<strong>Haelen Del'Armgo</strong><br/><br/>Jevan knew the barbazu's true name? Now that was an interesting point. How had the Sorcere master learned it in the first place? Had Jevan made some deals with some other outsiders in an attempt to gain the name of this particular creature? Had he asked around simply for the true name of any barbazu? Or perhaps he had offered something so great to this creature that it had given up its own true name in exchange. Haelen wasn't sure about that though. Would a devil ever willingly give up its own true name? Perhaps if the creature thought it would be destroyed, and permanently, then Haelen could imagine a circumstance wherein a devil - or a demon, for that matter - would choose to surrender its own true name rather than be annihilated. Perhaps Jevan had gotten the name by threatening the creature? Maybe even torturing it? If that were the case though, that would have to mean that Jevan had gone to the Nine Hells to attack the creature, since he wouldn't be able to truly 'kill' it on the Prime Material Plane.<br/><br/>Then Jevan spoke of always keeping deals with summoned beings, as they did outlive even drow. It was one thing to have the potential to live for a millennium. It was quite another to be without age. To be beyond the possibility of a death by natural causes. That, and devils probably weren't particularly forgiving when it came to breaking deals. Given how long they could live for, and therefore, how long they could hold a grudge for - forever - it made sense that Jevan cautioned his students to always keep deals made with the creatures. Haelen again found himself wondering if Jevan had learned this particular creatures true name from the creature itself, or had gotten that information from another.
