In defense of the WC

Bastion of the Winter Knight, staffed by Winter-aligned Fae ... Basically (from the outside) it looks an awful lot like "this is a part of Winter."

Gotta be careful on that line, because if it is Winter, it could be an embassy, which would make Harry an ambassador - is there diplomatic immunity?

So, Elaine proactively contacts Carlos... "I'm helping the minor talents organize and train, adopting the kids who were orphaned by the White Court, etc. Can you take a look at this training-material on the Laws of Magic for me? We really don't want to run afoul of the wardens! Maybe you could even send wardens to do occasional trainings with us? Pretty please?"
And, being a full-on Wizard-level talent herself, she can filter the trainees, make sure no Warden ever encounters any trainees that the White Council would want to grab. But she can send a few strong-but-not-quite-WC-strong talents to Carlos for "testing."

Might be careful having Elaine around Carlos too much. He's convinced NOW she is a minor talent. What if he stumbles on she is likely stronger than him? Isn't she almost Harry-level? Just a little more finesse?
And how well do wizards detect power levels? She has Carlos fooled, and he's strong enough to be a Warden. The wizards might only be able to see on and off. Harry seemed surprised at Ascher's power and he had been on the expedition with her.

I'm pretty sure Host-Right & Guest-Right is about as far as the Unseelie Accords go towards that concept.

She won't have to have much interaction with Carlos. Hand over a copy of the "7 Laws Lesson Plan," bat her eyelashes.
Mostly, after that, she'll have other teachers be interacting with the Wardens.
But even if she does have to deal more with Carlos... remember, she'll be teaching now. Just like Harry did, Elaine will find her powers developing more quickly & more deeply. She'll be getting more and more able to deceive Carlos.

Remember, Hannah was being coached in deception by the Web-Weaver herself, Lasciel.

Unless he's training little warlocks. In which case Carlos will be like "it's just been revoked"...
--- Quote from: g33k on August 10, 2022, 09:29:17 PM ---As per my own theory, I think the Paranet will be taking "lead" on the school. And I think the overwhelming majority of students will be "minor talents" like the Ordo Lebes were.
They may even make a show of directing some borderline cases to the White Council, and maybe get a "White Council Approved" curriculum around teaching the Laws.
Elaine certainly knows how to contact Carlos!
But if they "hide in plain sight" that way, the WC will probably ignore such a school indefinitely... very much unlike a school run by Headmaster Harry.

Not indefinitely. As soon as the war with the fomor is settled, the wardens will devote more time to checking on low level magical societies, which is part of their jobs.
PS: @Ed: could you please not double (and triple and quadruple) post? It buries the posts before you, making them harder to quote.
