ErlKing question/ PG

<< < (3/3)

Yuillegan:
Thank you Arjan, that is an excellent example of what I mean.

I mean I think on balance of probabilities, the Erlking is likely not nemfected. But it was an interesting theory. Would be a major sucked punch.

Con - Right on the money. Kings of Faerie is less of a formal position, and Faerie is a complicated place.

Kbrizzle - The Erlking isn't the consort of Titania btw.

Given how little we know of the way(s) Nemfection happens (the Athame of Crazy us out of circulation, but Nemfection is still happening), maybe the Erlking could have gotten it underwater at the big battle at the end of Cold Days.

Certainly, the Gatekeeper closely examined battle-survivora at the Outer Gates, which STRONGLY suggests heat-of-battle provides some sort of vector, or covert opportunity, or SOMETHING in Nemesis' favor...

Con:
I presume its through cuts and gashes, like any other infection. The fact that its passed through a dagger is a good hint.

Arjan:
The dagger could contain it because it is an object of power. It is a spiritual infection in the same category as demonic possession, denarian shadow or even the intrusion of a mind mage. It can enter when something other pushes it in or the victim draws it in. I think Lea got infected when she used the power of the dagger but Cat Sith got infected very quickly I think the walker just pushed it in brute force.
