Lara Raith marriage consummation

<< < (6/25) > >>

Arjan:
I think the mantle is perfectly capable of making you a women. It is a pretty bbasic curse in D&D after all ;D

But only if you don't want it of course.

Arjan:
I think Jim said somewhere that white court wizards are not as strong as coucil wizards but they can do interesting things with their hunger

I don’t know, in The Law, Bob is unduly fascinated with Gary’s skull, and appears to want to jump his bones.

Yep Arjan, within a few years Harry would be staring at Carlos bust, purely as a professional trained observer of course.

vincentric:
Virginity is not a requirement for a Lady's Mantle. Lily was not a virgin when she succeeded Aurora and Sarissa was in-line for both the Summer and Winter offices despite her long life and experiences. The Mantles enforce celibacy and then only in the strictest sense of actual intercourse it seems. There may be considerable leeway in other activities.

--- Quote from: morriswalters on July 22, 2022, 01:58:46 PM ---Neither the White Court or the Fey Courts use heirs to establish linage. The linage of the Fey is passed through the Mantle which is granted, not inherited, thus Molly. And the Whites use a political mechanism so that while Lara is the leader in fact, she rules through a puppet.  Both of the protagonists are immortals in any case. If a Lady is killed a male child could never take up the Fey Mantle.  In the case of Lara for a child of Harry to take the leadership of the Whites it would to murder to enable it's demon.

I think what you are saying is they do not use heirs to determine SUCCESSION. The LINEAGE is biological. Harry is Eb's lineage, Joe knows it, I expect Martha does, and I'd be shocked if Rashid and Langtry don't.  It does not mean he gets the Mc Coy Seat, if you will,  on the WC. Otherwise there would never be a debate on who gets the open seat, and a Christos is blocked.

Lara rules thru a puppet as it was the quickest, most bloodless method to gain the power. Now, if in a few years it comes to light that she HAS puppeted her father, Whamps may think of a coup. But they also wouled have to realize she had the power to overthrow her father. They may learn Thomas is far from the idiot he pretended, and has some small magical ability, and if she still has her scary AF Winter Knight consort? They saw the duel in Raith Deeps, and he had much less power then. They know about the Red court. If they find out who... they could decide he might not be a man to cross. Plus, wizards only live 4, 500 years. Whamps play the long game.
