Traditionally the people of Azozde are not given names upon birth. Children must earn their name, and like many things it comes in stages. This particular child earned their name once they'd reached six months of age — the name of Vek. Names lack any cohesive meaning, mostly being comprised of sounds that are particularly satisfying to say; however, in the case of the Azozde Tribe, multi-syllabic names are a rarity and they denote traits, skills, and any such things that warrant esteem. In the case of Vek, it was reaching his first year of life and beginning his tutelage under a famous shaman. In doing this, he earned another syllable to his name — kesh, which transformed him from a child to a young man. Under the guidance of this tutor he learned of healing methods, magics, spirits, and their role in the universe. Once he felt comfortable with his knowledge he did what any good student of the arcane should do — he killed his teacher, and was subsequently banished from the Tribe. Although putting Ve'kesh to death might be the most obvious option for this crime, the lawlessness of his people prevent such a thing, for it was quite common for the children to surpass their mentors and use their skills to slay (and potentially cannibalize) their elders.
