How the Kalashtar Name Generator works
A kalashtar name generator for Eberron's dreamers, humans bound to spirits called quori. A kalashtar name is built around the name of the spirit they carry, so every member of a lineage shares part of their name. Pick the kalashtar's name, their spirit's name or both together.
How the kalashtar name generator works
Kalashtar are descended from humans who joined with renegade quori spirits fleeing the plane of dreams. The spirit is passed down through a family line, and each kalashtar's name incorporates the name of their spirit, often as the end of the name. So all kalashtar linked to the spirit called Kosh might have names ending in kosh. The generator builds a name from a short, flowing opening syllable, sometimes a middle syllable, and a spirit root, and can show the spirit's full name alongside. Names use soft, open sounds that feel calm and slightly alien.

Using the spirit name
Knowing the spirit's name gives your kalashtar a family. Other kalashtar bound to the same spirit are something like siblings, even if they have never met, and a villain hunting that spirit is a ready-made plot.
FAQ
How do kalashtar names work?
A kalashtar's name usually contains the name, or part of the name, of the quori spirit they are bound to. That makes the name a record of their lineage. The generator ends each kalashtar name with a spirit root and, in Name with spirit mode, gives the spirit's full name too.
What is a quori spirit?
Quori are spirits from the plane of dreams. Most serve a dark power, but some rebelled and fled into human hosts, creating the kalashtar. A kalashtar can hear their quori as a faint presence. The spirit's name is ancient and does not change, even as its hosts are born and die.
Can two kalashtar share the same spirit?
Yes. A spirit is linked to a whole family line, so there may be many kalashtar connected to the same quori at the same time. They share the spirit name as a part of their own names, which the generator reflects. It is a strong hook for backstory and for meeting relatives.
Do kalashtar have family names?
Not in the usual sense. The spirit's name acts as the family link, so kalashtar rarely use a surname. A kalashtar living among humans might adopt one for convenience, but among their own people the spirit name is what matters.
