morriswalters:
If you are interested, here is a link to a book called Tales of King Arthur and the Round Table on the Gutenberg Project library. I read this as a child. God knows why.
I suspect if you live long enough you will see JB's take of the story at some point. It's not inconceivable that Margaret is Morgana and that Harry's father is Arthur. She takes him to Avalon upon his death. That's pure fan service for what it's worth. I'm pretty sure at this point that Margaret both traveled in time and across the multiverse. If you buy that then it isn't out of the question.

I did wonder how much Margaret Le Fay and Morgana Le Fay had in common. And I admit, at some point, I thought Margaret might very well be Morgana.
Which leads me to a new theory: Could Harry Dresden actually have been the original Merlin? Because you know, if he ever travels back in time in the future books - that is a possibility. Although Demonreach did say (was it Demonreach who said that?) that the island has had 2 Wardens. Harry obviously being the second one.
Snark Knight:
--- Quote from: KurtinStGeorge on January 29, 2019, 08:11:31 AM ---So for example, it's possible that Cowl was behind some of the planning that went into the assault on Demonreach island in "Cold Days," but he sure as hell didn't make himself a potential target by riding on any of the barges with the practitioners who were attempting the ritual to bring down the island prison's defences.

Do we actually know that for a certainty? There was a WOJ floating around before Cold Days that Cowl's next appearance would be in CD. It's possible Jim just changed his mind on including him, of course, but if he was one of the summoners on the barges I don't think he'd have much problem rabbiting once the situation got out of hand.
Bad Alias:
@Snark Knight: I'm pretty sure that's just an example of how Kurtin's theory could play out.
Yuillegan:
Not to spoil the fun but Bad Alias is right - the Athame (Morgan Le Fay's Athame) that Lea receives is NOT the Spear of Destiny. That would be pretty unlikely considering it was hidden deeply in some part of the Greek Underworld along with several other objects of Christ.
Consider that the Athame itself is still up there with a Sword of the Cross - that still makes it exceptional in it's own right considering what we know of the Swords. Consider also that Amorrachius has also been Excalibur in the age of Merlin...who as we all know instructed Morgan Le Fay. He also had a relationship with Nimue - the Lady of the Lake. She was a sort of fae goddess, I suspect quite likely it was Mab before she was Mab (when she was still a Lady). That puts both instruments in use around the same time.
And Bad Alias - I see what you are saying, just pointing out that Dresden only realised during this book that the Black Council might just be a smaller piece of the puzzle. In saying that - I think the passage I quoted was the first textual piece of exposition where Dresden has his realisation. He may well have had it earlier, but I can't find any passage before that particular one that suggests this might be so.
