Stone Table Sacrifice

Because as far as I can tell it's the single most powerful artifact we've yet seen, with the possible exception of the Gates themselves.
But let me back up on one point: Iron. I wasnt taking into consideration the apparently Absolute way that Iron bypasses all Powers of the Fae. If the Table is subject to that (possible, but not guaranteed until we find out why Mother Winter has been seen touching steel) then it's possible that it would bypass whatever Cosmic Cornerstone Protections the Table might possess.

It's the lynch-pin of the entire Summer/Winter structure, which is in turn the lynch-pin of both the natural order of the World and the Defenses of the Outer Gates. One side having a stronger Knight than the other supposedly caused Global Warming. Loosing the Whole thing would likely be a pretty big deal for EVERYONE, not just the courts that could no longer gain power via that sort of sacrifice.

The stone table likely Unites the different courts and factions of the lands of faerie. Part of me wonders if since the fomor are the result of so many different groups, they have something akin to the stone table for themselves. To bind themselves together and pool their powers and energies.
Since it was said the fomor were part faerie, I kinda expected them to end up being sacrificed on the stone table. So if the fomor did hove something uniting their power, could tHat be used to steal it for the stone table?

Interesting. Im pretty sure they are harvesting low-level talents to steal and consolidate their Power into one uber-practitioner, but Id imagined a more individual ritual sort of thing, rather than a big old Artifact of legend.
Either way I doubt it's as integral to their organization, as it is with the Summer/Winter courts, but then the Summer/Winter system was very specifically designed and built by their predecessors. And I still have no idea how the Stone Table related to the Wyldfae.

The Sidhe have the stone table.
The Fomor have the Floating dock.
Obvious, really.

It might not. Whoever created the Courts (presumably Hecate splitting her power, plus unspecified allies) may just have ignored the wyldfae as outside of what they needed.
