About amulet names

In fantasy an amulet is the item a character never takes off, so its name tends to be about what it keeps: a breath, a memory, a promise, a bound spirit, a little luck. The usual loot-table form is the item plus an epithet, as in Amulet of the Sleeping Tide or Talisman of the Ninth Wave, and the item noun sets the register. A periapt sounds scholarly (Periapt of the Steady Pulse), a medallion is awarded (Medallion of the Shield Wall), a locket is private (Locket of Two Portraits), a torc belongs to chieftains, and a charm is something a grandmother ties on with thread.

The list mixes those epithet names with single-word pieces for signature items (Heartward, Oathknot, Breathstone), pieces tied to an owner or to a saint of the setting (The Widow Haskel's Locket, Saint Veyra's Tear), warding pieces named for what they turn aside (Ward Against Drowning, Hexbane Locket) and cursed ones whose names are a warning (The Strangling Locket, Amulet of the Bad Bargain). Sixty are humble hedge-witch charms such as Hagstone on a Leather Thong, for village markets and low-level loot.

Everything here is a fictional item for games and stories. The saints and owners are invented, and ten long-familiar game names such as Amulet of Health are included as style examples.

How to choose amulet names

  • Decide first what the amulet keeps or keeps away, then pick the name. Breath, memory, luck, oaths and bound spirits are the themes neck-worn items carry best, because the wearer has them at the heart.
  • Choose the noun by who made the piece: a periapt from a healer or alchemist, a medallion from an order or an army, a locket from a family, a torc from a clan, a charm from the village wise woman.
  • A cursed piece is more fun when its name sounds harmless on the shop label. Pendant of Borrowed Years reads like a gift until someone asks who the years were borrowed from.
  • Use the hedge-witch charms as cheap flavor loot. A Four-Knot Wind Cord or a Bent Nail Pendant that works once is a reward players remember.
  • Let an owner name build your world. Saint Corven's Anchor tells the table there is a Saint Corven, that sailors pray to him, and that a shrine somewhere is missing its anchor.

Frequently asked questions

What is a good name for a magic amulet?

Name it for the one thing it does. For protection try Amulet of Turned Blades or Wyrmward Medallion, for luck Talisman of Stubborn Luck, for memory Locket of the Last Letter, for a bound spirit The Ghost on a Chain. If you want one word, Heartward, Vowstone and Lodestar are in the list.

What is the difference between an amulet, a talisman and a periapt?

In fantasy the three overlap. By the usual distinction an amulet is worn to keep harm away and a talisman is made to bring a benefit such as luck or courage. Periapt is an old word for a charm worn on the body, and tabletop games have attached it mostly to items of health and healing.

Are these items from D&D or a video game?

Almost all of them are invented for this list and come with no game statistics. Ten long-familiar names, among them Amulet of Health, Periapt of Wound Closure and Necklace of Fireballs, are included as style examples. For those, use the rules of the game they belong to.

How do I name a cursed amulet?

Either warn the wearer or mislead them. Names like The Tightening Torc and The Locket That Will Not Open say plainly what goes wrong, while Amulet of Misfortune's Favorite and Charm of Spilled Salt hint at bad luck. For a trap, pick an innocent name from the rest of the list and reveal the true one when the curse takes hold.
