Names are powerful things.
They are a connection to an individual, a thing, a place, a group... Everything and anything possessed a name.
In the world of the occult, names carry the power and essence of a person, being or entity. This is especially true for 'True Names'

However, not all things could have their True Names spoken.
Unholy beings that breathe madness and chaos. Even the mere utterance of their names would be enough to curse a soul for eternity and make a sorcerer's brain implode, grey matter and cerebral juices spilling from his ears.
This was what made the scroll so dangerous.
The name written within it was not a mere name.
It was a True Name.
The True Name of this ancient Abyssal creature.
Richard had not dared to read it aloud, not even in a whisper. Not even in his mind.
