Kalashtar are what humans dream of, quite literally too! Kalashtar hold a dual spirit, one of humanity and one from a quori. Quori are ancient spirits that fled from Dal Quor, the land of dreams. To survive, the quoris bound their spirits with willing humans creating the first Kalashtar.
At first glance, Kalashtar look like normal humans, but upon closer inspection, one may notice that Kalashtar have an uncanny beauty to them. This has come from the way the quori spirits have changed the Kalashtar appearance over the generations. These changes include perfectly symmetrical faces, slender bodies, and a subtle glow from the eyes.
A Kalashtar will normally get their name based on the name of the quori their soul is bound to. If the quori’s name was Kashtai, then a Kalashtar may add La- to the start to create the personal name Lakashtai. However, some Kalashtar raised as orphans may have a human name and have no idea about the identity of their quori.
Good Kalashtar Names
True Kalashtar names always are based on the name of the quori their soul is bound to. Because of this, all Kalashtar names are influenced by the Quori Language. As to be expected from the language of dreams, it has an almost whispered quality to it. So when you think of how a name might be pronounced, you should always hear it in a hissed whisper.
