I have been given many names in many lifetimes lived in many places. For the most part, I have been given a birth name that served to identify me as I moved through each of those lives. Yet in this long life lived in this time and place, I have been given many names. Please don't ask, for I am not allowed to tell you all my names. I'm a shaman, and some of my names are secret, known only to me and to those who gave them to me, and must remain so, lest their power be lost. The name I am allowed to tell you—and it's not the full name, but only the first part of it—is Slow Thunder, the name I was given when I accepted my calling.
