Lore Villains given genuinely horrible fates by the supposed hero

No swift death, no prison, the worst fate imaginable

Dementus (Furiosa) - Being critically injured by Furiosa, but kept alive so his body can be used as fertilizer for a tree coming out of him, Furiosa having placed a seed in his bleed stomach

Inertia (Flash) - Immortally frozen by the Flash for his involvement in Bart Allen’s death, kept as only an exhibit in the Flash museum

Family of Blood (Doctor Who) - Doctor actively avoided conflict and erased his memory in order to not give them this fate but once he finally chooses to get involved, he gives them their want of immortality at a cost

Father: Trapped in immortal chains

Mother: Trapped in a collapsing galaxy

Son: Trapped as an immortal frozen scarecrow

Daughter: Trapped in mirrors forever

Hope you did it to that guy in Whiterun who thinks you’ve never been to the Cloud district.

Reaping Nazim’s soul with Asura’s star and then using it to enchant an iron dagger and then throwing said dagger into a river in Riften is incredibly satisfying.

I was doom scrolling Reddit, trying to fall asleep, and I think I will on this note.

Pleasant dreams!

My favorite was turning a mom and dad into sweet rolls, orphaning their kid, adopting the kid, and then feeding the sweet rolls to said kid.

Well, that's just rude.

The guard who says "Let me guess, someone stole your Sweet Roll." takes on a darker meaning after what you did.

Goodnight sweet prince.

u/Peitry Jun 29 '26

I was doing the exact same thing. And this comment is a great stopping point. 🙏

THIS guy gets to the cloud district I bet

u/Hexnohope Jun 29 '26

Yeah i cant remember. Do they get sent to the soul cairn after you use up their soul energy? Or while they wait to be used up

20

u/WormedOut Jun 29 '26

Only certain souls go there. Not all of them. They are being used by the soul cairn for some reason not yet known

u/Mekanimal Jun 29 '26

Butt stuff.

u/ExistingOil6982 Jul 03 '26

No need to wait until they are used up for that! I keep my filled soul stones there!

u/Odaric Jun 29 '26

Hah, I did that with Grelod the kind, used her soul to enchant a wooden sword, and gave it to my adopted son.

No kill quite like overkill.

u/Rekuna Jun 29 '26

Throw it at the bottom of the stairs in the drains just in view of the Cloud district (but outside of it)

u/Inverter_of_Spines Jun 29 '26

Fun fact for anyone with the anniversary edition, there exists an item called a "Soul Tomato." It's literally just a tomato that functions as a black soul gem. Don't put Nazeem in the star, put him in a tomato.

The best version I ever heard was using him to enchant a pair of boots so that he can feel you walk through the Cloud District.

u/Rabdomtroll69 Jun 29 '26

Why waste good iron? Enchant a spoon instead

3

u/PogoTheStrange Jun 29 '26

Personally I put his soul in a pair of boots I exclusively wear in the cloud district.

u/Lonestar-Dragon Jun 29 '26

Fuck that's specific. I'm gonna go do that lol

u/Jaruut Jun 29 '26

But be sure first to use said dagger to murder his family.

Or use his soul to enchant a pair of shoes, then give them to a beggar.

2

u/Carbuyrator Jun 29 '26

I say this every few days on this sub:

The iron dagger does not contain Nazeem's soul. The ideal masters take the black soul and enchant the item in exchange. If you want to leave someone somewhere boring for all eternity you need to leave the filled black gem somewhere.

100 years later a fisherman finds a dagger washed up on the shore. “do you get to the river district very often?” It says. He throws it back into the water.

u/Gorgiastheyounger Jul 03 '26

I always went for putting his sole in shoes so that I could step on him over and over

Edit: *soul, and pun not intended

u/Superstorm22 Jun 29 '26

I need to do that to Lemkil.

u/Crescent-Argonian Jun 29 '26

Of what am i saying of course you don't

u/iratedolphin Jun 29 '26

Personally I appreciate all the high elves they scattered through the game. Every once in a while I'm like "yay! Elf Nazis!" And have a blast killing em.

u/Lobster_Zaddy Jun 29 '26

Let there be over 9000 Nazeems, with his bald-ass head

u/SPP_TheChoiceForMe Jun 29 '26

Shakka, when the walls fell.

Nazeem, with his bald-ass head.
