RNT: What is The Enemy's Plan in Storm Front?

[Bridger]

Specifically: What is Nemesis' Plan in Storm Front?

While reading SF, there's no real indication that anything deeper is happening.  It just seems like the Shadowman found some old books and learned some intro black magic and used it to make Three-Eye.

Yet in later books we find out that there's a bigger force moving behind all of this.  Assume for the moment that Harry doesn't stop Victor.  What does this accomplish for Nemesis'  What's their end goal in "helping" the Shadowman here?


This question will be discussed on the next episode of Recorded Neutral Territory, with the most insightful answers being featured on the show.

RNT is a chapter-by-chapter re-read podcast for the Dresden Files. Episode 8 just released yesterday.  In that episode we finally get to see Harry gear up and put on a show when he confronts Marcone at the Varsity.  At the end of the episode we also discuss using Thaumaturgy as a Weapon.

You have to think that third eye being distributed everywhere would have helped the Fomor's campaign.

Precisely. Nemesis says in Battleground through Justine that apocalypse isn't an event, its a frame of mind. Flooding the streets with the Three Eye Drug would help lay the framework of that frame of mind in the populace.
