Naming a duergar warlock
A duergar warlock carries duergar naming tradition into the warlock'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 warlock — a bargainer bound to a powerful otherworldly patron — tends toward charged names, sometimes one given in the pact rather than at birth. Lean into that flavour when you pick from the names above, and pair the result with a surname or epithet that fits the class.
