Marcone won’t hand over the castle, but if he ends up owing Harry a favour in BG, or Mab purchases it for him then yes, Harry could end up owning it. A castle abode of the Winter Knight would help forge a connection in the Never Never to Arctis Tor, and perhaps allow Harry to forge one through the Never Never to the cottage on Demonreach, much nicer than Lea’s Murder Garden. Lea may have a green thumb, but the rest of her hands are red right up to the elbow.
Commute? To a different time zone for the single parent of a school age child? Much easier to have someone like Chandler do a daily courier run with relevant reports.
Luccio still has all her experience and knowledge, so a senior Council position is still likely.
Harry is The Warden, the Senior Council cannot take that away from him and everyone will know (Lara, Listens and Eb know at the moment), their options are have to Harry in the tent p@ssing out, or outside the tent p@ssing in. If the main surviving body of Wardens look to Harry rather than the Merlin, then Harry gets to dictate terms like he did on becoming a Warden.
His terms I think would be along the lines
1. Continues to work out of Chicago;
2. Warlocks are rehabilitated or get the Demonreach Treatment, no executions;
3.Amnesty for all Wizard level talents who have not broken the laws (Mort and Elaine);
4. He continues to work as Winter Knight on behalf of all the Accorded Nations;
5. Better treatment and recognition of the Paranetters;
6. Gets to put up a Basketball goal in his new HQ
From the short story even hand its clear that marcone is expecting to kill Harry at some point, I don't know why you believe if marcone did owe Harry a favour, even a huge favour, why marcone would give away his fortress to Harry or why he would sell it or why mab would even want to purchase it. It would put marcone at a huge disadvantage if Harry and marcone ever fought.
Why would mab or Harry want a direct connection between the castle and arctis tor? Mab can travel where ever she wants as fast as she wants and Harry doesn't need a short cut to arctis tor. Also there's no reason for a direct line to the island and Harry wouldn't have the power to do that anyway.
Maggie will be in Bording school, St Marks.
35 mins is nothing.
No its not, the senior council wouldn't even let her run the wardens by herself, they're not going to make her a senior council member when there's hundreds of other wizards who haven't been body switched or had their minds tampered with and who have all their power and skills intact
I never said the council could remove him from being the WARDEN but eb and the gatekeeper have said that the majority of council members know nothing about the island or Harry's position so they could vote him off the council, Harry being the WARDEN doesn't earn him any special previleges with the council.
Lara doesn't know, not really, Harry never explained to her what the island is and it would be a big leap for Lara to jump from the wizard just trapped my brother to that island must contain thousands of evil entities and Harry is the WARDEN of this apparent prison.
Harry never got to dictate anything when he became a warden, in peace talks he said they forced him to join, he said he'd never leave Chicago but they weren't going to move him anyway and he said that luccio refused to give him any work hunting warlocks because she knew his feelings on the matter, she could have forced the issue if she wanted, there wouldn't of been much Harry could do about it.
It wouldn't matter that much if the wardens looked to Harry, Harry would only have the support of the wardens up to a certain point, they for example, wouldn't start a civil war if Harry started making demands of the merlin and he didn't comply, the merlin has God knows how many supporters on the council and he is the most powerful wizard on earth, he'd still be the boss.
Again Harry wouldn't be able to dictate much we've seen how powerful older wizards are compared to younger ones.
