Daggerheart Name Generator

Daggerheart, the fantasy RPG from Darrington Press and Critical Role, builds every character from a heritage: an ancestry (what you are) plus a community (where you grew up). Unlike D&D, the core rulebook does not hand you a name list per ancestry, so players are free to invent, and that freedom is exactly why a name generator helps. The sound of a name is the quickest way to signal that your Katari grew up Slyborne in a thieves' quarter or that your Galapa is a patient Seaborne elder.

The ancestries each suggest a flavor. Humans, elves, dwarves, orcs, halflings and giants follow familiar fantasy conventions with a slightly softer, storybook edge. Drakona names crackle with hard consonants (Drazhok Embervein), Faerie and Fungril names draw on hedgerow plants and mushrooms (Thistledown Pim, Morel Duskcap), Galapa names move slowly and calmly (Tortellan Slowtide), Ribbet names are short and splashy (Bibbet Pondhop), Simiah names are quick and playful (Kiko Swiftbranch), Katari names have purring double consonants (Mrrow Softpaw), Infernis names carry a demonic ring (Sareth Ember-Eyed), and Clank names borrow from clockwork parts (Cogsworth Unit Nine).

The list opens with human-style names that suit any community, then walks through each ancestry in turn, so you can roll a whole party or find one name that matches the heritage card you just picked.
