So, in a lot of mythology, the 'power of the name' applies to them. Meaning if you know the True Name of a creature you have complete control over them. Does this also apply to the world of Runeterra? I mean, there are demons in Runeterra, but if you know their true name, could you control them like in other mythologies? It could also be applied to powerful magic users too, not just like demons. Just curious.
There is no info about that.
The only assured demonic entities are thre Darkins and (unless he is part of them too) Tahm Kench. Nor him or Aatrox have revealed their names to any1 in their Lore, not specifically for that reason but surely keeping your name/identity hidden serves the purpose of subtitely.
As far as I'm aware, the darkin are like youkai. They're objects that gained sentience over time.
Not sure how this thread came into an argument about Darkin, I was just asking if the "Power of the Name" applies to powerful beings like demons, ancient Warlock/Witches, or Darkin. You know, like knowing the true name of something is forced into absolute obedience by whomever knows their true name. Since we're on the subject of Aatrox and Tahm Kench, we don't know if that's their true name (in the case of Tahm, it is confirmed not to be, as they say he 'doesn't have a name'), but whether or not they have a 'true name.' I mean, I like the idea of the power of the name since it's a reoccurring thing through all sorts of mythology or stories :<.
I enjoy listening to debates about this kind of stuff, so I'm dragging this back up from the graves, sorry guys!
Overall I really wonder whats tahm kenchs true form/name. It is implied that his ingame form is the form he took specificially for the gambler and that his name also comes from said gambler,meaning that he has many forms and names,but how does his original one look like?
Would be also really cool if tahms skins are based around his different appearances throughout time.
