kel0700:
Just wondering is it possible for Harry to create his own demense in the never never? We have a woj that a lot of the older wizards on the council have one and in Ghost Story Harry talked about how it would be pretty straightforward to create one with bobs help. But in ghost story Harry seamed to imply that he could only create one because he's a ghost if that's the case how do older wizards on the white council have one?

Kindler:
I think the Ghost Story bit about Nevernever Demesnes is mostly because it would basically be a requirement for Harry if he was going to stick around as an incorporeal dude. Harry's life up to that point had been about routine, as is pointed out several times by Murphy and others; he'd need some kind of stability to avoid going insane and full poltergeist.

I do think that Harry could do it as a corporeal wizard, he just hasn't felt the need to do so. From Storm Front-->Changes, it wasn't really worth the effort. From Ghost Story-->Skin Game, he simply didn't have the resources, I think, and he needed to stay on the Island anyway. Now he's got Maggie living with him, and I think he's going to want to keep her as far away from the Nevernever as possible.

SerScot:
If Harry did create a Demense would Lea guard it?

Snark Knight:
If it works anything like Lea putting her garden across from Harry's dwelling, it's probably the kind of thing that would take continuous upkeep. WOJ was that Harry already spends about a full time job's worth out of an average week in his life on maintenance and improvement of foci, and his gear has saved his life enough times he'd be very reluctant to skimp on that.

In between his other duties, I doubt he had time to even consider creating a demesne until his year of living on the island. And scouting for locations to claim and remodel into a demesne by stepping across from the island would be just about equivalent to Russian Roulette.

SerScot:
Speaking of the NN when will we find out what is on the other side of Demonreach?
