[PT Spoilers] Why does Ferrovax care?

(1/5) > >>

vultur:
After Ethniu kicks Mab through the wall, LaChaise says the Accords are broken, and Vadderung and Ferrovax argue that they have to stop Ethniu because otherwise mortals will retaliate against all supernaturals.

But why do they care? OK, there's a WOJ that Odin likes hanging out in the mortal world even though it makes him more vulnerable, so him I can see. Plus he probably wants to keep collecting Einherjar.

But Ferrovax? Implicitly he's geologically old; he's not going to have a human sense of time. And per WOJ he's too powerful to really do much in the mortal world anyway, without messing things up.

Why doesn't he just pop into the Nevernever for 500 or 1,000 years? Probably by then no one would believe the stories about what happened in Chicago way back then... (I mean, in the DV at one time magic was widely believed in, but now it's not. So why wouldn't it be "forgotten" again in the same way?)

Second Aristh:
Perhaps Ferrovax has some sort of Duty not in the NN?  Power in the DV comes with restrictions and responsibilities, typically. 

As another guess, if the Fomor get their way, one side or the other may annihilate each other entirely so there's nothing to come back to in a few centuries.

As a third guess, Ferrovax might prefer the Accords to be in place.  If you're not interested in making enemies, they're pretty good at protecting you.  Ferro is part of the Accords and he honors his word, so sitting this fight out isn't an option.

The_Sibelis:
Because a thousand years later he won't be remembered and he'll just drift into nothingness?

Arjan:
Because he does not want the outsiders to break through the outer gates and the apocalypse to break down this reality. He knows what is at stake.

Conspiracy Theorist:
Because he is keeping an eye on Odin, they counter balance each other if he is indeed the Midgard Serpent.

Beowulf slew the Dragon and died from his wounds, St Nicholas charmed a dragon menacing a village and got it to stop. Stories of stalemate. Working together is a whole new surprise for them, but they are crusty old entities of their word and both had given it to Mab.
