current accords actually came about from the unseelie incursion of 1994

I always thought the current accords were just the latest in a series of accords, but one of Jim's 2020 interviews has me rethinking that. Sorry I can't be more specific because I only really remember Jim said something and that was my impression.

I'm thinking that was in the same Woj actually.. the accords are only the current version but there's always been something between the supernatural nations.

If any of you have a link, quote or explanation of that WoJ it would be appreciated.

OR
If Winter bites it/Titania hits the big red button, Winter's replacement needs to come from the Accorded nations.
OR
Mab couldn't afford the chaos to her rear while fighting the Outsiders.

Option 1 is definitely a factor, considering how Battle Grounds played out.  Your "firebreak" point also works with this theory.


--- Quote ---Of course, I've also speculated that the Courts are immune to Nemfection as a side-effect of their vampirism- that it "consumes" that port, to use a computer analogy. Makes them great candidates to protect reality, especially with their dependency on the mortal world.

I doubt it.  The Outsiders are able to manipulate and control anyone who isn't Starborn, which is why Drakul could outright ignore the Outsiders. But to fall under the influence of Nemesis, it would seem that He who Walks Beside has to use some temptation or other  that the person already has - such as when it gave Maeve the ability to lie and deceive despite her Fae nature in order to lure her in, or offering Justine her life back instead of being a near-dead emotionless husk, etc.  For a vampire, it could be as simple as giving them freedom from the Hunger while keeping their power intact.
