There is a "Hell's balls, Lara" that I suspect it's a typo but I laughed at it.
Isn't it basically telepathic communication anyway? If it's Arthur, he might just come across to Harry as sounding British because Arthur is an archetypically British figure. Doesn't necessarily mean he actually speaks English with a modern British accent.
If it *is* Arthur, would that mean Demonreach is Avalon?
I don't think Inari could help it, it may even coexist when she menstruates for the first time. When she menstruates her body is able to reproduce.. Now there are a number of reasons why sex at that age may not be a good thing, but I doubt the Hunger takes that into account. Hormones start firing and in White Court vamps it triggers the seduction urge big time. The first time this happens the host is more or less at it's mercy, Lord Raith knows that, that is why he sent Inari to Harry. To seduce him, have uncontrolled sex which would lead to his death and the full awakening of her Hunger..
someone pointed out years ago now(cannot remember who) that his circle actually changes from copper to bronze and back to copper before he ever had it upgraded. So yea, something's off about that..
Doesn't the last Starborn predate Mab being in her position though? When was the Last Starborn active, about a thousand years ago? And Mab has been WQ since Hastings, was it? Which is maybe a thousand years ago, but it's also off by 5%. And that assumes that she jumps right into it immediately.

I'm pretty sure this will never make it into the actual Dresden Files, since Harry has no idea the Oblivion War is happening, along with everyone else. So I'll share it here.
The Archive was constructed /for/ the Oblivion War. Specifically.
Yes, the Archive (and Ivy, the two aren't really divisible) know about these forgotten beings. The Archive is in essence the keeper of the dead, where they are concerned. Once the archive believes one of them has been consigned to oblivion, she holds on to the memory of that being briefly, for another thousand years or so, watching for any mention of that being in print in an effort to make sure that she is the /last/ person alive who remembers whichever hideous entity has been consigned.
And once the safety period has elapsed, and the Archive is confident that no one else remembers, she deletes the memory from the Archive. Bad guy, /gone/.
She also tries to keep track of the enemy players in the Oblivion War via watching for communications and so on. When she finds a trace of them, somewhere, she lets a cell of operatives (like Lara and Thomas) know what's up, through a blind drop, and sends them off to handle the problem.
The Oblivion War is a huge, /slow/ thing. Stuff happens every few decades, at most. That's why the Archive was created--to be an immortal awareness, something that could track and intelligently direct responses to the enemy in a war happening on an almost geological scale.
All that other stuff she says the Archive is for? Smoke and mirrors.
Kincaid, by the way, has no idea that the Oblivion War exists. It isn't like Ivy explains this stuff. She just gives orders.

Nope, recent WOJ says that Ivy is the leader of the Oblivion War. She keeps track of all the names of different monsters/gods etc and if there has been no recordings of them over 1000 years she deletes the info from her internal database. She just doesn't let anyone know this about her.
You're right. The 'our' problem is really difficult. I would point that deadly plagues grow stronger near MS, and that MW says that death gives value to life, so it's not totally impossible. It's also the old Ying-Yang dichotomie after all.
And about two different names:
So I may be stretching the facts, but I'm not completely hallucinating...
The office of each of the queens is a mantle, just like the winter knight, Mab was once mortal before she ascended through a rite similar to the dark hallow as per WOJ, so, I am sure, is Mw. She is also Baba Yaga of the iron teeth and cleaver, she is also Atropos and Skuld, who was the original and what powers are innate to her? Unknown, but I think we have WOJ that the last ice age was the transition of the old Mother S to the current one, so that dates her somewhat...
Each of the immortals seem to add a mantle that has current relevance in order to maintain power in opposition to the Oblivian War. Ivy is the enemy of all of them, odd that she is a signatory to the accords...
I think he (Uriel) smiled. That usually signals approval, at least of Justine in skimpy lingerie.
1st and last sight of Murphy in GS anyone? or seeing Thomas' grief? Murphy in GP when she got psycho-wammied. Micky Malone. the ghosts at Biancas
