[QUOTE="Everett, post: 6437675, member: 21712"] Sagiro never went to 4e in this campaign, I believe. He finished the whole thing in 3.5. I recall Kid Cthulu saying that in 4e she wouldn't have played Ernie at all. I don't check in on Enworld much any more, so I just now saw this. I know what you [I]mean[/I]... but no, sorry, he did have a name. Dranko shouted a word: it wasn't nothing, it was something. We can certainly say that it's not a name that mortals are meant to be able to cognate, any more than you can cognate what it would be "like" if our entire universe did not exist (if there was nothing rather than something), but it's a name of some kind nonetheless. After he's dead, it goes in the hall of the tombs in Naslund with all the other True Names of the Gods (which you'll recall, the Company wasn't able to read any of by any means), even if the Adversary does not spiritually reside there, Belshikun having severed his soul. No, I follow you. The Names do not appear on the tombs so much as due to some individual inscribing them there, as due to causal laws of nature. Grant Morrison (in his book [I]Supergods[/I]) described the concept of emergence this way: the universe is the way it is because it grew that way. Simple enough. I can go with that. [/QUOTE]
