About Elf names

Elven names balance musical vowels with precise consonants, suggesting long memory, close ties to nature, and cultures shaped over centuries. These original names draw on Celtic, Finnish, and Welsh sound patterns without borrowing established fantasy characters. Use the subtypes to move between bright high-elven courts, woodland clans, sea-roving houses, and shadowed communities while keeping every result readable at the table.
