Dusting off a
very old set of questions: who signs the Accords for a group or coalition like the Red Court or the White Council? If an individual signs on behalf of the whole, what happens when that individual dies or is otherwise no longer associated with that group?
Is such a signature binding in the same way as swearing on one's power is binding*, or is it merely the certainty that Mab (or whoever is enforcing that particular version of the Accords) will ensure that Accords breakers die that keeps the peace?
*Related to this, is this part of what Peabody was doing with requiring all those forms and signatures prior to TC? (I mean, on top of the whole mind-control ink.)
Other questions that might be answered, if asked:
Are the specific duties of each Sidhe Queen within her Court clearly defined or separated? If so, how are they divided?
Will Harry learn to communicate with Mouse as clearly as he was able to while transformed into a hound? Can Mouse and Mister communicate that clearly?
Does the name of each Denariian have significance w/r/t the form or powers it has when it manifests? (e.g. Lasciel shares a root with lascivious, Ursiel was bear-like....but I have yet to find a good root for e.g. Urumviel or Anduriel)
If the "-iel" is as important as implied in GS (I believe it's the "of God" part....) why have the Denariians not sought to get mortals to rename them? (And, oh dear, what did Harry do by truncating/naming Lasciel's shadow "Lash"?)
Do the Venators know about the Archive? If they do, is she a target?
Is the information that Ivy has about the Denariians largely the kind that she 'literally cannot let out of her head' or is it the kind that she chooses not to release as a sort of non-aggression pact?
When and how did Lord Raith acquire his protection?
Have we been Kenobie'd ("From a certain point of view.....") about the identity of any characters? (I very deliberately would refrain from asking "Who?"-- that would certainly not be answered.)
Just for fun, some questions that are probably not important:
Will we see more of Harry's parents?
What happened in Istanbul that Eb and Kincaid are still feuding about?
How much of the battle at CI (and its immediate aftermath) does Maggie remember?
When Eb caused the eruption of Krakatoa (or the New Madrid quake), did he supply all the power released in those events, or did he simply cause stored power to be released?
What do other wizards do for hot water? For employment/monetary support?
Who mentored/trained Carlos? Is he/she still alive?
If Odin is still kicking around and active, where are the Jotuns?
How far above (or below) a magic circle does the barrier extend? Is it a column? A dome?
Last, for discussion, there was a WoJ in response to a post by kmosiman (linked here:

Demonreach may not be friendly to humans but he is not violent to others. All the animals on the Island are welcome and make their homes there. While he may have a dark nature, nothing on the Island is corrupt or foul.
Two of these three sentences are precisely, absolutely correct. One of them is lethally half-right.
We've had relatively little new info on Demonreach since that was posted, but I'd like to formulate a question that would help nail down the little logic problem he gave us.
