The Power of True Names.

The Seven, gods of the realm and the seven aspects of reality, Have granted their creations Names. These Names allow the Seven to exert power over their creations. As all things came into existence, the deity who created it gave it, its Name. These True Names allow The Seven to control and even manifest new forms of theses things. The Power of True Names is the ultimate law in all of existence and this is the reason The Seven hide their names from all other beings.
