BELIEFS: This being, also known as "He-Who-Has-No-Name" is a sinister,
alien being that has slept for eons.  The Nameless One awoke at some point,
heralding the 
disappearance of the dwarven city of Vulcan (which was mining deep
within Crypt) and the descent of the old mine that is now taken over by
puddings. The mining operations disrupted the magical wards that keep the
Nameless One asleep, known as the Elder Sign. The Elder Sign was created 
by the Other Gods to keep the Nameless One slumbering for eternity.
But the Elder Sign was partially disrupted, and the Nameless One achieved 
some semblance of consciousness.

It can't get around the Elder Sign by manifesting itself, but needs to be
carried out. It has gotten around the Elder Sign by crafting itself into
Fellblades and grafting its life essence to Gifted Ones, who arguably are
choosing to sacrifice their own souls to the Nameless One rather than the
Nameless One possessing them. Thus it uses these "feelers" to gain in
power when it will be able to finally free itself. The proposed number of
total souls is 666,666,666,666,666,666.

The Nameless One is not known by many, but like Sikkar it was a creator of
beings and was worshipped at the peak of its power -- a peak which few
truly remember now. It is responsible for the creation of the Argoi, the
Puddings, the Yaag-nesh (and their servitors, the Shadows), the Myconoids,
the Bloodworms, and the Slaadi. The Vampire race is relatively recent --
they are also believed to be a "workaround" for the Nameless One to gain
power.

Barring vampires, most of the other races are alien, if not insane by
normal
standards, and have access to ancient knowledge that they occasionally
reveal in flashes of horrible plans and machinations, all ultimately to
bring back their Mad God. They believe that the Retroverse is an illusion,
and by the Nameless One's awakening, they will unveil the truth -- the
horrible truth of how the universe REALLY operates and its mind-blasting
true nature.

WORSHIPPERS:  The Nameless One supplies its followers with many tools.  The

Fallen, the most prominent and selective of the Nameless One's
minions, purportedly hold part of the Nameless One's soul in their foul
blades.
They devote themselves to sucking the life out of all beings, in an attempt
to destroy them permanently.

PRIMARY PLANET:  The Nameless One's power is strongest on Crypt.
There are many theories as to why this is the case, including 
the belief that it is the very planet that imprisons the Nameless One's
essence -- Fallen answer such questions with their blades.

AVATAR: Like Sikkar, the Nameless One has attempted to sway 
Immortals to his side in the past, offering all manner of dark desires
in return for their allegiance.  Several powerful Immortals have
seemed to take sides in the Godswar, only to ultimately server their
own side.  Many Fallen believe any Immortal taking sides with
Sikkar or the Nameless One are ultimately plants who will undermine
any efforts to free the Gods at the last moment.  No one knows for
sure, and the Immortals aren't telling
