning to ash, and her looking around as if she felt a fly land on her shoulder.

Im pretty sure that is not the case. The Fae Courts have less absolute Power in the southern hemisphere since there roots are in the North, but the Power is still there, and the Table.

Oh and changing over of the stone table from winter-summer/summer-winter , well there are two hemispheres, are there two tables?
One table, but it goes where it is called.

I was talking with a friend about the faerie courts, and since we live in Australia, we were both wondering what the explanation is for the seasons being reversed in the southern hemisphere. Does Titania take a vacation down south for Christmas? Or is there a seperate pair of courts for the south?
Oh, no, they'll just rotate interests. Mab has more power in the southern winter, Titania in the southern summer. Though, as fundamentally northern-hemisphere, basically Western European beings, they don't have the kind of absolute reign there that they enjoy in other parts of the world, and their relationships there consist more of strong alliances and consensus influence among a much larger population of Wyld fae.

I agree that the table is wherever it needs to be. But as to the rest, their association with the southern seasons has to come from somewhere. I think this is where the "worship" of the seasons comes into play. And with only 10% of the world's population living below the equator, it makes sense that there's less power available to them originating from that hemisphere.
Either way, the balance point between the seasons would make more sense as the northern 45 parallel.
