## Dwarf names with weight

- **Sounds of stone**: Hard consonants, short syllables and names you can growl across a tavern table, unless you ask for softer ones.
- **Clans and epithets**: Family names drawn from crafts, metals and mountains, and epithets earned in deeds: the Patient, Twice-Forged.
- **One culture per clan**: Ask for a whole family and the names share sounds, so the clan reads as related on your character sheets.
- **Original names**: The rules forbid names of characters from published books and games. Search a name before you put it in print.

## How dwarf names sound

Fantasy dwarves usually get short, heavy given names built on k, g, d, r and th, and clan names made of two plain words about work or stone. Many writers lean on Old Norse: J. R. R. Tolkien took most of his dwarf names from the dwarf list in the Old Norse poem Völuspá. The names on this page are original.

- Given names: one or two syllables, ending in a consonant or -a
- Clan names: a material plus a tool, a body part or a deed
- Epithets: earned, specific and a little proud
- Women's names follow the same sounds; ask for them in the brief

## Elves, orcs, dragons and demons

The same Fantasy type names every race at your table. Describe the race and the culture, and the list keeps one set of sounds for it.

- Elves: flowing vowels and soft consonants, such as Ilvaren or Saelith
- Orcs: blunt and guttural, such as Gharzuk or Rokmog
- Dragons: old and heavy, with an epithet, such as Vorthrax the Ash-Crowned
- Demons: sharp and strange, such as Xalgoroth or Neshrael

### Are these names taken from fantasy books or games?

No. The names here are original, and the rules forbid copying characters from published books, films and games.

Yes, use them for any lawful purpose, including published work. Names are generally not protected by copyright, but search a name before you put it on a cover or in a product title.
