Naming a drow ranger
A drow ranger carries drow naming tradition into the ranger'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 ranger — a hunter and warden of the borderlands — tends toward practical names, often a given name plus a trail-earned byname. Lean into that flavour when you pick from the names above, and pair the result with a surname or epithet that fits the class.
