Winter Court Line of Succession

(1/4) > >>

Mira:


So Mab tells Harry, no, orders Harry to kill Molly if she falls.  Why?  Because though she shows promise as a Winter Lady she is no way ready to be Winter Queen.  Like Harry really is going to follow that order.  Anyway, if Mab is dead, and Molly is dead, who becomes Queen? I presume it is Lea, but then who gets the Lady mantle?

BrainFireBob:
I assume it is either Lea's to distribute or it will go to the nearest suitable mortal with Fae connections.

At a bare minimum, Elaine exists within the circle of the world. Her connections are to Summer, but Sarissa shows that not being a limiter.

vultur:
I believe if Mab dies, Molly immediately becomes Queen and the Lady mantle jumps to a new host on its own; so if Molly then immediately dies that new person becomes Queen.

Mab's order is rather odd; why would some random person be better suited to be Queen than Molly? It's also a bit odd that Mab assumes that Harry would be capable of killing even a new-to-the-Mantle Winter Queen.

But perhaps Mab knows Harry would not follow such an order, and her giving that order has some other effect down the road she does want?

morriswalters:
Remember the banner.

forumghost:
My guess would be if there's no viable candidates to hold them, the Mantles would go back to themselves (in this case to Mother Winter) so they can be handed out again.

That's probably part of their job- contingencies and all that.
