Naming an elf artificer
An elf artificer carries elf naming tradition into the artificer's calling. Elven names favour flowing vowels and soft consonants — ae, ia, th, l, r — and rarely end abruptly. A name is meant to sound like music when spoken aloud, reflecting a culture that lives long enough to treat language as an art form in its own right. An artificer — an inventor who pours magic into metal and gear — tends toward crisp, workshop-flavoured names, often paired with a maker's mark. Lean into that flavour when you pick from the names above, and pair the result with a surname or epithet that fits the class.

Elf naming conventions
An elven given name is typically two to four syllables, often built from a meaningful prefix (Ael- 'sun', Syl- 'star') joined to a root and a gendered ending (-ar and -on lean masculine, -a and -ia lean feminine). Many elves also carry a house or clan name such as Windwhisper or Starflower, used formally and among kin.
