About weapon names
Legendary weapons earn their names. Most combine an image and an action, like Frostfang or Starbreaker, or name the weapon after a promise, a victim or a feeling, like Widow's Kiss.
Pick a weapon type and turn on lore for a short history: what the weapon is made of and what it's known for. That's often enough to hang a whole quest on.
Tips for choosing a weapon name
1
Let the weapon outlive its owner
A named weapon with a history makes a great reward or a dangerous inheritance.
2
Hint at a power
A name like Gravewarden suggests what the weapon is good against.
3
Say who named it
Was it the smith, the first owner, or the people who feared it?
Questions
Do these names come from games?
No. Names that match famous weapons from books or games are filtered out.
Can I name armour or rings with this?
Many names will fit, especially the possessive ones like King's Mercy.
