If Rashid is the Gatekeeper.....
« on: August 30, 2018, 03:13:06 AM »
Who is the Keymaster?  lol...  I dunno but does anyone think that Jim got the name idea from Ghostbusters?  If so would there be a Keymaster?  Oh yeah, Dresden lol.   Without the lovemaking of course!
Stole this from Reginald because it was so well put, and is true for me as well.

Lea is good at turning people into dogs.

Just a guess but if there was a "keymaster", I think it would be Mab, Mother Winter, Titania, or Mother Summer.  It would be like needing to turn two keys to launch nukes.  Preventing any one person from being able to act, but when the two agree then they can do it.

The classic Keymaster/Gatekeeper dynamic is a sexual reference, with the female being the keeper of the gate (the womb) and the male the holder of the key (use your imagination).

Thus, unless Rashid is gay or a cross-dresser, I think 'Gatekeeper' is simply the Council's representative at the Outer Gates.

I agree that his name is probably more literal (watching the Outer Gates).  However as Jim said he loves to grab an idea and put a new coat of paint on it.  He could have taken the idea of Gatekeeper, and Keymaster and put a new spin on it.

Well, it would be the Warden yea? Look at it this way, keeper of keys is equal to gamekeeper, gamekeeper is equal to a Warden, the Warden has keys to let things out... but is it actually letting them IN at the same time? DR itself is outside of time and space after all, pocket dimension.

LoL that's funny...  Rashid is the Gatekeeper and Dresden is the Keymaster (Warden).
