How it works

The True Name rune builds a pad that hands each visitor their own player head. Right-click its centre to bind it: the fires go out and the Tier blocks harden into stone. Then right-click any stone of the pad to receive your head. Each head spends one charge.

Player heads matter across Runic. They name players in signatures, add guests to a Domain or a Keystone, and name the estate on a True Name Altar.

Feeding the pad

The pad's empty centre takes offerings. Place a Tier block there and right-click it for more charges, or set an Aether Chest there and the pad draws Tier blocks from it on its own. When the last charge is spent, the pad crumbles.
