The Mothers' Cottage and Earth...
Rasins:
You know, the 45th Parallel makes sense, but where ....
If you'll note ... Yellowstone is on the 45 Parallel. It's kind of ... turbulent. It would make sense to have a way there to the cottage.

That could be one. Imagine having to open a way in between ejections from Old Faithful to come out in a small pond out behind the cottage.

If their power was constant due to hemispheric equality, then the entire premise of Aurora's plan is false. The entire plot of SK, with the Table passing from Court to Court, is pointless.

Im a little stuck too. It doesnt seem that complicated to me, but it still seems like you are confusing the difference between the Court and the larger Seasonal force. I wish I had a whiteboard, I feel like a few venn diagrams could clear this up.
--- Quote ---As for the Gates, those are manned by personnel, not by power. What's more, there were goblins fighting (whom aren't members of Winter, even if they fight for them sometimes) and Summer Fae serving alongside Winter's troops. It's a team effort, one that doesn't seem dependent on any fluctuating power levels between the Courts.

That's a whole separate thing for us to disagree on, lets hold off on that for now :)

Now THAT is a diplomatic response.

Okay, forget everything I've proposed and go solely on what Aurora says in SK.
--- Quote ---“In two days’ time, Midsummer will be upon us. The height of Summer’s strength.”
--- End quote ---
When you read this, what are you interpreting "Summer" as? I'm interpreting it as the Court.
--- Quote ---"If we are to have any chance of victory, we must
strike while at the peak of our strength."
--- End quote ---
When I read this, I interpret it again as Aurora saying the Summer Court is at peak strength. Which implies their strength, their power, ebbs and wanes with the seasons.
