Question Mark? -> RE: Book Three Conspiracy Theories Thread (4/5/2013 19:22:10)

I actually had a conspiracy going about a year or two ago. (I got Lim on my side, while he was still a staff member, always a plus!) It went something like this: Facts: 1. The Shadowscythe in every universe stole their imagery and insignias from the same place the Order of Mysterious Necromancers stole theirs, Erebus. 2. This is due to Erebus' galavanting about the multiverse, leading to a number of factions learning of him and adopting his image as scare tactics. 3. However, Erebus' cloaked form wasn't his to start with, he found the AQ universe's mysterious stranger and took on his shape. 4. It was revealed in book one that the Mysterious Strangers orchestrated the events of that entire book, and although they controlled the Shadowscythe, they were not of them. (See above points and Mechquest) 5. The Mysterious strangers are older than Erebus, and therefore older than the Shadow Universe. They are older than the Mechquest Universe as well, and given the birth of Valoth's ancestors in Bladehaven, likely come from before that. 6. This means that while they control much of what occurs even between universes (See the Bizarre Flecks Epilogue) they are not part of any species or group. So, what are they? Well, we know that they: 1. Are composed of shadow and darkness, the stuff of the cosmic void. 2. Seek to "cleanse" the planet of life and matter. 3. Have a number of agents and avatars, are tall and slim, (the latter being an understatement) and tend to be rather affable. 4. Possess great power. 5. Create elaborate, multiverse spanning plans, using individuals, organizations, and forces ordinarily thought of as impossibly powerful as their tools. Conclusion: The Mysterious Stranger is Nyarlathotep. From their goals to their appearance to their demeanor to their inexplicability, they seem to match almost exactly. And they'll be back.
