The Namesake of a story can be all kinds of things: a person, a symbol, a weapon. Sometimes, in just a touch of meta-fiction, the Namesake is a book within the book or a show within a show. Sometimes, as in The Way of Kings, this is a holy book. Sometimes, as in The King in Yellow, it's a distinctly unholy book. In any case, it's very important in some way to the story, although how is not always clear at first. Might arise as a result of I Should Write a Book About This. Compare Visual Title Drop. |

Tales of Asteria: In the finale, Orie decides to summarise the events of the game into a book for Tirug. She names the book "Tales of Asteria", and names each arc after what the game itself refers to it as. The book's subtitle "a tale of intersecting thoughts connected by the stars" is itself a reference to the game's tagline "an RPG that connects intersecting thoughts". | |

Most are chapters within the various installments, but a couple - I Must Be Going and Beauty and the Bloodsucker - are full installments themselves.

Cult is about a cult which follows the TV show within a show called Cult, which features a cult. To pile on top of that, the show within a show was based on a cult within the main show.

The Elder Scrolls series gets its name from the Elder Scrolls, a form of Tome of Eldritch Lore referred to as "fragments of creation." They're indisputable recordings of what happens, what could have happened, and what may happen, being heavily associated with prophecy. Reading them also usually comes with a heavy dose of blindness and madness, and they're also known to have some Reality Warping powers. In the fifth game, one character describes them by saying, "They do not exist, but they have always existed." In a twist on the trope, the name was chosen as a sur-title to Arena because, according to the developers, "it sounded cool", and it was only after that they figured out what the Elder Scrolls would be in-universe. | |
