Naming a githzerai bard
A githzerai bard carries githzerai naming tradition into the bard'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. A bard — a wandering performer who trades in songs and secrets — tends toward melodic, memorable names built to be announced on a stage. Lean into that flavour when you pick from the names above, and pair the result with a surname or epithet that fits the class.
