After Rist talked them down, the two knights finally gave up on making trouble for Solam. At the same time, Rist swore on a knight's honor that he would personally ask Lilith for every detail about the murder and immediately report it to the relevant authorities.
Rist also gave the two knights his ridiculously long full name to make himself more convincing.
On the Shining Plains, people had two kinds of names. One was a given name plus surname, used in daily life and ordinary informal situations. For instance, people would usually call Rist Rist Lanst, while those closer to him would simply call him Rist.
The other was the formal name, which generally appeared in three situations. At birth, during baptism, family members would use the person's full name. The second was on extremely solemn occasions, such as weddings, coronations, investiture ceremonies, and other events where the strictest rules had to be observed. The third was on gravestones.
In any case, ordinary people rarely used such names, because they were long as hell! By Shining Plains custom, a person's full name had to consist of the name given by their parents + baptismal name + father's name + mother's surname + names of distinguished ancestors + family surname.
Remember what was mentioned before? On the Shining Plains, the Church of the Three Gods was the state religion. Everyone here worshipped the Three Gods, and people also revered the saints recognized by the Church. Thus, baptismal names were mostly the names of those saints. It was not unusual for someone to have several baptismal names. Then there were the names of distinguished ancestors, the longest part of the name. The older the family, the longer that section would be.
