The Dresden Files > DF Spoilers

Mab's Plans

(1/4) > >>

MacPhoenix:
 OK, so I recently went back and reread skin game. We all know that Mab has an important job in the universe, and  Harry and Molly are helping out cause they know and don't have many choices. What we don't know is if Harry and Molly are ever going to get away from Mabs control I.E... the influence of the mantles. So, what I would like to hear from Dresden fandom is if leaving the mantles is even an option, has Jim said anything to elude their eventual escape, and if Harry/Molly ever win free of Winter what then?

Griffyn612:
I think there was a mention of Tam Lin in the books as a previous Knight.  The lore around Tam Lin suggests there's a way out.  No details on just how safe he was afterwards, though.  Women scorned and all that.

Rasins:
I don't see anything that is likely to get Molly out of her connection to Winter, unless she somehow becomes Mother Winter and gives it up.

I expect Harry to lose the WK mantle just when it would be absolutely the worst time for it.

matrim55:
At the end of Cold Days, the conversation between Harry and Kringle led me to believe there is a way to shed a mantel other than the stone table. "It was Halloween, Dresden. You put on a mask for a time. That's all."  He looked directly at me and said, "Many, many mantels are worn--or discarded--on Halloween night, wizard." "You mean masks?" I asked, frowning. "Masks, mantels," Kringle said. "What's the difference?" He winked at me.

Also, Jim has said the Faerie courts only follow the letter of the law.  Being how my brother and his wife are both attorneys, there is a loophole in pretty much every law and if anyone could find it Dresden can.

Lastly, in Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time, Aes Sedia weren't able to lie.  However, they could still speak untruths if they; witnessed an event wrong, believed the statement to be true, and ect.  As we have learned many times in this series knowledge is power.  Being able to discard a mantle is probably one of the closest guarded secrets.   

jonas:
Stark choice, that's the loophole. Molly had been hanging out with Lea which in some way prepped her to receive the mantle. But at some point a choice was made, even if subconsciously, even if she didn't actually understand that she was agreeing to be a potential bearer. Now she chooses to use the mantle. But can she not choose something else? Has to be... Cause honestly, otherwise I there's a bone needs picking with Jim about the size of a t-rex thigh ;)
