Naming a warforged bard
A warforged bard carries warforged naming tradition into the bard'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. A bard — a wandering performer who trades in songs and secrets — tends toward melodic, memorable names built to be announced on a stage. Lean into that flavour when you pick from the names above, and pair the result with a surname or epithet that fits the class.
