  I doubt seriously that Mab has access, she wasn't just being polite when she asked Harry if she could bury the Ladies on the island.  That is an acknowledgement that the island is his realm now.  Also the fact when Harry threatened her by saying if she didn't answer his questions he'd have Alfred take her below.  She turned pale, he can in effect do that.

the Winter Queen has power, but Alfred put ETHNIU on ice, so to speak.... I think Mother Winter could mouth off, but not below that.

What is the real difference between opening a portal and a Way? Is a Way a stable wormhole of sorts? You already KNOW the two ends?

Rashid is the international man of mystery who goes where he wants to go, when he wants to go there. My money is on Rashid being able to create Portals anywhere, at will.

He's not making one on Demonreach, for fear of becoming an International Puddle of What's That?. He and Big Al aren't chums.

A portal is a deliberate thinning of reality between the mortal world and the Never Never, a way is a route between portals in the NeverNever which is not congruous in distance or time to the equivalent points in the mortal world.

My guess is that Rashid doesn’t have the power to make a portal to anywhere he wishes, he more likely has an extraordinarily well developed sense of where such a portal will come out in either the mortal world or Never Never. So he might sense  that opening a portal in Mab’s Ice Dungeon opens out into the prison itself, but that a corridor or antechamber near to it opens up on the island itself.

Margaret also must have had a similar well developed sense, especially for her youth. It’s like a sense of direction.

I described what he does.  If he needs Harry then he always finds him. No matter where he is.

He was Margaret's friend. He put a tracer on her amulet, and now Harry has it. Tracks like the Summer Pin....
