"Thou Shalt Not Open the Outer Gates"

[Regenbogen]

Has this been WoJ'ed?  I thought it was only a fantheory.

It was in Cold Days, when Harry visited the Gates, I think. Can't look it up right now, but I believe Harry saw Rashid's eye and noticed the similarity to the material the Gates are made from.

I looked around me. Yes, definitely. The other eye had been replaced with the crystalline material that was identical to that which had been used to create the gates and the walls around them.

I suspect that's as close as you'll get to truth unless Butcher drops his drawers and has the answer tattooed on one cheek. The Outer Gates are the sonic screwdrivers of the Dresden Files.

I don't think he is. Remember, at the end of the conversation, the Gatekeeper says something to the effect of, the Council only knows what it has to about our jobs. Meaning that only Harry knows the full extent of his job (if that). Yes, the senior council probably knows something about his job (but not the fullness of it), but they could also believe one thing and in reality, he does something very different.

Not unlike Eb, who knows what he does outside of the Senior Council?

Thank you for providing the cite!  Agreed -- that seems clear... crystal clear.

Oh, come on now -.-

[Conspiracy Theorist]

I can certainly see eye to eye with the citation.

Just roll with the punches, my friend!

[Conspiracy Theorist]

One in the eye FCrate.

I think he's just walling off the experience.

It's making me wish that Bill Gates had added a pun filter to windows firewall.

I mean, lowering your firewall WOULD let Outsiders in and render your PC into a condition not unlike an Empty Night.

Yes, that is pretty much confirmed by the fact that Rashid "x-rays" every soldier with his eye as they return through the Gates after a skirmish. Either he misses one now and again, which I doubt, or Nemesis gets in our world another way, which it does.  It relies on mortals who are willing to summon it knowingly or unknowingly with they play with the dark arts.
