About Tyranny names

Tyranny is Obsidian Entertainment's role-playing game about a world the Overlord has already conquered. It plays in the Tiers, on the Bronze Age world of Terratus, and its names change from one faction to the next, so this list follows those patterns, not tyrants in general. Personal names are short and hard: Tiersfolk such as Varkis Dona and Halani Vesh, and names with a blunt second word in the manner of Graven Ashe, such as Corvan Slate or Hesker Dross. Any of them can take the player's own office, as in Fatebinder Veyra.

Archons carry a name and an office. The list has a domain form (Veskan, Archon of Oaths), a function form in the style of Tunon the Adjudicator (Messa the Tallier) and plural voices such as The Whispers of Calder. The Scarlet Chorus goes by gang names of two blunt words, like Bitter Tally and Cracked Bell. The Disfavored are named by rank and cohort: Iron Marshal Hadrec, Hethel of the Unbent Line. Beastmen take hyphenated phrases for a habit or a mark on the body: Bites-at-Dusk, Split-Ear.

The rest is the map and the law: Spires, towns and regions in the plain compound style of the Tiers, sworn companies and Edicts. A few names from the game are there as anchors. Everything else is new.

How to choose Tyranny names

  • Decide the faction first. A name tells the table where a character stands: two blunt words for the Scarlet Chorus, rank and cohort for the Disfavored, a personal name and a second name for most Tiersfolk.
  • Give a Fatebinder an ordinary personal name and let the office do the work. Fatebinder Osral or Fatebinder Nolla sounds like a working magistrate, which is what the role is.
  • Build an Archon from an office, not from an adjective. Ask what the Archon does for the Overlord: collects (Messa the Tallier), judges (Corvath the Arbiter) or holds a domain (Tavrik, Archon of Roads).
  • Keep Scarlet Chorus names to something a gang would shout across a camp: short, a little mocking, never grand. Short Straw and Tin Halo fit, long poetic titles do not.
  • For Beastmen, name a hunting habit or a visible mark and join the words with hyphens, as in Waits-Downwind or Notch-Ear.

Frequently asked questions

Is this for the game Tyranny or for tyrant names in general?

It is for the role-playing game Tyranny by Obsidian Entertainment and its world of Terratus. If you want names for dictators, dark lords and despots in general, the overlord and evil empire generators linked on this page are the better fit.

What is a good name for a Fatebinder?

A Fatebinder is known by a personal name and the office, so most personal names work. Fatebinder Veyra, Fatebinder Drusk and Fatebinder Ilvane are in the list, and any other personal name here, such as Tessin Kori or Marra Tallow, can take the title.

How do Scarlet Chorus names work?

Members of the Scarlet Chorus go by gang names, usually two blunt words: the game has Death Knell and Jagged Remedy. New ones in the same manner here include Bitter Tally, Crooked Mercy, Sour Hymn and Last Bargain.

Are these names from the game?

A small share are, as anchors for each style: Barik, Verse, Lantry, Tunon the Adjudicator, Kills-in-Shadow and Vendrien's Well, for example. The rest are new names in the same patterns, and none of the new ones belongs to the game's story.
