A Warden is needed 24/7/365 with full time spotters stationed at key spots around the shore with one or two fully kitted Warden/Winter SWAT teams also.
The safeguards in place are not enough when you consider that the island is only one bad boss from Ethniu and beings greater than her being unleashed on humanity with bad intentions. Ethniu and one tag team partner can take out Mab and Titania, who are our most powerful defenders who can act directly in opposition. Just the act of freeing them at once might be enough. That much power concentrated together might shatter Reality
Conspiracy Theorist:
The Council wanted an absentee Warden, someone who would be a placeholder without really wanting the position. They were hoping to forget about Demonreach and fall back into their favourite pass time of internal politics. Besides the ENTIRE Senior Council were being influenced at the time by Peabody. If the aim was Demonreach you can bet they were influenced not to think about it. As only the Senior Council really knew of it none of the wizards helping them recover knew to ask about it, and deal with Peabody instructions on it.
Two new points on re-read
(1) the Otso perfectly describes how Bob or Bonea could enflesh their skulls, a theory I have been putting forward.
(2)Maximillian Valerious = Valerious Maximus a historical figure from the Rome of 1AD author of “Nine books of memorable deeds and sayings". If Harry has been learning Latin he should recognise that name.
Heloise is also of interested do not see her
seanham:
Back to the OP, why does Nameless need to seek shelter under the protection of Winter/Mab as a vassal? It sounds like he is very powerful. Why is he not a Freeholder Lord? Also, what could Mab get out of the deal? As pointed out by Bob Nameless is a difficult ally to have because his aura(?) creates division and chaos, not things you want when planning for a battle. We know that Mab does nothing without reason so what could her reason be for bringing Nameless as her vassal? Also, we'll probably see him again in 12 Months because he is probably the Lawyer reviewing the conditions for Harries and Lara's dates.

That's also a good point. One of the more knowledgeable characters (Vadderung, I think?) at one point equated a Warden being active to the island being 'awake'.
I have some doubts Alfred, if awake, would have tolerated the Denarians doing a major working on the island's surface. If LaFortier was the Warden and left the defenses sufficiently down to allow them to do that, he wasn't much of a caretaker. Although, Alfred also took some years before introducing Harry to the actual capability to leave defenses turned on, so who knows?

Harry flat out says that Mab doesn't trust him. She placed him and Ms Lapland in the mortal world after Arctis Tor was attacked. That is why I suggested in my thread that he may have been a mole for Nemesis before hand. Also I believe she knows that Namshiel had something to do with the attack on Arctis Tor, that Marcone had the coin and that it was only a matter of time before he took it up. So Nameless is useful to her as one who can keep an eye on Marcone and all his business dealings, thus Namshiel.
