The wardens and council member all wear both Cloak and robe at a trial/execution.(click to show/hide)

For completeness sake, there's also the Brown robes of an Apprentice.

That does bring up a question, when someone is 'dressed in robes' what types of robe does that invoke? Im specifically thinking of Cowl and Kumori.

DF Books / Warden and White Council attire/costume question
« on: July 24, 2017, 08:23:56 PM »
In the Dresden Files, we have seen what is considered formal attire in the White Council meetings.
Per the wiki:
Formal robes were flowing black with stoles of satin and silk in one of the various colors and pattern of trim that denoted status.
Color or Trim Pattern Status Meaning
Purple stole Senior Council
Blue stole Member
Red stole Member with a Century of Service
Braided silver cord Master Alchemists
Gold stitched Caduceus Master Healers
Copper chevron Doctorate in Scholarly Discipline
Seal of Solomon Master Exorcist
So that is the regular White Council, but what about when Wardens are on duty at formal events? Do they wear the stoles or is their attire along with the grey cloaks, slightly different since they are suppose to be in a position to protect and keep order?

« on: July 24, 2017, 08:11:36 PM »That's an excellent point. There are circumstantial answers, but none that I can think of with actual support.good point. The suggestion of Simon being Cowl instead of being dead like people first thought is intriguing. I mean the rot could refer to all the damage Peabody was doing and its expanding effects.
Possibilities might be: Memory loss from Body-hopping? Or simple human fallibility and requiring his original research notes? Though the simplicity of the spell itself according to Harry might make that unlikely.
And Harry hadnt met Simon so that could make sense.
Initally if I remember Cowl was more interested in stopping others and if in the process he got the power he could 'set things right' but that doesnt explain his summoning of the demon in white knight.

DF Books / Re: Question about the first law
« on: July 11, 2017, 10:59:14 PM »
The 7 laws are to limit Wizards to a point that things to not devolve into a magical power fight where people are using black magic to gain power over all else.
So, if you kill a human with magic you are setting up a level where you focus on killing magic, that leads to black magics that are very effective at killing people, and roll down the hill we go.
If you go thru each law, it basically boils down into preventing something that leads to black magic or another similar issue 'end of life as we know it'.
Ethics and morality dont go into it because everyone's thoughts on where the line is drawn between right, wrong and acceptable exceptions is different.

Well I think Justin is dead and gone. His spirit -etc was in Kemmler's body when the death blow occured.
But, I think that Cowl is some other host body that Kemmler hopped into.

DF Books / Working for Bigfoot -hardcopy shortage?
« on: July 10, 2017, 07:00:02 PM »
Hi guys,
Question, what ever happend to Working for Bigfoot coming out in hard copy rather than just electronic copy?
I know there had been a problem that resulted in many going back to the publishers but I never saw replacements come out. When I check on amazon, only non e copies are individual sales for $99 or higher.
Does anyone know the story?

« on: July 10, 2017, 06:57:24 PM »
So... I saw this in another group and wanted to put it out here. Since Kemmler's students have the ability to body switch. What if Kemmler did that to Justin Du Moore?
Kemmler masqueraded Justin including taking in Harry -etc.
It would explain why he kept Bob around as well as clarifying why he'd be into the dark magic.
After all there seem to be 2 versions of Justin that people saw. The warden that took down Kemmler and fulfilled his duties AND the jerk who appeared to have gone warlock before getting killed and having a secret apprentice that he never told the 7 laws to.

DF Books / Re: Skin Game question --possible Michael issue **spoilers**
« on: July 10, 2017, 06:53:19 PM »
I saw one person on a FB use this as justification that Michael is now infected and evil. I disagree with that entirely.
(the person was saying Murphy and everyone who got kidnamed in Cold Days was now evil..)
I was wondering if it was in the scope of the particular area -a broken arm vs a person's current condition.
Or might be a typo that will get corrected later.

« on: July 09, 2017, 11:16:54 PM »
So.. weird thing.
Michael mentions being a Corpsman when setting Harry's arm.
However in Grave Peril (I think) he mentions that only Charity has medical training.
Now while a Corpsman wouldnt say they were a doctor. They do have medical training -thoughts?

Codex Alera Spoilers / ID'ing Furies
« on: June 24, 2017, 01:24:13 PM »
So some furies are clearly described even named while others are not.
I thought it might be fun to gather up a master reference of known fury descriptions and those they belong to, and names
Ex. Fidelias fury's his earth fury we never see nor get to know its name but the wood fury is named and takes the form of either a squirrel or rabbit-i need to check Furies of Cal. to know. feel free to include wild furies
Aria has her fire falcon.
Isana has Rill water fury that takes a human girl form.
Bernard has Brutus his earth hound but we dont see his wood fury.
