[PT Spoilers] Why Wait?

(1/13) > >>

vultur:
I'm really surprised by how powerful Ethniu is.

If she was there all along, why did the Fomor have to wait for the power vacuum after the fall of the Red Court? I had kind of figured that meant they were weaker than the Red Court, White Council, etc.

But if Ethniu is significantly stronger than Mab, she could have just killed off the Red Court personally anytime she felt like it, if she wanted the Fomor to have more territory/power.

It also seems odd that the rest of the major god-like beings are 'retired' in some way or constrained from acting in the mortal world (by their natures?), but Ethniu can just come in and declare war on Chicago.

TheCuriousFan:
We still don't know what she wanted all those minor talents for. She could have had herself a great big meal before showing off in Chicago for all we know.

Arjan:
It might not have been her decision if she is infected.

The stars are getting close but the time is not completely there for the outsiders. They are still softening things up.

They are not at their strongest yet and Ethniu might be weaker than she looks as Marcone suggested.

The_Sibelis:
🤔 she might be infected yes... I realize her attitude matches an old theory I had on Nemesis despising Humanity for taking over the balance.. and now Ethniu is behaving very similar.

Conspiracy Theorist:
To create splits in the Accord nations and create defections. They might have been expecting the White Court to join them, or Marcone to withdraw, or Ferro.

All they got was the Ghouls, nobody likes the Ghouls. “Bah”, said Corb, “all we got was the Ghouls, do you know how much they need to eat? And the smell!” He said raising a perfumed handkerchief to his toadlike face. “Pure muscle, and no magic”

Marcone was probably a miscalculation, they assumed a mere mortal would fold. The White Court, maybe under Papa Raith, but less likely so under a distracted Lara, unless there is a coup going on in the background at the White Court. The former makes it more likely Thomas is not being used by the Black Council, the latter does.

If as posited they had already split off Drakul this makes sense, building an alliance to take on the mortals. The White Court would be singularly used in undermining mortal leadership with their sexual favours, although to be fair they seem to slip up sexually enough on their own.
