Dwarf Clan Names

Regardless of being city, hill or mountain stock all Dwarf Clan names follow a pattern and are always made up of combinations of the following word elements



Axe

Hammer

Shield

Forge

Beard

Vein

Measure

Hand



Red

Gold

Silver

Black

Iron

Stone

White

Steel


First names very a bit, Hill Dwarves have "Scots" sounding names, Mountain Dwarves have "Germanic" or "Eastern European" sounding names and City Dwarves have kind of "Jewish" sometimes with a bit of "Vietnamese" flavor.

Faerie Dwarves do not have clans, having traded away their identity for a sort of immortality. They keep real names secret for magical reasons and instead have strange titles (Steel-Spinner, Moon Bender, that sort of thing)

    This gave me an idea. Certain words ("axe", "stone", etc.) are associated with certain concepts (like "dwarf") in D&D... cold build a mechanic based on related word clouds....hmmmmm....

    Verification word:

    "proforee"

    PROPAGANDA!!!
