How hard did Ebenezar try to kill Lord Raith?

And yet, Chateau Raith hasn't been reduced to a smoking crater by any satellite impacts.
I don't doubt his sincerity, but he may have had to take some tactics off the table if they would have been blatant enough to cross the line from settling the scores on a personal vendetta into violating the Accords and starting a war. Significant collateral damage to other whampires probably would have done that.

You really think a pro like Eb couldn't make a grease spot out of Lord Raith without wrecking the place? It wouldn't have made a difference anyway, if he is immune, Lord Raith would merely have crawled out of the ruins and brushed himself off. Eb most likely would have been implicated in a number of violations listed under Mab's Accords and it would have been a mess. No, this had to have been an attempt at a cover squish, an overt one would have led to more trouble than Raith is worth.
Arjan:
There was no official war. Ebenezer could kill Ortega in such an open public way because there was a war going on.

Yes, but when he was seeking revenge for the murder of his daughter, there was no such war going on.
forumghost:
It does seem a bit odd, yes. Especially since throwing things at people with magic to splat them is apparently one of Eb's go-to's, and if it works with car keys, why wouldn't it work with an orbital body?
Maybe Lord Raith is less immune to Harry pulling something then Eb due to Starborn Shenanigans, since his protection is Outsider-based?
