Finally to complete the Namalama, a Namasarang is added, which is the name of the ‘nest’ in a crude translation. This name is only given to those who were also parented by their biological parents (which is particularly important among Rama, who without a Namasarang are not taken seriously), as this name is a continuation of blood-line. The Namasarang is usually just a word in Pidato, so for example the Pidato words for sun (matahari), red cliffs (tebing merah), merchant (pedagang) and so forth. In the examples above, in one of the above examples, if Resa Fadhlacinta was of the sun Namasarang, they would be called Resa Fadhlacinta Matahari, but in common day to day activities simply be referred to as Resa.

===Religion===

The Allar faith is called Keyakinan and it is fairly complicated to comprehend for the other Races. At its base, Keyakinan is a so-called unignost faith, meaning that they believe all gods, all divine entities, all religious figures and symbols, and all religious preachings are true, at least to some high extent. They believe that all gods and goddesses are real, and that they all exist within the physical reality and are all owed some sort of worship or deference, which falls in line with the concept of All-Truth where all religions are equally true. The outcome is that while the Allar in theory could blend into any religious community. What is usually more common however, is that the Allar in question acknowledge all religions as real, but only worship or praise the name of a small group of them in daily life, because praising every single deity in existence is impractical. For example, an Allar may choose one or two [[Unionist]] gods, a Void God from Void Worship, one of the [[~~Estellon~~]] gods, and a [[Dragon]] from [[Dragon Worship]] to boot. This is then called their ‘Kelompok’, or their active worship group within Keyakinan.

Rumah-Allar are somewhat of an outlier however, as they are distinctly religious. Rumah-Allar do not follow the Keyakinan, rather, they are exclusively Void-Worshipers, with their own variant of it called Sarat Void Worship. Nearly all gods are identical, though there are some notable changes to the dogma as well as naming that may be important to highlight. Carraq is identical but is called Pencari. Onu is called Hikmah, and as opposed to be a very magic-inclined Void God, he is a God of [[Theurgy]] and Void [[Demon]]s. Venna the Deathsinger is not acknowledged, because the Rumah-Allar consider [[Vampirism]] a plague, she is absent from Sarat Void Worship. Armas is identical but is called Kesubaran. Xor is called Raksasa, and his themes are slightly altered, where-as Xor has a heavy magical-affliction focus, Raksasa particularly represents using surgery-grafting and genetic-altering through Alchemy as a means to create the perfect being, it is far less monstrous and more idealized in outcome. Marvaal is not present in Sarat Void Worship, while the Rumah-Allar do acknowledge him as a powerful [[Allorn]] Mage, they hold that they captured and ate him when he landed on Sendrass, thus proving he was not a God. Inthalis is identical but called Semua-Tahu. Eloblina is called Naga, and her theme is very different, as instead of being a swamp goddess, she is a Void-Dragon of rot, disease and venom that poisons the land and all living on it. Odella is called Bisikan and her theme is also different, as instead of a political agent whispering secrets, she is a divine representation of berserker rage and insanity, whispering dark secrets to make the faithful mad with rage. Finally, Ifrit is called Taga-Tanduk and is still considered a Dragon-like Naga, but thematically represents the gatekeeper of the [[Void]] to the Rumah-Allar, being the closest to what Sarat Void Worshipers would consider the devil if they thought all other Void Gods were goodly. Other than these stylistic difference, Void Worship is nigh identical for the Sendrassian Allar, though they tend to be a bit on the sacrificial side of morality.
