Could the Za Lord's Guard defeat the White Council AND KotC Ways travel?
Mira:
--- Quote ---I don't know about that...he meets Vadderung for lunch once a year. It's implied in the vignette "The Good People" that he and Uriel have a deal around Christmas. So I would say Uriel has some leeway around deals. He clearly also had a deal with Mab and Demonreach in Ghost Story as well, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to do his little excursion/lesson with Harry.

Or does Uriel really have that much leeway? I think it is more like he is given task by his Boss. It isn't what Uriel wants as far as Christmas goes, or Harry's soul walk about, it is what his Boss wants. He knows from the onset what he can give or not give.. Like an ambassador negotiating a treaty, yes, he/she is making a deal, but nothing can be bargained on his/her own, it is what the countries represented wants.
Conspiracy Theorist:
Thinking about it Winter is all about sex and death, so Thomas finding a point congruent to a sex club in Chicago in Winter territory wouldn’t have been that difficult for him. He might have struggled in other parts of the Never Never but Faerie is the closest to the mortal realm and contains the majority of routes.
It does however indicate Winter probably already had an unhealthy fascination with Chicago before Grave Peril. Was Harry nudged there by Lea instead of going to say Kansas City when he left Hog Hollow because it was easier for her to stalk him there?
Aside from Demonreach, prior to Harry moving to Chicago you had it as a residence of a Knight of the Sword and the Summer Knight (Ruel) who looked after changelings of both Courts a Supernatural connections. You also had it as a residence of the Raith family.

An intriguing thought, and something the Reds may have been noticing too; everyone was stacking agents in Chicago, and still is (see: Namshiel/Marcone, Butters, the Fomor starborn, the Titan, Svartalfs - but by now they may be drawn there by Harry as well as all the reasons why Lea may have nudged him there).
morriswalters:
In the Dresdenverse Demonreach is the point. It was there first. All else would seem to follow. You might speculate that the various factions sense something is going to happen there, even if they don't consciously know it.

i'd point out no one stacked Butters in Chicago, he was there already when he signed on. And the Svartalves..likely have a presence in most major cities if they are that powerful. We don't know enough of those guys. They sound more Swiss or the like. Consulates in most major world cities? Likely have them almost certainly in NYC and DC, probably LA, London, etc.
I agree with Mira, if the Almighty wanted the Knights to have easy access to the Ways, He'd have done it by now. He doesn't always do such big things, just makes Forthill run out of gas in front of Michael's when he needs a babysitter. Heck, when Michael caught a Way in to save Molly... he still had to go back to Idaho or whatever with Harry to drive his truck back.....
(Ok, there was a little fringe - Michael's truck is fairly new, yet it works fine with Harry for a thousand miles? Some Heavenly mechanic adds Tempest level shielding? Just like Michael's house doesn't have issues...)
