Soul name

Soul name

In the comic book "Elfquest", a Soul Name is a secret name consisting of a single syllable, which all of the telepathic Wolfrider elves acquire at birth. It is a kind of password which safeguards an elf's innermost thoughts and feelings. It is known to his or her parents, and revealed only to his or her most intimate friends and lovemates.

"Recognition", the elves' telepathic mating urge, causes the affected couple to exchange soul names involuntarily.

The villainous elf Winnowill once overheard the Wolfrider Dewshine's soul name and spoke it aloud in her presence - a shocking violation which allowed Winnowill to blackmail her into compliance. It is a sign of Winnowill's immorality that she was able to break one of the Wolfriders' most sacred taboos with impunity.
