About Orc Names
Orcish names are brutal, guttural, and fierce - just like the orcs themselves. These names echo with the clash of iron and the roar of battle. Whether you're playing a noble orc seeking redemption or a fearsome warchief, your name should strike fear into the hearts of your enemies.
Naming Conventions
Orc names favor harsh consonants like G, K, and Z, often combined with deep vowels like U and O. They're typically short and punchy, easy to shout across a battlefield. Many orcs earn additional names through great deeds or kills.
