Among the diverse realms that battle and bounce off Chaos is a section of porous realms called the '''''Lands of Flux and Shadow'''''.  Millions of worlds at various levels of technology and sophistication have interlocking paths and communication.  Intershadow Commerce, tourism, and warfare are common.  In amongst these shadows is the collection of realms called the '''''Dufirtrusa'''''.  It is a series of diversely interlocking realms of beings able to channel great powers of shadow and the elements.  In their own realms they live in various manners as delights their kind.  And their delights vary from perverse to sublime.

Each Dufiro has true name.  From the youngest of elemental to the most ancient of Masoja they all have a name of power by which they can be summoned, called, and bound.    These names and the rituals to summon them are written into intrinsically non-magical tomes.  Since the increase of power and prestige is based on experience the Dufiro desire to be summoned though the details are myriad.  Most tomes include the ritual circle that will create a barrier to harm the summoner and protect the dufiro from harm.  The details in this are vast.

*Personal Name:  This is a name used conversationally and when used the individual doe not know.
*'''Conversational Name:''' This is the name used socially.  Primarily it references a Dufiro's current race: Sylex of Rot, Tinsanax of Health, Cuso of Fire.  However, in conversation a previous race might be mentioned if one wanted to speak to the expertise gained in that race and uses a rank shortening;Ava Sylex of Motion, Maso Tinsanax of Carnality, Ava Cuso of Blending.  The shortenings are Ela, Spa, Ava, Maso, & Illum.
+
*Calling Name:  This is a relatively short name that will attract the attention of the dufiro across vast distances.  It is like requesting a meeting. The Dufiro is not compelled to answer.  It is considered rude amongst dufiro to use the calling name casually since once spoken the dufiro's attention is briefly taken.  This leads to what non-dufiro races might consider a nervous tick, as the dufiro might pause briefly in a conversation when the name is spoken millions of shadows away.
**'''Referencing Rank:''' Conversationally rank is not mentioned except for a serious use, then its used in conjuntion to the race mentioned: Sylex of Rot, Tinsanax of Health, Cuso of Fire.

*Summoning Name: This is a main portion of a Dufiro's book.  When spoken correctly it can summon the Dufiro into the presence of the speaker.  Much care is taken by summoners to create circles of protect.

*Binding Name: This name longer then the summoning name but is nearly always included in the tome.  It is the Name that must be used to bind the dufiro to an item.  If used after a bargain has been struck the reading of the name is simple.  If the binding is unwilling the dufiro will fight it from its summoning circle and it often is a battle of wills, psyche, and powers, to bind the dufiro.
