Morgan's Journal Revisited
Mira:
--- Quote ---Remember that Morgan was still officially viewed as a traitor by the White Council at the time of his death. So how is the conversation between Harry and the Senior Council going to go; I mean how is Harry going to explain it, after they see Morgan seemingly return from the dead? I think it's going to read like a Monty Python sketch or the Abbott and Costello "Who's on First?" sketch.

Indeed. The impression I got was the Senior Council at any rate knows that Morgan was innocent, but for political reasons have chosen to cover it up. More interesting, what is the fall out from the effects of Peabody's ink on decisions made by the Council? In the interest of not rocking the boat, those issues will be dealt with as quietly as possible least the Senior Council appear incompetent. So
better to maintain that Morgan was a guilty traitor than to admit the truth.

Harry may give them no choice, I think we are coming to the time the GateKeeper foresaw where Harry challenges the Senior Council (for real) about how they have been acting, executing Warlocks (when Demonreach is available), the actions of the Black Staff in breaking the Laws of Magic, the failure to protect and nurture the magical have nots and most of all the failure to address the Black Council.
The fear was that the White Council would split as Wizards might pick the Black Council as a putative winner, however a Harry based win against the Titan (and the Black Council) will see these fairweather wizards back Harry, as well as the majority of the Wardens and younger wizards, Harry may well have a coalition which can force change. We may also see several members of the Senior Council ‘retired’ in BG, not just the older three in Chicago, but Ancient Mai as well. We may only see a gullible Christos Merlin and GateKeeper left.

Very possible, but it could be something a lot more dramatic.

Yeah, River Shoulders comment to Harry about Listens to Wind nearing the end of his life, Eb's possible dementia, the Merlin not showing up to very important talks all hint of a possible big die off among the Senior Council. As a consequences we might see Harry appointed to the Senior Council because he is the hero of the battle against the Titian pitted against Christos, the new Merlin, polarization is bound to be the result.

Osteoporosis, at least it wasn't a hip. A broken hip can be devastating in the elderly.
