Or maybe it was just an oversight. Not nearly as fun.

DF Spoilers / Re: Rebuilding (Little) Chicago.
« on: October 12, 2021, 12:42:22 AM »
I'm rereading Small Favor. Luccio pulls out a map of ley lines that was given to her from  Listens to Wind. North and South Manitou Island(s) are listed as a source of dark power, but two hundred miles north of Chicago.

I wonder if all these Ley Lines create nexus points that can be exploited by Harry, as the Warden. I'm just thinking that with all the baddies currently jailed on DR, you'd think there would be a hack for getting them there. If anyone can, Harry will figure it out.

Anyway--Maybe BLC can be working into the Ley Line maps and then connected to the Castle and the tower on DR. Or something like that.

DF Spoilers / Re: Who will be the next Blackstaff? (If Eb dies)

No one, Harry takes it from Eb not necessarily upon his death and returns it to Mother Winter earning a huge favour, and removing from the White Council a major magical artefact, which allowed it to act with rank hypocrisy. Harry would see that as a win-win.

Is this the "Chosen one restoring balance to the universe" thing?

Side note thought...

My cousin was a police chief in a small town for about 25 years and in that time saw a lot of officers come and go. The one thing he said that made the most sense with regards to this question of who gets it is that the last person you want in that position of authority is someone who can't wait to be there. I think Eb was the right person for the Blackstaff because he valued all that was beautiful and amazing about magic (that he imparted to Harry) and that he'd only use it if no other decision could be made. I'm starting to think that the Blackstaff (actual) is similar to one of the Swords in that the wielder must be right for the job.

Consider Winter's calculating and pragmatic approach to decision making and (if it really is Mother Winter's walking stick), how Eb was chosen to be its bearer. What dire circumstance was at hand (How long has Eb had it?) when Eb was chosen (or chose) to be the Blackstaff? Was he, like Harry, a tool to be wielded by Winter? I think that's a story I might like to read.

Just yapping.

Cheers and best to you around the globe!

WoJ says there are three others, but they're little more than mosquitoes.

Thanks!

It maybe just a thread, but the ease at which drakul flung him basically beyond reality gives another stitch to the idea each of the seven vampire courts comes from a violation/conjunction of one the laws of magic 🤔
Blamps already having to do with reaching beyond the outer gates imo. To give the original the ability to do so with ease...

Wait...there are Seven? I thought 4--White Court, Black Court, Red Court (Presumed extinct except for the Eebs?), and Jade (little known and probably never to be seen.)

What did I miss?

If Chandler were a Michael, or Butters, or someone who's been around a lot, I could see it.  As he is right now?  I don't see it.  I see him either being an enemy in plain sight, or now a slave of Drakul. 

Either he got Carlos to assign him to the mission, or Carlos was manipulated into bringing him, in my opinion.  I believe Drakul wanted Chandler specifically which is why he wasn't killed like the others.  Either way, it wouldn't make much sense for Drakul to get him, only for Chandler to sneak away on his own.  If he does escape, it's because Drakul wanted him to (let him go).  Remember him mentioning that he sometimes promises people immortality?  Hmmmm

Umm....yep.Bad guy.

Well we knew his specialty was time magic, so him being the talking head in MM to explain things makes sense.

Can we get a reference for this? It's spoken of frequently, but I don't remember where we learn this. Or is it just a WoJ?

Thanks---B

Oh. And I still think Chandler's a bad guy.

Ooooh. I like that one, Mira. If not a vessel for the leyline energy, then what?

DF Spoilers / Re: Who do you think the Vampires took from Eb?
« on: August 30, 2021, 09:51:25 PM »
I think it is norther Missouri that Eb's farm is located in.. 
According to the National Geographic;
 

So very possible..

Ozarks are in southern part of Missouri and Northern part of Arkansas. They do extend into MO, OK, AR, and a small piece of Kansas.

Mavra.

Not sure why. Just a feeling.

Ooooooh! I like that reference. (And I'm in a reread cycle one away from TurnCoat). So, years away...it's technically been years (7 in book years, I think...more if you include actual time between release dates). I wonder how he'd handle it now. And I wonder how the Winter Knight mantle would react to the power? Dresden the Unstoppable!

DF Spoilers / Demonreach, Ley lines, and Harry's connection
« on: August 26, 2021, 08:00:40 PM »
A thought...Harry is able to bind Ethniu in Battleground on the shores of Lake Michigan and he says that's the extent/limit of his reach. Alfred's power interacts with Harry's now giving his shield, energy, whatever a green tint. If the island and it's prisoners are the source of the ley line energy in the world, and Alfred is the island (hmmm...), shouldn't Harry be able to do a binding from anywhere the ley lines are regardless of his proximity to the island?

Upon rereading/listening to Proven Guilty, Lash describes the ward guarding the Carpenter's safe room as a working by Rafael or one of his lieutenants. I don't know that this entirely negates Mac as being Rafael, but I think it's food for thought. A nibble at least.
