About / Details

 * When the Law is defied, the power, or Mantle, is stripped away.

Winter Law on Prisoners
The Winter Law on Prisoners is similar to Guest Law.

When a Faerie is offered prisoner status and it's accepted—Winter Law invoked—that means that the prisoner can't try to escape or resist. The captor must care for the prisoner's needs, can’t kill or beat him or make him betray previous covenants, he’s guest by law. The prisoner is really a vassal for the captor to do with what he pleases if he is not starved or made to be an oath-breaker. If the Prisoner's liege wants him back, he must pay.

In Cold Days:
 * When Captain Hook tried to escape, Toot-toot stopped him and invoked Winter Law as a prisoner when it looked like Toot would beat him. That essentially made Hook a vassal to Harry.


 * When Harry attempted to defy Winter Law, the Winter Knight's Mantle went away and he lost the use of his and felt great pain. His worst fears came true and he realized that he had better learn Winter Law fast. The mantle came back and his health restored. Harry tried to ask Toot how he could learn Winter Law and Toot was perplexed by the question. Toot said: "You don't learn it, you know it. Everyone knows it."
