5.  Where is the Athame?
Didn't Mab give it back to Lea after she cured her?

8.  Is the Chicago Arcane still being published?
Probably yes - Harry mentions Susan's replacement in PG.

11. Can a female Wampire give birth?
Yes - we have evidence in White Night. "Cesarina Malvora" is young Vitto's mom.


12. Is there a basement lab in the new building where the Chicago Justice League meets?

There very probably is a basement - such things are usually kept when building new structures, unless you need to fill it in for structural purposes.  It probably no longer functions as a magic lab though.  That said, if there *was* a lab in the building, you'd probably either want it on the top floor (in case anything goes boom), or deep underground (in case anything goes boom).

13. How many members of the White Council are there?

Low thousands.

There is no official number, but we can get a bunch of estimates based off of a number of sources in the books.
- Number of people you can cram into the convention room in SK.
- 200 Wardens * "only about 1 in 5 have combat magic affinity to begin with".
- 1 Council-class wizard in Chicago (around 1 in 3,000,000 mortals) = 2300 Council-class wizards worldwide.

- 1 Council-class wizard in Chicago (around 1 in 3,000,000 mortals) = 2300 Council-class wizards worldwide.

as to the number of wardens, they lost around 3/4 durring the war,

Also there are atleast 2 council class wizards in chicago, Harry, and his apprentance Molly, not counting all the council class wizards that harry smoked in chicago through out the years, (victor sells, and the shadow man for instance) plus there is the possibility of the children of members of the ordo that may have the talent to become wizards, and just havn't manifested it yet. most of the ordo kids we saw were VERY young when we saw them.

Also what if Harry is wrong when he sais that most wizarding ability is inherated Maternally, we have no Idea who his grand mother is, could be she wasn't a wizard or a middleing practioner at all but just a mere mortal. before he could find out from his grandfather, he kind of got SHOT IN THE CHEST. and if this is the case, maybe baby maggie will become a council class wizard.

also with the athama knnn, I doubt that she gave the athama back to Lea, because it was causing lea to have too much power. I am not sure I am rembering this correctally, I dont want to look it up, but I want to say that Lea as powerful as she was already, when she got the athama, she increased in power to almost that of Mab herself, and somewhere it sais that Lea is second in power only to Mab. which to me means that she is even more powerful then the winter lady, however I am inclined to believe that the mothers are even MORE powerful then the queens, but they are bound in some way to not use it as they can

Isn't there a WoJ that the grandmother was just human nothing special?

Harry doesn't wear a hat or even have one I believe.

Harry has, and has worn, a black baseball cap with coca-cola written in red letters on it.

Seeing as I am a lurker deluxe and hardly never ever post anything I'll probably get this wrong so I ask forgiveness in advance... Toward the beginning of this string a few years ago it was asked how many people Harry had Soul gazed with. I'm pretty sure one was missed. The Leader of the Streetwolves from Fool Moon.

Now then...if that was already stated and I missed it completely I humbly apologize and retreat once more into the shadows.

You are correct.  :D   I just finished re-reading FM...and on page 98, I think it is, Harry did soulgaze Peter, the leader of the Streetwolves.

There are a couple more trivia questions here (blatant self-plugging):

It's in the fourth section.

Do we know what Harry's eye color is?  I was discussing this with someone the other day, as they thought he had green eyes (like Harry Potter) while I had the impression that they were brown or blue.  Then I realized that I didn't really know for sure, and started to wonder if it had even been mentioned.

All I can remember is a reference "I always thought I had my fathers eyes" but assumed that was a tongue in cheek reference to Potterverse. Might have to ask the mods unless somebody can remember the colour of his father's eyes.

Judging by the comic, they're brown.
Currently dealing with a backlog of games.

If you want me to type up a book quote or find a WoJ quote, send me a PM.

I'm new to the board and not sure how to do this. The following spoiler is from Ghost Story.

Umm, I could be wrong here, and I hate to necro the post (I seem to have developed a bad habit of doing that...), but I think that by the end of Dead Beat/the beginning of Proven Guilty there are only 3 regional commanders, (one of them is presumed to be dead, due to the Red Court offensives) including Harry and Ramirez.
im gonna do the same thing, doesn't harry say at one point he has 4 wardens under him, but they are to young for him to use?
