Namer — a hidden tradition —
More than anyone, namers know there is great power in names, power that gives them ultimate authority over the being or thing named. Some began their careers as scholars, researchers into forbidden things, while others happened upon these words of power, discovering the secret language of the cosmos. The ones who turn their attentions fully to the apprehension and mastery of names become namers, masters of the lexicon.
