Here're your questions:
1. Who, up until now, has/had been keeping the hallows safe? It was our thought that it was Circenn as we believe he had the Spear and the Sword of Light. We know he threatened Adam with it; yet in Darkfever, Mac goes with J.B. and steals the Spear. So at some point it made its way from Scotland to Ireland.
IMHO really good question. I don't think there is an answer.
2. Is there any mention of how these hallows were stolen? And, did the good guys ever have any 'unseelie' hallows in their possession for safekeeping?
Queen Abby talks about a disaster that happened in the 17th century, and 20th century. I'm not sure that we know what these disasters refer to yet, but potentially loss or theft of the Hallows might have been involved.
(3. Did the MacKeltars ever keep these things or are they just keepers of the Compact?
I'm pretty sure that the MacKeltars just kept the Compact.
(4. Was there any other clue other than at the end of "Spell" that things were amiss in the (Seelie) Fae world?
Yes. IMHO, in Immortal, there is plenty of discussion by Darroc of wanting to free the Unseelie from the prison and unleash them on the world. Darroc brings the Royal Hunters out, and we see them for the first time. Since the royal hunters only can come out of prison when Queen Abby requests, that's how Adam Black knows Darroc is plotting to overthrow the queen.

What you're saying, in response to CArol H's question about more clues that things are 'amiss' in the Seelie world, that in Dark, there was a scene in which Queen Abby called her council together because the Compact was broken. Personally, I think the presence of the cult of Draghar (however its spelled) will be important to the Fever Series, and some of the things that happened that night in London in Dark have serious repercussions for the Fever Series. As Carol H said, we don't know how The Spear got from Circenn's possession to O'Bannion's Dublin underground vault. Carol & Cheryle suggest that it has something to do with how the magic failed on that night from Dark, but I have to confess I don't think I understand that part yet. -- claudia_celestial_girl "Want to Drive?"
