Empire Name Generator (Warhammer)

The Empire of Sigmar

The Empire is the largest human nation in the Warhammer Fantasy setting, a patchwork of provinces such as Reikland, Middenland, Talabecland, and Averland, each ruled by an elector count who helps choose the Emperor. Founded by Sigmar Heldenhammer after his victory at Black Fire Pass, it stands as a bulwark against orcs, beastmen, undead, and the ever creeping forces of Chaos that threaten its forests and roads.

How Empire names sound

Empire names draw from medieval and early modern German, with first names like Karl, Magnus, Volkmar, Luthor, and Helena, and surnames such as Franz, Schmidt, von Carstein, or Hochland. Noble families often use von to mark their estates, while commoners carry trade based surnames like Steinhauer or Faulkner. Titles such as Elector Count, Witch Hunter, Templar, and Magister add flavor and instantly anchor a character in the setting.

Using these names

Use these names for Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay player characters, NPCs in Warhammer The Old World skirmishes, or generals in Total War Warhammer custom campaigns. They suit witch hunters interrogating villagers, state troop sergeants holding a bridge, or scholars at the Colleges of Magic in Altdorf. Pair a generated name with a province and a profession to spin a quick character hook for any Empire focused story.
