What if Eb is 100% correct about everything?

I don't think being an outlaw would matter too much for someone in Harry's position. There's a lot of talk in PT about all the people/things not taking shots at Harry because he's in the Council. I'm not so sure about that.

Yeah. Exactly. This whole line of thought seems suspicious. The Council doesn't really protect Harry that much, and to the degree they ever did, Harry's role as Winter Knight and reputation as the guy who killed off the entire Red Court would more than make up for it.

Especially Eb's comments about the Svartalves killing Harry for protecting Thomas.

In that case, Harry is acting under Mab's orders (through her favor to Lara). The Svartalves have no basis under the Accords to go after Harry for that.

And anyway... Harry's dealt with worse enemies than the Svartalves before. He'd have to live somewhere else, but once he was off their grounds, I really don't think that having them as enemies would be worse for Harry than, say, having the Red Court as enemies. Except that Harry has more resources now than he did between GP and Changes.

I'm not so sure about how much of a problem Svartalves would be. We've never really seen them in action. We've just repeatedly heard no one wants to mess with them.

Re: Harry being protected by the threat of White Council vengeance...

When he was dead for a year or so, did the White Council investigate at all?

We also heard that Mab has excellent relations with them. Lara seems to think she can smooth things out later and she is responsible for everything Harry does. It really depends on what Jim wants to happen.

@Bad Alias
Yeah I know, might makes right.

@vultur
The White Council went to war over Harry, even if it was kicking and screaming, and Jim has Harry call this out in the dialog.

@ClintACK
When we last see the Council in Changes they are at the edge of civil war, some of the young Wardens are locked up as is Luccio.  Maybe they were too busy to do much in terms of investigation. And Jim simply ignores that.

More generally, a suspicious mind might suspect that everybody is being manipulated in some fashion.  Everybody is just off.
