Naming a duergar monk
A duergar monk carries duergar naming tradition into the monk's calling. Duergar names are dwarven names turned grim and lightless — the same hard consonants, but stripped of warmth, favouring ash, grey, and chain imagery. A monk — a student of body, breath, and inner balance — tends toward spare, contemplative names, sometimes a single syllable or a virtue. Lean into that flavour when you pick from the names above, and pair the result with a surname or epithet that fits the class.
