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.

I think we've reached the ATD point. We both think the other person's interpretation doesn't make a lick of sense.

Agreed 8)
It's been a ton of fun though

Let me jump in here.
As I understand it, 90% of the population live in the north.
We know that the Fairy, at least partially, depend on humankind's belief for their existence.
What if, during Northern Hemisphere's Winter, Winter has 9 times the power they have in the South. And the opposite for Summer.
This doesn't mean that weather or seasons are any weaker in the south, because weather and the seasons are global. But the power that either court can bring to bear is greater when they are in power in the north. And that smaller power base in the south keeps them in the game

That's more or less what I was suggesting, with the caveat that both Courts have an equal base power available to them, and the varying level of power is supplied by humanity. With that base power level, the difference in the Courts would never be anywhere near 90%.
Quantus and I agree that the Courts are equal in seasonal power all year long. The difference is, I think they get an additional bonus from humanity that is based on humanity's perception, which makes one Court stronger than the other on a global scale for six months; he thinks they're equal in total power, and the fluctuation occurs only where they happen to be standing at any given time.

Do people really believe in summer less during the wintertime?
