->You may have noticed that I am vague with the terms I use, that I neither name [[NeglectfulPrecursors the first tribe]] nor [[EldritchAbomination its patrons]]. Such omission is deliberate: certain names have the power to echo across the worlds when intoned, and there are always things [[SpeakOfTheDevil listening for those names to be spoken]]. Even knowing these names is akin to catching a disease, a kind of leprous affliction that atrophies the soul. [[BrownNote Speaking those names spreads the contagion]]. The first tribe grew strong in the flesh, but withered in spirit as they passed this ailment on to their children and grandchildren. Worse yet, [[IKnowYourTrueName by playing with these cursed names]], the first tribe made the Children more aware of the world outside of their dreams. The only thing that tethered the Children to reality was their name, and each time a name was called, that tether pulled a Child closer to wakefulness...
