Infamous Three Names

The Infamous Three Names is a concept frequently invoked in art and poetry among the Vht'shjenjé, and alludes to three infamous people from history who attracted notoriety for different reasons. Their names are known to almost all and universally considered to be synonymous to treason and atrocity.
The three names are as follows:
Shai'jernan is the first of the three names. Shai'jernan was mercenary captain during the late Thousand-Year War who was forever vilified by violating a pretender of the Shjevtyrín during the upheaval following the Ihkjetsjírenite conspiracy. He murdered her by impaling her with a spear and raping her as she was dying.
Ihrisjetén is the second of the three names. A Shjevrenjé priest who antagonised relations between his state and Vht'shjenjé and whose series of events ultimately provoked the bloody War of a Thousand Screams.
Ashavtán is the third name, a poet from Ksjvannére who is remembered not for any poetry that he made, but for deceitfully murdering the philosopher Marjenjitsjá, who was an elderly woman in her seventies at the time. He stabbed her in the back with a dagger and threw her body down a deep chasm where it could never be found. He was sentenced to death by torture in his own state but his father slit his throat in prison before the sentence could be carried out. A Shadowborn poet recorded the trial and the subsequent death of him, all written with utter contempt.
Needless to say, these three names are never given to any Scorched child and even the mention of them are thought to provoke bad luck.
