Dwarf Names
A dwarf’s name is granted by a clan elder, in accordance
with tradition. Every proper dwarven name has been
used and reused down through the generations. A
dwarf’s name belongs to the clan, not to the individual.
A dwarf who misuses or brings shame to a clan name
is stripped of the name and forbidden by law to use any
dwarven name in its place.
