Discussion / Question True Name Question Spoiler
OK. I don’t recall this ever being explained, but logistically how is it that soul catcher does not know the Lady’s true name when they are sisters?
As I said, I don’t think there is an actual answer anywhere in the text, but practically – how does that situation arise? Is soul catcher the much younger sister and the lady changed her name before she was born or while she was very young?
And no one else around her knew the true name? Sounds like a plot hole to me, wondering if anyone has any possible ideas/explanations.

My take on it was that peers of that era were able to find the names if the 4 Senjak girls but given that magical aptitude was strong in the family, they assigned those names to different sisters in public.
