..None of the one word titles made it for me..to general and nonpoetic. The, a-jeroth of the 7 hells,,sounded like something I'd read on a Las Vegas billboard or marquee..and Fangthane the render,,well,,reminds me too much of the Trogs and or Sam Kinnison,,and anybody even closely related to horses shouldn't be within 10 miles of the word " render".
...Which brings me to my favorite SRD title,,other than Lord Foul,,Satansheart SoulCrusher..very poetic, alliterative,,and inclusive in what he/she/ it is,as well as what he/she/it does...and,,,add the dimension of it being a " Giantish" descrpitive,,as perceived and described by Giants,,and the " crusher" part becomes something one whinces from upon the hearing. Everytime I hear my neighbor preparing all his beer and soda cans for recycling,,part of me also hears,,the Giantish refrain; Satansheart Soulcrusher.....MEL

Corruption.....Creeping, insidious evil.

The name 'Satansheart Soulcrusher' almost makes me wonder what Satan's role plays in the Land.

Satan is not an entity of the Land, yet his name is?

Hmmm...

a-Jeroth of the Seven Hells gets my vote. Although the full 'Lord Foul The despiser runs a close second for me.
It is better to remain silent and thought a fool than to speak up and remove all doubt.

I like Lord Foul Best of all, but its not a choice, I wonder if he was called lord foul while he was on the council of lords or if it came after he was cast out and if the latter what was he called when he was on the council.

Think on that, and be dismayed

What do you do to a man who has lost everything?

as far as i can remember, it was after he was on the council, after he revealed his true colors, that he was named foul

Yes, that is the case.
And I don't recall his actual name on the council being mentioned at all in the Chronicles.

I like aTOMiC's Fan-fiction...He gave Foul the name Lord Jeroth on the Council.

a-Jeroth is the one that sounds like a cool title... like "Lord Foul, a-Jeroth of the Seven Hells."
