For the longest time I believed Ferrovax was Nemfected at Bianca's ball.  However my brother came up with what I thought was a pretty good idea.  Jim said that Ferro's gift was gold, and jewels.  My brother said that maybe one of the gold coins was from one of the Fallen.

That's a pretty scary prospect right there.  A Dragon joined with a Fallen.  This makes sense for a few of reasons. 

1.  Nicodemus believes the Black Council is working with some of the Fallen, and wants them stopped.  So Cowl getting one of the Fallen he's aligned with to Ferrovax makes sense.

2.  There was an attack on Arctis Tor, and when Harry saw the damage he commented that he couldn't have done that much damage even with Hellfire.  Well a Dragon using hellfire probably could.

3.  We would actually see a fight between a Knight or Knights, and Dragon which sounds like something Jim would want to write. 

Alright this has been done a lot, I know.  Who's the British person there?

Now I know we site the language of the person as being more modern than someone from Arthur's time period.  I grant that as something difficult for my theory to stand up against.  However I'm going by two things I have picked up, one from outside the book, one from inside.

In mythology King Arthur was mortally wounded.  He's taken to an island to heal, but he must remain there to heal, and return at a later time....  I'm putting emphasis on "must remain there" to heal..

Now the person on the Island said "I need to be here". 

That doesn't sound like someone who was locked up.  Most locked up people don't need to be there from their own stand point.  They want out.  Also it was the Lady of the Lake who placed Arthur there.  I see a lot of parallels between Mab, and the Lady of the lake.  The Lady of the lake provided Arthur with Excalibur, and now it will be returned to DR where this British person also waits...  Seems to me things are lining up for that person, and their role in future books...

So discuss, what do you think?

Hades had a crown (halo?) of Mordite.  Harry took notice of it and had some ideas of it.  Here is a question I have.  Could the Mordite crown/halo actually be of significance about Hades?  Mordite comes from the Outside.  I was thinking maybe he wears it like a trophy for his fights against the Outsiders, or perhaps it's an actual symbol of status for a position he holds (besides the obvious one).  Think it has a meaning or was Harry's guesses more accurate?

Another thing to consider also is that Hades has something from the Outside.  Mother Winter also does I think with the Black Staff/Walking stick.  I have the opinion that it's connected to the Outside, and that's why it's able to absorb the negative effects of dark magic.  Harry said it looked alive.  I think it's a form of life from there.

Something occurred to me that I found a little odd about Nemesis.  In the Oblivion war the idea is removing all the Names of the Old Ones, removing their connection to reality.  The more modern gods gained power from worship, praise, and generally the population believing in them.  In both cases these Beings gain power from knowledge of their existence.  Nemesis is the exact opposite though.  Harry is told that Nemesis kills anyone with knowledge of it's existence.  Isn't that a little strange?  What is it that causes this difference?

I had a couple ideas:

1.  Nemesis is somehow the opposite, and gains power from lack of knowledge of it's existence.  Can't explain why it would work like this.  Maybe it's latched on to people's belief in the unknown, and their fear of it.  So it's powered by being unknown.

2.  Nemesis is in fact a mortal wizard.  I actually think this is possible.  The Old Ones have been around since like forever, so have the Outsiders.  Nemesis in my opinion (unless there are WoJ, or in book info I don't remember) a mystery.  Do we know how long it's actually been in play?  It might only have been around for fifty years, or a few hundred, or a thousand.  Even if it's longer than a thousand years, a dark wizard can probably find ways to extend their lives similar to Kemmler's practices, or simply by obtaining a Mantle that keeps them alive.  If this is the case then Nemesis can really break the rules effectively, and that's why people like Mab are so terrified by it.  A wizard doesn't have to play by the same rules, and if said wizard has obtained some really dark power they can do some major damage.  If this is the case I'd guess it's a really powerful, Starborn wizard that's gone full dark side.

What do you think?

Just a vid that seemed to go with the Hades theme.

anyways think he will be there at PT?

Hey I wanted suggestions for writing software.  The main thing for me I guess would be a good spell check lol.  I look up software that is supposed to be good, and then read mostly negative reviews.
