Naming a dwarf wizard
A dwarf wizard carries dwarf naming tradition into the wizard'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 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.
