Forest Heartbeats: Names Pulsing with Ancient Woods

Actionable steps:
- Choose wood type: ash, yew, willow.
- Add vowel flows: -ara, -en, -ith.
- Generate: Asharath, Yewenith.
These evoke deep woods and hidden groves. Use for land druids or hermits. Transition to elements by layering storm prefixes next.
Logic: Algorithm pulls from 200+ nature lexicons. Randomizes syllable count (2-4). Ensures pronounceability for table play.
