[Baehrae Akorbryn’dra Do’everhezynge, Female, Rogue 6]

Your name means "Lucky-Heir Best-Assasin-and-Lover [Of the noble house of] The-Walkers-in-the-Caverns-of-the-Ruins." in the low and guttural speech of the humans, but that loses the thousands of layers of subtle meaning that it has in the noble and ancient Drow tongue.

Just as one tiny example, the word 'best' is not braggart and boastful, but a statement of purpose, you strive to be the best your tender years will allow you to be at your chosen craft of sensual entertainment and bloody-handed ****, which you are never to mix, and learn all you can know about both while your brain is young and malleable enough to easily absorb lessons and information about new subjects, striving to better yourself for the trials ahead of you. In Drow almost all of that is encapsulated in the subtle declensions of how you pronounce "Akor" in "Akorbryn'dra", but when rendered into human, phaugh!

To render out the full meaning of your meer name in the rough-spoken Human Tongue would take a pamphlet of ten pages in length at least with digressions and discussions of subtleties like a rabbit warren in their complexities and circuitous logic, so it is well that we will not be doing so. To your intimates, you are known simply as "Bae" or "Lucky", and you will certainly prove so tonight because you have been given a scroll by your Half-Sister, the other heir to the clan you are part of and a close ally. Should you become a Drider it will teleport you to a distant location, neither of you is especially familiar with the surrounding area but it is a region of forested uplands on the surface with extensive caves in the vicinity where you can take shelter. Your skills with traps and poisons should allow you to live there quite well for some time, and you have reason to believe the area is occupied by orcs and goblins that you can easily cow into service.

Phyxhrae Hurzaere'istra Do’everhezynge, of course, has an ulterior motive: if you become a Drider, she, rather than you, becomes the primary heir of your clan, and having you simply vanish from the testing room leaves little doubt in most people's minds that you in point of fact became a Drider, while conveniently leaving you alive AND owing her a huge favor...
