Naming a githzerai artificer
A githzerai artificer carries githzerai naming tradition into the artificer's calling. Githzerai names are calmer and more contemplative than their githyanki cousins, favouring softer consonants and a meditative cadence that suits a monastic, mind-disciplined people. An artificer — an inventor who pours magic into metal and gear — tends toward crisp, workshop-flavoured names, often paired with a maker's mark. Lean into that flavour when you pick from the names above, and pair the result with a surname or epithet that fits the class.
