Names

"Kanishk sought to become a Name. In pursuit of that end, he made Lok Kahuli the vessel of his appetites, promising Lok that they would ascend together. At the Spider's Door, he betrayed his lover..."

The Names are entities of great power that serve the Hours. Comparable to demi-gods, some Names are the creations of the particular Hour they serve, while others are Long who have been granted great favor. Names seek to one day become Hours, and the Hours watch their Names warily for treachery. Names can be temporarily summoned to the mortal world through certain arcane rituals.
