Conspiracy Theorist:
Christ was a man, the White God left part of himself open to infection, and why else have such articles used in a ritual?

The fact that the nails were angels themselves, makes me think this, I thought originally that the nails and the swords had been created by the ritual and that was it’s purpose, but the nails were already powered up, so what was the purpose?

Given the White God is an intellectus the infection and cure may have been deliberate to get information on Nemesis and the Outsiders, and figure out a cure I doubt any intellectus includes knowledge of what is happening beyond the outer gates. If Lucifer were patient zero for Nemesis then the object is to eventually cure him. Archangels are ON their guard NOW and can’t be Nemfected, but if Lucifer let Nemesis IN that is a different matter.

This may be what Nicky was after in the heist, why he has concerns about the Black Council and Nemesis. The Fall may have been perpetuated by a Nemfected Archangel, other Fallen believed Lucifer in the same way people believed Maeve. This could be Anduriels redemption arc.

The_Sibelis:
I remember it being suggested the placard could help find true names.
And interestingly, though angels are immune to Nemesis, which to me suggests a parallel position in power, they are NOT immune to Harry renaming things.

Conspiracy Theorist:
If angels were immune you would’t Have Hellfire at Arctis Tor. Archangels may be protected against Nemesis now they know what it is, but could the Crucifixtion been to develop an angelic vaccine against Nemesis? For the White God, Archangels, Angels and perhaps Starborn? It would explain Mr Sunshines interest in Harry.

The much less powerful Mab can cure an infection in a single case but not innoculate the Winter Court, nor cure her own daughter

it's Implied by Nick they're a traitor, not nemfected. An you have to want to be cured, Maeve didn't.
Prerty sure the interest in starborn from the good guys is you can hold a mantle and since it's still your consciousness the mantle is immune by proxy.
*Angels being immune is a Woj btw, they're too complete or whole or something, I forget the exact word.

--- Quote from: Conspiracy Theorist on July 31, 2020, 03:30:40 AM ---It’s a placard, placards are used to communicate things such as “Jesus Christ, King of the Jews” and all mortal communications are down.

...

That leaves the placard, all we know is that it announced a message the world over which has held for two millennia, sweeping away worship of a host of other gods. Not powerful at all.

--- End quote ---

Except that the message which swept the world wasn't "Jesus of Nazareth is the King of the Jews" -- heck, that message didn't even sweep Judaism. The message that swept the world was the Good News of the resurrection -- which happened days after the last mention of the placard in the Bible.

I've been thinking the Placard is about names or mantles -- like maybe if you stuck the placard on the back of Vadderung's seat and wrote Kris Kringle on it, it would force him to switch mantles. Or maybe if you write a True Name on it, it's a much more powerful version of Harry speaking Toot-Toot's name to summon him (or Mab's, or the Erlking's...)

If it were the latter, though, I'd expect him to set up shop on the Island and try to use the placard to summon Ethniu. He could end the battle before she even gets to Chicago with her army.
