What you're suggesting makes "possession" of the Table pointless, because as soon as the summer solstice ended, Titania could have moved it to the southern hemisphere. Mab would have been more powerful than her, but she wouldn't have been able to pour the SK's power into Winter, because Summer would be in control down there.

That's not how SK was going down. Aurora needed the War so that the Hill would be contested and she'd be able to reach the Table when/where it was Winter's, and by then Titania and Mab had gone too far down the Obliterate Everything path to simply stall out everything so suddenly.

But that's the thing. You're saying that both Courts possess the Table at the same time. Even though Summer had it in the North, Winter would have it in the South. Which would mean Man could have taken Ronald South with the Table (if she'd actually kidnapped him) and sacrificedhim immediately. No need to wait.

Well sure, that's exactly what the WOJ on the Table RE Hemispheres seems to be saying:

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.

Had things operated how you describe, this would make no sense, and the response would have ended to be something along the lines of "One table, but it only affects the Northern Hemisphere" because it wouldnt ever actually move across the equator.

I interpret that as him saying Mab can borrow the Table when needed, but during the Summer possession, it's still Summer's.

And if your interpretation were right, then Titania and her retinue would have known Mab didn't have the mantle, because if she did, it would have already been sacrificed on the Table in the south. The whole plot of SK wouldn't work.

Not at all, that assertion is assuming that Titania would somehow know the full goals of Aurora's plan while still mis-attributing it to Mab. It's not like Sacrificing the Knight Mantle on the Stone Table was the only possible Goal of stealing it.
