Naming a duergar wizard
A duergar wizard carries duergar naming tradition into the wizard'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 wizard — a scholar who bends reality through study and formula — tends toward learned, slightly formal names that suit the spine of a spellbook. Lean into that flavour when you pick from the names above, and pair the result with a surname or epithet that fits the class.
