How the Demon Name Works
Fiends of the Lower Planes embody cosmic entropy, malice, and corruption. Whether spawned from the churning chaotic flesh of the Abyss or forged in the rigid infernal brass of the Nine Hells, a demon's name is an incantation of ruin, often spoken only in whispers by fearful mortal cultists. Demonic and Abyssal nomenclature relies on harsh, jarring phonetic collisions that sound unnatural on mortal tongues. In tabletop lore, discovering a demon's true name grants absolute occult power over the creature, making fiends guard their true designations with lethal paranoia.
