Naming an orc artificer
An orc artificer carries orc naming tradition into the artificer's calling. Orc names are short, hard, and aggressive, built from guttural consonants and abrupt stops. A name is meant to sound like a threat or a war-cry, and the strongest orcs earn an epithet that replaces any family name. 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.
