“All of Winter” in Proven Guilty
« on: January 16, 2025, 03:32:13 PM »
We now know that Winter bears the burden of Defending the “Outer Gates”.  When Harry cast fire into the Winter Wellspring and “all of Winter” came to slay Harry or drive him out… what happened at the Gates.  Surely that couldn’t have been “all of Winter” or the Gates and walls would have fallen. 

Right?

When Harry said/thought that he had no idea of how many warriors winter had ( See section of ???? - I can't think of which book - where mother winter takes him to the outer gates and he sees just how many warriors winter has). He thought he'd called up all of them, but he probably didn't get more than a few percent of the available warriors.

That was Cold Days, and it was Mother Summer who took Harry to the Outer Gates.  The only experience he had before seeing any of Winter's army was in Summer Knight.  One would think that while most of Winter's forces would be at the Gates, there would still be at least a couple of brigades in and around the Court in case Mab needs them.  And in Battle Ground both Mab and Molly were in Chicago fighting, can't remember if they brought troops with them or not, but even so both the Winter Queen and the Lady were in Chicago while supposedly the Gates were under siege with only Rashid to lead the Winter Army, unless there were some other of Winter's generals.
