DF Spoilers / Re: Christmas Eve story - Huge question

I think this is a good catch. I think the mothers are even more tightly bound by the rules than the other queens. The more power one has, the more limitations there are. See Angels & free will. In Cold days Harry hurt Mother Winter when he summoned her and she balanced the scales immediately by almost killing him. Given that, I think that Mother winter would definitely owe Harry a gift and I agree with those who shudder at what it could be. This would be a great question for Jim at his next live appearance.

Great summary KSG. I think you caught all of the relevant stuff. Search Westercon + Butcher if you want to see Priscelles videos ( P1 and P2 )

Well I don't know if this is a good thing or bad, but it looks like updates are coming more than quarterly...
From the Upcoming works page:
As of December 17th, 2018 the current draft of the novel is up to chapter 38. Progress!
I think our man has found his writing room conducive.

I would ask how his house situation is working out. That's my passive-aggressive way to get a hint on when PeaceTalks will be coming.

Great timing on this. Is there already a thread on who the "Brit" in demonreach is? One that lists out the WAG's that have been made? Because we know 2 things from WOJ: It is not merlin, and someone has already guessed it online. Seems like it might be worth it to get a list and take a poll.

First, thanks Serack for the WOJ.
Lawgiver, I like this, and looking at it again, just in terms of language and punctuation, it seems that DR was addressing Harry as "Warden", then giving him information, "things are getting interesting around here". This works a lot better for me.

Chapter 17 of Cold Days begins like this:
“I don’t guess this job pays anything, does it?” I asked. The spirit just regarded me. “Didn’t think so,” I said. “So . . . when you call me Warden, you’re speaking literally.” “INDEED.”
Baring seeing the WOJ that Second Aristh is talking about, ( Any help here Serack? ) I have to stick to my guns and say there are multiple wardens and Harry is just one of them. Harry had to stand tall in front of DR and bloody his nose to invoke the site as a sanctum. I can't see some Joe Blow warden just getting "sworn in" to the job.
Also, given all the theories about the origin of the well, such as angelic grace being needed to create this prison, why do the wardens have to be human? By the description of what's in there, in my opinion, some of the things would surpass a even the most powerful mortal's abilities. So maybe the question is not who are the other wardens? But WHAT are the other wardens that they could imprison these crazy badass entities?

Page 154 on my kindle version. It's right as Harry is finishing his first descent into the well with Bob.

DF Reference Collection / Current DR wardens
« on: March 21, 2016, 07:07:22 PM »
So I was reading GroinKick's thread on previous wardens ( http://www.jimbutcheronline.com/bb/index.php/topic,47345.0.html ) and remembered this from Cold Days:
“Hey, how come you called me Warden?” I asked. “I mean, I’ve been a Warden, but there are a lot of other guys who are better at it than me. I’m not exactly the poster child.” “WARDEN,” Demonreach said. “NOW THERE ARE MANY. FIRST THERE WAS ONE.”
Who are these people?! Don't they care that there's a noob on the island?
Why doesn't Harry ask who they are? He's creating a sanctuary for himself, shouldn't he care about who has keys to it? He doesn't mention anything about it in Skin Game in his, "After the year I've had here, I could stop that Outsider incursion of last year before my morning coffee" bit.
If Eb, the GateKeeper, and Listens all know about this, and i think they do because they all kind of react the same way, then i think it's possible that they could be wardens and were letting the Noob do a trial by fire with the whole Outsiders' incursion. Risky & frightening, but a true test of a warden. Or, and this to me is even scarier, Eb, the GateKeeper and Listens aren't wardens and just know about the nature of the island. Then if there are other wardens besides Harry, they either don't care about their responibilities, or have grown so much that they think that DR and the inherent risks are beneath their concern.
