I know Orcus has seen a lot of topics but I was wondering what the Last Word is I recal it being mentioned somewhere it being some ancient power he used to kill gods. Is it true?

Yes the Last Word can be used to kill gods. Most of the info, er well okay all of the info, on it can be found in the Planescape module called Dead Gods.

What it is? I don't think, or maybe I'm misremembering, we were ever given a specific answer.

For some of us, books are as important as almost anything else on earth. What a miracle it is that out of these small, flat, rigid squares of paper unfolds world after world, worlds that sing to you, comfort and quiet and excite you... Books are full of the things that you don't get in real life - wonderful, lyrical language, for instance, right off the bat. - Anne Lamott, Bird by Bird

Kill gods? Wow, I've never heard of this "Last Word". Is it an artifact or spell of some kind?

BTW, is Orcus still able to use this ancient power since he is not considered a deity anymore?

No he lost the power when he died as Tenebrous. It killed him because he didn't gain enough of his deity energy back when he was the undead Tenebrous, since only deities can really withstand the power of the Last Word if they hold that power within them.

Hmmm... so does any other deity have the power of the Last Word.

Also, has the Last Word ever been use in Faerun's history?
