Frequently asked questions
Is this for drow specifically?
Yes — it produces drow and dark elf names in the sharp, sinister style D&D players expect, while still giving each a meaning and origin.
Can I make it more or less menacing?
Switch the tone — "dark" leans sinister, "ancient" leans noble-but-fallen, "mysterious" sits between.
