The Courte

A vast remains of an empire who's leaders shattered their home dimension into fragments across the multiverse. The Empire itself is now held together through portals and dust, policed by the "The Courte" itself. Some "pocket dimensions" found in other dimensions are just pieces of the Courte connected to the dimension like a patch being sewn into a quilt.

The people of the Courte have dedicated a lot of power to their names, something that stays true for the whole dimension, so anything you see people go by here will be aliases, nicknames, and false names. A part of the binding ceremony (similar to marriage, but you do this with your family and friends as well with each ceremony being a little different for which kind of love it is. Also there’s no need for an audience and you can do it on a whim) is exchanging names, and apart of the unwinding ceremony is to demand for the other to forget yours while forgetting theirs in the process. If you don’t do the second part, you can be taken to court in front of the monarch and she’ll judge whether she should make you forget.
