Tenebroum: A Question of Directions (Patreon)

Last night someone asked on Scribblehub, "When will the lich get his own name? (Tenebroum)." I thought this was a very good question to ask. The answer is more complicated though. 

The darkness in the swamp is still distilling into its final form. It is flawed, fragmented, and not yet a complete entity, hence why I sometimes refer to it as the wraith, and other times as the darkness or the swamp. It is a cesspool of minds, though only the most important half dozen really matter. Originally, I'd planned on giving it at name at the culmination of the second arc, but sometimes now, for reasons that will become clear in the next few chapters I consider making it a system of minds... sort of the divine version of MPD. Wouldn't that make for a fun entity. One so crazed that it wasn't even the same person from day to day. 

Anyway: I haven't decided, but welcome feedback on the subject. The options boil down to three choices:

• At the end of Arc 2 (Ch. 40-50ish)
• Sooner than that
• It never evolves strictly into a single persona, but a series of them that become more distinct as time goes on. 

I don't see that name being Tenebroum in any case. That is a word that means cut off from the light and describes the place where all this has happened as much as the people that are affected by the darkness' touch.
