One additional thought. It occurred to me that on neither occasion when the Court was carrying out one of its bad deeds to protect itself from the Wood (Jeanne's murder and tricking Renard) did anyone (as far as we know) in the Court's faculty seem to suggest talking to the forest-folk as an option and trying diplomacy - a much better way of solving the problem, surely. Of course, I can imagine a couple of obstacles to that (Coyote's unpredictability, for example, and Diego would, as I mentioned elsewhere, certainly do all that he could to head off any proposed solution that wouldn't involve Jeanne's death, for ulterior motives).
But then I saw another reason why the Court hasn't (so far as we know) tried that solution. Jeanne pointed out in Chapter Seventeen that its faculty look down on the forest-folk as just animals. So likely they would have considered diplomacy with the forest-folk as humiliating, treating a bunch of wild beasts as "our equals". Which would make Jeanne's pointing this stance as one of the Court's faults all the more appropriate....

Sorry for breaking the srs, but is that an inertial confinement fusion setup there?

Could be. The device does look like a fusor.
