Naming a warforged artificer
A warforged artificer carries warforged naming tradition into the artificer's calling. Warforged were built, not born, so their first identifier is often a serial mark. Most adopt an earned name — something that reflects the person they have chosen to become rather than the unit they were built into. 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.
