I've got this sort of vague idea for an overlying campaign theme where one of the PCs (a Chaotic one) is attacked early on by a group of Arbiters. This will be a mystery to the PCs that will eventually be made clear. Somehow, this Character, according to the Inevitables, will be responsible for the end of the world.
Has anyone used Inevitables before? If so, how? Any encounter ideas, or suggestions, would be helpful.
I'd recommend putting this type of question in the advice forum.
As for information on the inevitables, if you've never read any of the planescape material, I'd recommend trying to find some on eBay, or a used bookstore.
If you aren't familiar with Planescape, it came out in the mid 90s, as a campaign setting for 2nd ed. D&D, that covered the outer planes. It went into far greater depth about the various races that were indigenous to each plane, than the current bestiaries do.
In fact, there were 3 boxed sets (they liked boxes in those days...) that came out: Planes of Law, Planes of Chaos, and Planes of Neutrality. I remember reading about the Planes of Law, and thinking they'd make for a really nerve-wracking experience for your typical smart-@$$ed, anarchist-wannabe, independent-thinking gamer.
If you could find those, as well as the original Planescape campaign setting boxed set, and/or some of the published adventure modules, they'd probably start setting off tons of adventure ideas for you.
I just woke up, and the creative juices are NOT flowing yet, so let me grab some coffee and try to come back to this, with some ideas.
I love them but have never actually used them. I devour everything I can about Modrons too, but they aren't really talked about anymore.

The most recent story line I created was a gnome engineer that was designing a method of traversing the Chaotic Neutral Maelstrom plane safely. The inevitable were keeping tabs on him, because his technology just happened to be stolen from axiomites of the lawful neutral plane. He gave a copy of his work to a trusted employee, and then disappeared from the face of Golarion. The copy provided is in the form of a puzzlebox. This happens to be a key item in my own adventure. A character could somehow stumble across the puzzlebox, and be set upon by inevitables. Inevitables are pretty tough overall.
