she kind of needs a name for the binding, sense by revealing themselves to each other it allows them to connect their souls together, and don't forget it's an elemental your summoning, so the underworld thing wouldn't really make sense, because of me already mentioning the elemental plane before.

What if right before they actually binder, my character gave the summon a name? Also, I imagine that the elemental realm is split into regions, one for each element, and I suspect the dark realm wouldn't be to unlike hell.

well if using other examples of the elemental planes as anything then it is separated into sections, each section basically being a concentrated form of it's element. like the air/wind section is nothing but sky and a few floating islands in the sky. the fire is like a sea of flames, etc.. etc.. so (shrugs) that's just taking examples from other things that have the elemental planes, and I don't have a complete set up for the one in this rp just yet.

Their true name is given to them upon birth/creation so I'm unsure there and they have to reveal their true names, which even if they don't know it normally can be an instinctive thing (so could have even if she says it she doesn't remember it herself), in order to show full trust and open themselves fully for the contract. True name is different from simply a name they could just go by. it's a more deeper meaning than that.
