Naming a tiefling artificer
A tiefling artificer carries tiefling naming tradition into the artificer's calling. Tiefling naming runs two ways: an infernal birth-name with a hiss and an edge, or a self-chosen 'virtue name' — a word like Hope, Sorrow, or Reverence that declares who they intend to be. Both are equally valid. 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.
