The True Name is a name which expresses the true identity of a being, a Mystical Symbol which some say perfectly describes that being, others say serves to define it. In Sorcery, particulalrly the spellcraft of the Silurian School, a True Name serves as the ideal Arcane Link, while it also serves well in the summoning and binding of spirits such as Demons.

While there is much disagreement as to where the power of True Names is rooted, their potence is difficult to deny: the surrender oaths of the Primordials in the wake of the Primordial War were sworn upon their True Names, and bound them inescapably into Hell. Though the Yozi are no longer the Primordials they were, their very natures sometimes redefined, their oaths, and thus the power of their True Names, has remained strong.

Few understand the nature or workings of the Neverborn, but within them too the power of True Names can be seen, if only in its absence... though they subsist on the edge of existence, their Names have been lost to the Void of Oblivion. As the Abyssal Exalted have come into Creation, they have been called to give up their own names to the Neverborn, a sacrifice that surely has great mystical significance. If these names join those of the Neverborn, tossed into the maw of Oblivion, or if they are collected for some dark and terrible purpose, none can surely say.
