There's a name for people like you in Lura. Nameless that try to cross gates illegally. Or people that attempt fake IDs. They're called 'rats'. ;) Sure, you could try and forge one. But you'd be found out within a day and a half of crossing a gate. Most forgeries are caught immediately at the gate. Even if your forgery was perfect, each crossing gets analyzed. If you take a non-existant name, the name of a deceased, or the name of another person, the Naming Committee would catch on very quickly. Within a city, you'd be captured by the guards. Outside a city, you'd be captured by the (even worse!) fugitive hunters. And you wouldn't want to get caught in this world :) Punishment for rats is death by slow poison. LOL~ Fun?
