Random question about Nickelheads & Summer

--- Quote from: Kindler on December 27, 2017, 06:39:29 PM ---My belief is that the Winter Court was established before Hastings, and had accumulated enough power and influence to take over the Outer Gates from Odin after the Vikings' defeat at Stamford Bridge, which was Odin's last attempt to hang on to his power. I believe that the previous Winter Lady was killed at Hastings—Summer and Winter had taken opposing sides, in my hypothesis—and that is why they haven't spoken. Mab is too furious with Titania after the death of her daughter.

That is what I think is happening now. I think the vampires were trying to be the ones to take over from Winter. The dinner that Maggie Sr, Ariana, and Lord Raith were at was the beginning of the planning.
When Eb wouldn't attend, the vampires decided that the Wizards had to be taken out so as to allow the Vamps to be able to create more troops for the defense of the Outer Gates. Thus the plans for the War with the Wouncil. But it was started a bit too early and they weren't able to put them away quickly enough. The spell at Chichen Iza wasn't just to take out Harry and Eb, but all Wizards.

Sounds plausible to me.
Maybe that was why Maggie left; she realized that Papa Raith had become compromised by the Outsiders, and that the vampires might be compromised. She decided that Humanity had to take up defense of the Gates, and wanted to make a starborn to get the ball rolling and upset the balance of power in the world—which, as it turns out, is working pretty dang well.

I really hope we get some more info on the Hastings thing.

Hastings, Kemmler, others
