Questions
- How are dwarf clan surnames built?
- Each surname pairs one of 19 clan prefixes with one of 9 suffixes, such as Ironanvil, Battlesmith, or Rockdigger, 171 possible combinations layered on top of a separately generated dwarven first name.
- Do dwarf names differ by gender?
- Yes. Male and female dwarf names each draw from their own first-name list before the clan surname is attached, so switching gender changes the whole name, not just the ending.
