Unsolved Mysteries Version II

[cass]

....

I think Tolkien being important in-universe is unlikely, since the previous Summer Knight's name, Ronald, Reuel, was a shout out to Tolkien.  As for Sanya, I just put that down to vague heavenly interference- was there something unusual about his showing up?

...

I didn't mean that Tolkien was pointed at a target, but that he was semi-clued and wrote what he knew. Y'know, grumpy wizards using staffs, the existence of something called the White Council.  Nothing of particular significance to DV continuity.

As for Sanya, I find it interesting that he showed up right when Harry was going to need him. And the Knights can't respond to every kidnapping. Or even every kidnapping by the Rampires-- so why did Sanya respond to this one (and respond by going to Chicago, and not to Maggie?  How did he know that this particular kidnapped child had a parent there?)  If it's Heavenly meddling, why are they using Sanya to meddle?

I thought he was there to help the fire and then agreed to help harry.

another note I do remember malcolm being described as tall

[Serack]

Actually, Malcolm is described as being tall, I can't find the quote right now though.

Wasn't the description of Maggie's portrate in Lord Raithe's studdy that she was a tall woman?

Ninja Edit: Found this from his Soul Gaze with Thomas:

"She was a tall woman, nearly six feet, and that was in flat sandals."

Ninja edit #2: Here's the passage where Malcom Dresden is called tall.  There is a WoJ somewhere dealing with Harry's characterization of a tall man somewhere that I will try to dig up later.

Malcom Dresden was a Tall, Spare man with dark hair and steady blue eyes.

Well that's that one out the window, like I said just a silly thought anyway. 

[Serack]

And for the sake of throughness:

To clarify. 

1) Thomas is barely anything at all under six feet high, when he isn't wearing shoes.

2) He has "natural" blue eyes when he isn't hungry.  They get paler and paler, based on how much he needs/wants to feed.

3) Harry, being freakishly tall, mostly drops people into "much shorter than me" or "a little shorter than me" categories.

4) Avatars!  Nifty!

5-10) Jim is humanly flawed.

  I think that Cowl and Kumori are faeries. They did ask thrice for the book.

[wardenferry419]

  Could Mac be a dragon?

[wardenferry419]

 I think that Harry's father saved his mother with love. Before him, she was a troubled person. With him, she found love and redemption. Kinda corny, but, it might work.

[wardenferry419]

 The same person that killed Malcolm taught sells that curse. Malcolm was the rough draft and the lovers were the finished work. Sound good? Cowl and Kumori were at the party "sowing seeds of discontent." Harry born on Halloween, that has to have some kinda significance. Maybe Fix shot Harry, he is the Summer Knight and he knows that he can't handle Harry in fair fight. Could Harry's headaches be the remnants of Lash or Lasciel? Mouse chose Harry because he sensed a good soul that needed a hand. No wonder the dog acts and talks like Harry. He sensed a place of personal importance like Mac's bar.  An idea, the Black Council or Circle want to return the Outsiders to the world in order to create a do-over. Harry has power against the Outsiders, so the Circle wants Harry out of the way. Gate-keeper helps Harry because he recognizes Harry's potential.

In Grave Peril at the graveyard scene, and at the beginning of Summer Knight when Harry met Mab, it was hammered home that Fae can't really work their magic on you unless they already have a handle on you.

[MrWiggles]

Where can I read more about the The Warden? From what I know, he was suppose to be the original warden for WH. Is there more info then that?

[parthagenon]

There's a WOJ about it that implies that the Warden was once a singular office somehow connected to Demonreach.  I can't find it now, perhaps Serack can get it for you?

Both bolded words are words I search for rather frequently to see if anyone needs help finding a WoJ 

2009 Independence signing:
Q:  Can the skinwalker access the NeverNever and use the Ways?  If so, why didn’t it?
A:  Yes.  All I'll say now is that it's important to know that ‘wardens’ wasn’t always plural.  (He did add later that there are certain places it can’t cross over, like the island).

[wardenferry419]

 Okay, they might not be faeries; but, I still think that they are associated with the faeries.  Their power signature was not the greasy, evil feel of others. Perhaps, it felt more natural or familiar to Harry.

[Magnus]

In Grave Peril at the graveyard scene, and at the beginning of Summer Knight when Harry met Mab, it was hammered home that Fae can't really work their magic on you unless they already have a handle on you.

I thought that was that they couldn't kill you unless they already had a handle on you. They are allowed to mess in other ways though.
Or am I wrong?
