Naming a drow warlock
A drow warlock carries drow naming tradition into the warlock'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 warlock — a bargainer bound to a powerful otherworldly patron — tends toward charged names, sometimes one given in the pact rather than at birth. Lean into that flavour when you pick from the names above, and pair the result with a surname or epithet that fits the class.
