== The Nameless One is a [[The Elric Saga|facet of the Eternal Champion.]] ==
The [[Planescape]] setting already features a massive conflict between [[Order Versus Chaos|Law and Chaos]] (The Blood War), and The Nameless One happens to be a tragic, [[Badass|extremely powerful individual]] condemned to fight that war for eternity (Or at least, until the Planes die off). The [[Dungeons

Less brilliant, but like a [[Doctor Who
== The Nameless One's original crime was the instigation of the Blood War. ==
A crime so massive and downright evil that the planes seem to be slowly dying of it? The Blood War fits the bill well enough. Far back in a time before even surviving myth, the original incarnation instigated the Blood War for fun, profit or an ideal, and ended up causing a tumult that would endure for millenia, killing thousands by the hour. Therefore his ultimate fate: to fight as a soldier in a war of his own making.
** The problem is that the Blood War has never had much in the way of collateral damage. It's always been contained to the lower planes, and is viewed by most everyone as a ''positive'' thing. It keeps the demons and devils occupied so they don't conquer the multiverse.
*** Yeah, the Blood War is a ''good'' thing. It keeps the demons and devils fighting each other instead of overrunning the rest of the cosmos.

== The Nameless One's sin was creating Coaxmetal ==
Because I can't think of any worse crime than creating a entity that desires to destroy all universes, and succeeding in many of its attempts. Of course, it has probably forgotten its maker, and now attributes entropy as its creator and commander.
* After more study of the Planescape setting, I shall elaborate. The Nameless One was formerly a fanatical Doomguard, and created Coaxmetal as the ultimate tool of entropy. However, he abandoned the Doomguard after realising what he had done.
== Fell was supposed to be able to join your party ==
Line 60:
* Alternatively, going by 4e [[Points of Light]] story, The Nameless One is the person who originally made contact with the Obryith lords; he was a follower of Tharizdun and established a link between his god and the original demons, which lead to the shard of evil being forced into the universe, lead to Tharizdun going mad, lead to the creation of the Abyss itself, the primeval war between law and chaos, and eventually the Blood War and now the Abyssal Plague.
== Vhailor is an homage to the [[The Wonderful Wizard of Oz
He's heartless, he used to be human, and he carries an axe.
== The ending is the beginning of the end for the Planes. ==
Line 73:
* It certainly makes sense to me. After all, how does The Nameless One gain the memory in the bronze sphere? By feeling regret. How can he take full advantage of it? By '''accepting''' the regret, accepting all the evil, all the sins, all the pain his existence has caused to the point where he can weaponize it. Honestly, if you went through all that, the only logical conclusion is that he would, upon feeling full and complete regret for all his incarnations' actions, willingly take the punishment upon himself.
