My newest character is a drow/shade assassin from Chaulssin (born far before the City of Wyrmshadows fell)in the Underdark. However, he needs a name. I want a name that sounds kinda mysterious, because he's a shade, but also kinda drow, that being his race and all. So lemme know if you have any ideas.

| I can and will, Ezindir. He is (and always was) an assassin, trained by the best the city of Chaulssin had to offer. He eventually left his house, and renounced Lolth in favor of Vhaeraun, (drow god of theivery, for those who dont know) becoming a solitary assassin for the highest bidder. When Chaulssin fell, and was overrun with shadow dragons, he was imbued with the essence of shadow, giving him the abilities of a shade, as well as improving his already formiddable skills. This mixed his innate long life with the agelessness of a shade, allowing him to live far beyond the drow norm. This is apparent, since Chaulssin fell long ago, and my assassin is still alive. He later joined the Jaezred Chaulssin (Those who read War of the Spider Queen Series know what I'm talking about), trying to liberate the Underdark from the tyranny of Lolth. Aside from this, not much more is known about him, save that he is one of the strongest the Jaezred Chaulssin has to offer. |

That charackter sounds somwhat pretty like a certain person I now.  If he have keept his old drow name I would suggest somtihg with an ' in the name, somthing like Z'en Z'ar maybe, but you would well like a name that is a little more darker? And I see that you have change your signature so that your quote from Demogorgon has more facts in it than mine. Hmmpff.. How rude  . |

my suggestion, as always for names:
Download the Everchanging Book of Names, then download the Forgotten Realms addition select drow male/female whichever you want, and hit generate and you can generate an infinite number of really cool names.
The everchanging book of names, awesome. |

I`m wondering if you are after a typical drow name, whitch have nothing to do with the real world? if you know what I mean.
I mostly combine; like Naroon Shimmerflow, Ileena Silverleaf, High General Irrezen, something like that.
ANyway I have these "English" names: Turnshadow, Silence, Combanigash(not very english ), Zander.... something like that.
Good luck in youre search Shadowlord.
Another ale for you |

Bleh BG2 ruined that name, I used it before BG2 came around. I saw it in "Drow of the Underdark", so no, it's not taken from BG2  |

Ahhh, I see Cherrn, forgive the ignorance on this drow's part, and naroon, if you keep the ale coming, I might even consider an alliance..... Shadowlord, the drunken drow wanders blissfully around the Halls of Candlekeep for a time |

"Thats my man!" mr.lee says loudly to Naroon... Then he turns his back on him, and quickly uses his hands to say to Shadowlord:
"Well, that one knows how to buy his friends! .... Well, as long as the ale keeps flowing!" |
