Forging Your Dwarf Name
When naming a dwarf, ask yourself:
- Does the name reflect their profession or clan heritage?
- Should it use hard consonants and earthy vowels?
- Will a double syllable or single-syllable fit their backstory?
- Does it convey strength, craftsmanship, or resilience?
- How would it sound echoing through the halls?
