Dwarven names are solid and traditional, built from strong consonants that sound like they were hammered on an anvil. A dwarf’s name is granted by a clan elder, drawn from a long line of ancestors, and using a name outside your clan’s approved list is a serious taboo — names belong to the clan, not the individual.
Every dwarf also bears a clan name that they wear with fierce pride — Battlehammer, Ironfist, Frostbeard, Fireforge. Together, the given name and clan name announce exactly which stronghold and bloodline a dwarf hails from the moment they introduce themselves.
