Naming a drow sorcerer
A drow sorcerer carries drow naming tradition into the sorcerer'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 sorcerer — a caster whose power runs in the blood — tends toward evocative names that hint at the lineage that sparks their magic. Lean into that flavour when you pick from the names above, and pair the result with a surname or epithet that fits the class.
