View Full Version : What would a Dwarven Demigod call himself?

Alright, I have an ex-PC who was a Dwarven Cleric of Moradin. The short(ish) version is that he was given the gift of immortality, and a bit of divine power so he could power his own spells (instead of having them be grated by Moradin). He took over a demiplane of earth and started his own clan of dwarves (from another plane)... his own power grew until he could grant spells to his own followers, and in effect he became a demigod.

But, as part of the deal, he has to protect an artifact (that the party's after), and take a new name... the idea being that nobody can figure out who he was and therefore won't know he's defending this artifact.

But, what should he call himself? His mortal name was Davin Deepmug.

I will confess that was my first thought too, but I resisted the urge.

I assume you're wanting serious names, right?

I'd go with "Paragon Rook", using Paragon as a general name for servants of Moradin.

Second on the Fistbeard Beardfist. Or third. Who knows, there might be more ninjas.

Why would anyone want such a thing?

The Ancestor.

I like this one. More of a title than a name. And to be honest, the other two ex-PCs that the party has to track down are also going by titles more than names (one is known as the "Mountain Spirit" and the other is the "Dragonlord"). This one's the only one who became a diety, mostly due to his background as a cleric (the other two were a monk and a fighter).

Thanks for the help. I'll be posting his base stats in a bit and asking for equipment advice.

I like names with "titels" =)

If he protects something, I'd include that in the name. Therefore, for last names:

Shieldbearer
Hearthkeeper
Holdfast
Everguard

Same here. That makes 4 of us for Fistbeard Beardfist. Trully a magnanimous name for a dwarf.

The joke Dwarf name that my gaming group usually references is Bendbar Liftgates, not this Beardfist fellow. Otherwise, I like some of the other title-type names already given.
