Naming a dwarf fighter
A dwarf fighter carries dwarf naming tradition into the fighter's calling. Dwarven names are short, hard, and grounded: heavy on th, d, b, k, and r, light on frills. They sound like something you would carve into stone, which suits a culture of miners, smiths, and masons who measure worth in lasting work. A fighter — a disciplined veteran of a hundred skirmishes — tends toward plain, sturdy names that read as dependable on a muster roll. Lean into that flavour when you pick from the names above, and pair the result with a surname or epithet that fits the class.
