True Name (weapon)

True Name (weapon)
Basic Information
Creation
Creator(s)	When two devils enter a deal with one another
Description
Materials	Brimstone and obsidian

When one acquired the weapon, they had to whisper their true name onto it. The name then seared across the weapon in runes, then it faded.

If the user found the weapon's original name, they would then be able to learn the true names of many fiends who once whispered their own name in order to attune to the weapon.

Description

Ornately decorated with elegant details in brimstone and obsidian. It smells of iron and incense.

Quotes

The weapon known as True Name is inseparable from the history of the Seven Cities. Whenever two devils entered into a deal with one another, the offeree of the contract would seal their true name into its ornamentations, then the blade would remain in the possession of the offerer. Should the offeree fail to uphold their end of the contract, the offerer would magically learn the name from the blade, thus gaining power over they who betrayed the sacred pact.

Is there, thus, any blade with more potential? It is written that if an infernal soul could discover the true name of the weapon itself, they could draw from it every name sworn to it since the blade’s creation. Imagine the power that individual would have over the Seven Cities. Imagine the proud devils who could do naught but fall to their knees.

I have sought the blade’s name for centuries. With luck, when I find it, its bearer will not know the power they wield, and it will be mine.
