Dresden Comicon@Home Tidbit for Battle Ground
Grifter:
I was just thinking how, if it's all just a misunderstanding with Thomas and Etri that will get worked out in Battle Ground, the Svartalves might be really handy in building a facility on Demonreach. Obviously they couldn't be given free rein on the island, but if there's rubble from the broken lighthouse and house, they might be able to throw together a place in an afternoon.
Then I thought that Harry should be able to do it himself, if he can control Demonreach himself like we saw in PT. But it'd probably be a better job for the Svartalves. Then he could have a secure place there real quick (on the outside for visitors).

--- Quote from: KurtinStGeorge on July 26, 2020, 02:35:11 AM ---It seems to me that depending how things go in Battle Ground, Harry might be in a position to get a lot of things settled. He's going to have the only weapon that can kill a Titan or subdue it until it can be locked up. Also, consider what happens if Thomas becomes a KotC and saves whoever's left standing on the Senior Council, and probably Etri too. (I never really thought Thomas would go down this path, but it looks to me like Jim has set it up to happen and soon.) Finally, there's the possibility that this might be Ebenezer's last fight. I could see Harry ending up with the Blackstaff.
Simply rescuing the situation should be enough, but especially if Thomas does what I expect him to do, boy is Harry going to be able to say, "See I told you so."

Yeah, but it will be just ashes in his mouth because his win will also be his loss. Thomas might eventually end up as KotC, but not in the next book or the next in my opinion.
Conspiracy Theorist:
I think Thomas will be back for the wrestling book, as Thomas would be the “hero” in the ring, and Harry would be the “heel”.
Grifter:
Well he likely won't be in BG, because that's too quick. And he isn't needed for MM. So the wrestling book would be likely.

--- Quote ---Harry wouldn’t leave Chicago, his family are there his friends are there and Demonreach is there. His trapdoor is there. He loves that trapdoor. More importantly Mab wants him there. He is there at Christmas Eve. More likely he would move a lot of Warden operations to Chicago, it is a much bigger transport hub than Edinburgh, meaning it has more connections with the Never Never allowing for better Warden deployment and the three largest problems in the last few decades have been the Red Court based in South America, the heirs of Kemmler (Chicago) and the Titan attack (also Chicago). Edinburgh not so much unless you count the problems building the tram system. If Luccio is tapped for the Senior Council it would be a little awkward for her to work day in and out with Harry (the sorry tale of workplace romances) so a bit of distance may be order.
Now if only Harry had access to a large fortified building with wards equivalent to Edinburgh in which to work out of with residential facilities, a gym, a boardroom for meetings and a large hall for operations/ training/ function space, he could work from home, a lot of people are doing it now and it is time to drag the White Council kicking and screaming into the world of 20th century employment practices.......hmmmm.
It would also help if Harry had an isolated but secure baby Warden training facility, call it Camp Spooky which doubled up as a supermax prison where he could set up a juvenile wing for young warlocks instead of executing them which as a former young warlock is something he strongly dissapproves of and handily can now practically end.....hmmmmmm.
His use of Demonreach will be widely known after Battle Ground, the Senior Council will have to recognise that he is The Warden, definitive article, not a Warden. The Wardens are named after The Warden, and I suspect Captain of Wardens exists as post when there is no Warden (definitive article). For all we know Warden was a Senior Council post like Merlin, or GateKeeper which lapsed when no one was stupid enough to claim Demonreach as a sanctum. Then along came Harry. Chandler is a historian, he would know (now isn’t that handy that we just found that out, and he is for once in Chicago)
I would point out that there is a large amount of super warded stone on Demonreach in the ruined lighthouse, only a quarter of which was used to build the cottage, Harry can use the remainder for either building on his castle, or for building something like a bunkhouse for trainees on Demonreach itself, just need Alfred to block wardens from the Islands influence, which Harry has handily realised Alfred can probably do. This would be handy as there are increasing numbers of Wizards in need of training.
I think Harry is going to realise that he has through his choices and circumstance painted himself into a corner with the White Council and not the one he thought he had, instead of being pushed out, he is going to be pushed much further in.

I don't know why u think marcone would just hand over his castle to the white council or why Harry would want to live there.
I don't think Harry loves the trap door just the memory of his old apartment.
Luccio lost most of her power and skill due to being in a younger body, I'd be surprised if she was still eligible for senior council membership.
Luccio required someone to help her with the heavy lifting which is why Morgan was commanding the wardens, Harry could take over that position or be outright captain of the wardens. Depending on whether or not Luccio survives.
Harry was at the carpenters for Christmas because that's his family, Murphy is most likely dead.
We don't know how many of Harry's friends and family make it through battle ground.
Also I don't know how the council would go from dresden is dangerous he needs to be kicked out to let's let dresden move warden operations from Edinburgh the fortress of the White council to Chicago. Most likely as a reward for defeating the titan they would keep him in the council but would want to keep Harry close in case they need to remove him, that's the white councils style.
Edinburgh is also 35 mins from Chicago walking through the never never, so Harry could commute.
