Naming a drow monk
A drow monk carries drow naming tradition into the monk'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 monk — a student of body, breath, and inner balance — tends toward spare, contemplative names, sometimes a single syllable or a virtue. Lean into that flavour when you pick from the names above, and pair the result with a surname or epithet that fits the class.
