Consider the following:
There are 42 different street sweepers in the underworld. They have similar
names, although each has a different ("true") name.
One of them, named Moloch, is actually the supreme ruler of the underworld.
Uttering the ruler's name invokes a powerful curse on the hapless character
(let's say a sure destruction within the next 2 game hours).
The existence of the curse, and the fact that it is non revokable, is well
known.
As a "safety", the ruler will change it's name after it has been uttered 7
times.
