DF Reference Collection / Re: [Spoilers for all books] Theories index
« on: January 16, 2013, 02:24:38 AM »
The following Theories/WAGs are listed in this thread http://www.jimbutcheronline.com/bb/index.php/topic,36403.0.html

Don't know if they are good enough for inclusion but here is the run down.

1. Lord Raith planned on having a second child with Margaret, one born to have power over Outsiders.
2. Lord Raith planned on using a young Thomas as a sacrifice in a type of Accession ritual that would have made the child even more powerful.
3. Lord Raith knew Margaret was pregnant and aimed his Entropy Curse, not at her but at the baby so he could get her back.
4. Margaret found out about Lard Raith's Curse, that it would hit at Midnight of October 31st.
5. Margaret induced labor early using magic.
6. Margaret deflected the Curse from the baby to herself.
7. With Margret's death, LR gave up on the idea of using Thomas as a sacrifice, until BR.
8. Lord Raith believed both the child and the mother had died.
9. Cowl was one of Maggie's circle, traveling with her into the NeverNever.
10. While a 'Good' man produces a Starborn to oppose the Outsiders, a 'Bad' man can father a Starborn who would be a leader of the Outsiders, a link between worlds who would help them.

Yes.

Can I still suggest my own theories for consideration?

Yeah, but if you go any earlier than 1975, you get into another small problem: David Copperfield wouldn't have had his stage name yet.
Though maybe Jim hadn't quite thought that one through? :-\

If Malcolm met David before Harry was born, it is even possible that Malcolm suggested the stage name Copperfield to him.  So he knew ahead of time what stage name DC was going to use when he was ready.

Do new theories get considered for addition to this reference?

How about Joe Manganiello to play Harry?

I find this idea very interesting.

My suggestion is that IF Harry really is doing this, then maybe it's a form of Astral Projection. His physical body stays in place, but his soul/spirit makes a time travel trip back to speak with his younger self at various critical moments.

How? Well, GS showed how. When he was in his 'Coma' his soul traveled out like a ghost. Perhaps he learned that this was something he could do voluntarily, using magic. All he would need is a focus, a link back to his younger self, a kind of temporal Thaumaturgy.

Something that has been bugging me and I haven't seen it discussed much since Ghost Story:

Are we supposed to have figured out who said, "Hush now" and was it in response to the "Die alone!" death curse?

I would also like to hear other people's ideas on this.  I remember possibilities being: Harry's mother, Lash, Mab, & Leah.  For some reason I'm leaning toward Lash.

My vote is for Mab as she was rescuing him from the water.

because the amntle, i think,  is very much like the shadow. it can be reisisted, if you choose to. but non one ever said it was easy; and since its much stronger then the fallen (the queens at least) it would take a truly immense will to resist it for years..much less millenia

Like Mab's

when it comes to implacable will or super human intellignece, summer just ahsnt impressed me that much, yet.

This talk of mantles makes me think of the White Court's Hunger Demon.  Different mechanism, similar process and outcome.

From what I understand, if this "Predator Spirit" in half-Reds were the same as being a full Red, then Susan or Martian could have been sacrificed anytime.

The Sacrifice only worked because Susan fed her RC Vampire and let it take over. 'Susan' died as soon as she fed, and a brand new RC Vampire was born. At that moment of birth, she became the youngest Rampire and could affect all others.

There is no evidence that the RC's Predator Spirit infection that turns a human into a Rampire can be passed down any other way except from a RC Noble (the process of doing so isn't entirely clear). 

It is unlikely that Maggie would have inherited any of that RC Infection, if she had her first foster family would have all been dead soon after they took her in. A child would not have been able to control that. Also, when the Rampires were all killed off, it also wiped out the 'Infection' that made Half-Reds. Even if Maggie had any of that 'Infection', it would have been wiped away once Susan died.

It's a very difficult problem. Scientists spent hundreds of years trying to solve it, so we are not going to find a perfect solution anyway.

 The problem is that many theories fit the same lifecycle: they start as a single sentence in a thread, then there are many discussion threads of increasingly high quality, then comes a discussion which is so good that all the info on the subject is gathered, then comes a reference thread which wrap-up everything in a single post. For the Blackstaff, the entire cycle took less than three weeks. Who should we credit?

I credited no one, as you can see, for the most basic assumption (Blackstaff is MW's walking stick), but I gave credit for derivative theories (MW is Death, Blackstaff=raven Banner). That's a very subjective process, any idea on how to improve it is welcome.

My ego isn't so great that I would need to have my name attached to a theory.  If others feel the same way it might be best to not use names but keep links to the most relevant discussions on it.

I'm still new here, so if any of them don't qualify I'll let the experts judge. It's fine with me. Just thought I'd try to contribute any way I could.

Thx for helping. The truth is that no one on those board can tell with certitude the origine of every single theory.

1 and 4 are new, 3 was popular after Kincaid's remark in Blood Rites (Ms Duck may have been one of its advocate), never heard of 2, could you give a link?

2 is brand new, just thought of it so there is no link.  Thomas said to Bob in Backup that he might get a bullet in the head if the other Venatori found out he was telling Bob about the war. Made sense to me that Kincaid would be the one sent out to deliver that bullet,

some of those are hard to define as 'your theories'

My Theories:

1. Demonreach made Harry Warden because he is a Blood Relation to Merlin

Support for Harry is a Blood descendent of Merlin

2. Kincaid is the Venatori enforcer

3. All Wizards have Fae blood in the family history

4. All Sidhe Royalty have to be related to Humans
Relationship between Sidhe Royalty/Wizards/Humans

BAMF!
karrin hit rock bottom on the scale of sword welder to punisher. she was wicked like. of course you have to fall to pick yourself up. i feel karrin appeared in harry's sight as a fallen angel because every little girl is daddy's angel. his 'suicide' began her decent but she clung to her job and the redemption it offered before. without it she dropped like a stone. i think her bizarre behavior in CD is simply a rekindling of faith that will resolve when she finds out what really happened. this may involve mort as he said they speak. also notice her dad works for uriel, this implies his death was particularly unbalanced somehow. (woj practically confirms it was just assumed a suicide)
this is one theory i know is originated with me. others were paralleled in like minded geniuses 8)

You need to state it as one sentence, as per the op instructions.
