Naming a drow cleric
A drow cleric carries drow naming tradition into the cleric's calling. Drow names are sharper and darker than surface elven names, favouring z, x, v, and ae sounds. They carry the intrigue of a matriarchal Underdark society where a house name is a weapon and a warning. A cleric — a devoted channeler of divine will — tends toward solemn, traditional names, often paired with a title or holy surname. Lean into that flavour when you pick from the names above, and pair the result with a surname or epithet that fits the class.
