Changelings are everywhere on the Prime Material plane, whether you choose to see them is another question. These creatures are natural masters of disguise with the uncanny ability to become whoever they would like to be. Often they are seen as thieves or charlatans, but many try to lead honest lives.
The legends say that to save her 100 children, Jes pleaded to the Gods. However, only the Traveler would answer her call, giving her children the ability to shapeshift into any humanoid form. This allows them to live as whoever they need to be to best survive.
Changeling names are not particularly interesting on their own. They normally consist of a single syllable, but they can have added flair if given an “accent.” Since Changelings are shapeshifters, when saying their name they may instinctually change a part of themselves, such as change their eye or hair color. This is normally very brief but can help differentiate Changelings with the same vocal name.
