I cannot wait to see how Harry's snark adapts to the new political situation

(1/3) > >>

Hankthemoose:
I fully expect him to launch a propaganda war against the WC featuring his usual heavy handed Star Wars metaphors.

For real, though, I expect him to found a new and competing institution of organized Wizardry, incorporating the low talents of the Paranet, and working closely with both Summer and Winter, and focusing on an aspect of balance, like the fae.

This means they wouldn't kill, but rather recruit and work to redeem kids who started the slide into black magic due to lack of guidance. This would allow Harry to begin to build the larger powerbase he refers to at the end of BG.

To balance Harry, and to liaise with Summer, this would involve pulling in Elaine. She is sort of a lighter mirror of Harry, so this would fit very well with the story so far.

The WC would definitely order Eb to kill Harry at this point. He will refuse, causing a schism and breaking the WC's power in the process. Because Jim is an asshole, he would then definitly send Ramirez to kill them both.

Noted this in another thread. This will look a lot like Kemmler's Thule society from the outside.

Arjan:
Harry did not use Kemmlers book against the black court. I was hoping for it.

I like most of this, but I really can't see the White Council expecting Ramirez to kill Harry.

If they decided to kill him and Eb refused, they'd probably do a full Kemmler-style mobilization.

Though the actual best bet would probably be to have a mortal do it with a car bomb or sniper rifle. A full mobilization would take time and not be particularly secret, and Harry as the leader of a magical organization and allied by marriage to the White Court would have significant resources of his own - it would be a full-scale war.

Wait a minute... is this what the Paranet is, from the Council's POV?
