Probably not a coincidence that as the Fomor stepped up into their niche, they were also trying to interfere in Nic's plan to go after the armory.

Not sure the Fomor were involved in Skin Game beyond Octokongs in the Hotel. They were after Anna Valmont for information she had stolen from them used as a pretext by Nick to get her in place in the Hotel. She would have run in the opposite direction otherwise.
I wonder if the information stolen related to planning for the Battle of Chicago, it would explain the overreaction.

Did she give the Red Court the information Harry had a child and Eb was his grandfather and where to find Maggie just to put Harry in the situation where he would need to take up the Mantle?

Harry figured out that it was actually Martin's plan (and Martin admitted it).
He's the one who told the Ramp's where to find Harry Dresden's get.
As noted, Dresden was well-known to be the child of Margaret LeFay, and Duchess Ariana knew her to be McCoy's.
With the bloodline curse, she realized the Reds could snatch an unprotected little girl who would channel their magic to the Blackstaff.
It's possible that Mab had a hand in dropping a clue/hint/etc to someone along that chain, connecting the dots for someone who hadn't yet. AFAIK that's 100% speculation, unsupported by canon or WoJ...? However, it's a very Mab sort of move! Mab is in many ways Jim's proxy -- tormentingtempering Harry, powering him up for the BAT.

Well, but also remember the array of forces brought to that battle. Mab personally took the field, as did Odin -- the guy whose armory is a skyscraper, and makes "preppers" look like trusting head-in-the-sand pacifists. A bunch of the White Council's heaviest hitters. River-Shoulders (and some other Forest People?). Mr. Etri and the Svartalves. And more...
All they really showed up for was the "Peace Talks." Mostly they wanted to stabilize things. Then the Fomor brought a WMD to the PT. It stands to reason that when their WMD gets neutralized, they would be at a pretty severe disadvantage...
Aiotanga:
Seeing as Nic has the Grail, and the Sword of Love was once Excalibur, what if there will be a 'Quest for the Holy Grail' to determine who becomes the next wielder of the Sword through the recovery of the Grail. Because sure as anything, Nics plans for it are nefarious, and will need to be stopped. Just had the thought when reading the post.

That may be his plan but I don't think it will work out that way.
