Svangal (or was it Svangr?)

Anywhere, let her ride the Jotun and refer to it as "Backup"

So,


Option 1: Much like the "state of mind" dig, this is to make Harry question what he thought he knew- ie, he's being told he was being observed
Option 2: This is a tell for Nemfection.

So, who else has said something like this to Harry?

Cristos is still suspect as a black hat.

And the Merlin is a control freak, and Harry's a loose cannon who must have pocketed the Eye of Balor

I think ultimately it's a pressure play about the Eye; but politically it worked because three of Harry's four supporters weren't available.

I agree.  It feels... disjointed.  The first person PoV made it near impossible to show Murphy’s decision to fight.  But I agree Harry should have been present for his “trial”.  I cannot believe Lucco didn’t speak out for Dresden and Ramerize’s flip to “enemy” is weird.

I still find the Butters “wish fulfillment” sceen in PT eye roll worthy, at best.

It's either a full Council vote, or a Senior Council vote.

If it's a Senior Council vote, these are the members:

Martha Liberty
Joseph Listens-to-Wind
Ebenezer McCoy
Grigori Christos
Arthur Langtry
Ancient Mai
Rashid "I am the Gatekeeper" Gatekeeper

Rashid would have been at the Outer Gates.
Ebenezer and LtW were in surgery.

4 members is a majority, so they probably had a quorum to hold votes.

If the votes are unchanged, this is:

Martha Liberty: Against
Christos, Mai, Langtry: For

And Harry's out.

White Court Vampires.

1) They have the same kind of silvery color that soulfire gives Harry's magic.
2) They're "truly" alive, so if the original was necromancy+Soulfire back to life, it was more "real" than necromancy- which is what Soulfire does
3) They feed on bits of soul/emotion (Soul regrows from emotion), as does their Hunger
4) If their Hunger runs out of "buffered" or "gas tank" or "digested" soul, it goes after their own soul
5) So, posit: The original White Court vampire was someone resurrected by a mix of soulfire/necromancy. They have the trope superhuman abilities of the wakened dead, and super-healing, as if the original resurrection spell is still actively trying to revive them, but their soul is being eaten to feed the process. They have the ability to steal/digest soul from humans to replace this loss and even overfill themselves; they additionally have the magic ability to induce "growth" of extra soul (they can generate intense emotions in their victims) that they can then eat, much like Thomas eating Justine's mania so she can be normal.

Sufficiently powerful feelings in a nascent WC vampire are enough energy to complete/ritually complete the spell, leaving them fully restored.

As a WAG

Fails the thermonuclear war/comet hits Edinborough/deadly plague that only affects wizards criteria.

Kemmler's in no way restricted by these things. Unless he doesn't want to die. Then he might restrict himself.

EDIT: I covered Latin in college. There's plenty of room for ambiguity.

I assume it is either Lea's to distribute or it will go to the nearest suitable mortal with Fae connections.

At a bare minimum, Elaine exists within the circle of the world. Her connections are to Summer, but Sarissa shows that not being a limiter.

Whereas if he powers up to do it himself he doesn't have any powerful loose cannon rivals to worry about.

Context matters.

The Fae can't say "White is black" in general. I assume they can, when discussing music, say "White is black," because Barry White is black.

The limits on the concept are fascinating.

Fae: "Ask me my favorite fruit, this is a command."
Fae servant: "What is your favorite fruit?"
Fae: "In due time."

Fae enemy: "What is the password?"
Fae*makes eye contact with servant* "It is banana"
