[QUOTE="Sekhmet, post: 6065852, member: 97602"] @[B][I][U]Stormonu[/U][/I][/B] While a hilarious image, Pelor and Vecna being buddy-buddy, I find it innately flawed. As the God of Secrets, Vecna wouldn't be willing to give that information to any being. The only being that could grant his true name would be Vecna himself, and he would be entirely unwilling. Your second paragraph regarding true names is only half of the description of a true name. The names do not change form or appearance, just the enunciation becomes more and more complex. A mortal man - wretched and unwanted in caste, trained in magic by his witch mother (who was burned at the stake), further taught by the personification of magic on Oerth, Mok'slyk the Serpent, who becomes a lich in order to master his revenge for the death of his mother, ruler of a great emprie, resisted death by a divine power channeled through clerics of Pholtus (the God of Holy Light, unable to slay a lich!), slain by his lieutenant, the vampire Kas, by a sword crafted by Vecna himself, only to arise from death as a demigod and fight for Godhood through the Lady of Blades, who achieved Lesser Godhood for his hubris and power, would have a very complicatedly pronounced true name indeed.
