## Zendikar’s Races — Naming Traditions

Zendikar’s inhabitants have been shaped by the plane’s wild mana, deadly terrain, and the Eldrazi threat. Each race has distinct naming conventions rooted in their culture and survival strategies.

### 🧗 Kor

The Kor are nomadic cliff-dwellers and expert climbers. Their names are short and percussive — designed to be called across canyons and cliffsides. Kor names often have two syllables with hard consonants. Notable examples: Nahiri, Ayli, Drana (originally Kor before her turning).

### 🌊 Merfolk

Zendikar’s merfolk are tidal mages and lullmages who study the Roil’s patterns. Their names flow like water — multi-syllabic, vowel-heavy, often ending in “-ara” or “-ei.” Notable examples: Kiora, Lorthos, Noyan Dar.

### 🦇 Vampire

Zendikar’s vampires are not the gothic type — they’re ancient bloodchiefs who ruled from Guul Draz before the Eldrazi. Their names are sharp and aristocratic with dark vowels. Notable examples: Anowon, Kalitas, Zagras.

### 🌿 Elf

Zendikar’s elves belong to three nations: Joraga (warriors), Tajuru (scouts), and Mul Daya (mystics). Their names are lyrical and nature-bound, often referencing forests and fauna. Notable examples: Nissa Revane, Dwynen, Ezuri.

### 🔥 Goblin

Zendikar goblins are chaotic but surprisingly useful as expedition guides. Their names are short, sharp, and often onomatopoetic. The three tribes — Grotag, Lavastep, and Tuktuk — each have distinct naming patterns. Notable examples: Tuktuk, Zada, Krenko.

### 👁️ Eldrazi-Touched

Mortals who have been corrupted by the Eldrazi titans bear distorted names — fragments of their former identity warped by alien influence. These names feel incomplete, fractured, and unsettling. Notable examples: Emrakul, Kozilek, Ulamog.
