The Great Struggle of My ESO Career: Help Me Name a Character
DisgruntledFarmer
Soul Shriven
Character archetype: Chimer Necromancer
Very short backstory recap: Former chimer battlemage escaped Coldharbor and isn't exactly thrilled to find that the tribunal are parading themselves around as "gods" while Nerevar is dead. Time spent as a soul shriven didn't exactly help with the anger issues, so his initial assessment + a bit of manipulation from Vaermina's Supernal cult in Stormhaven is enough to put him on the war path.
Personality: Arrogant of his power as the vestige, but not so much that he's going to try and duke it out with any of the tribunal directly. Not exactly twisted or sadistic, but merciless if he believes its for some "greater cause". Calculating, but ultimately unable to fully see how he's being strung along by Vaermina and other daedric forces.
My problem: I generally struggle to come up with lore friendly names, and there aren't a ton of Chimer characters to work with when it comes to trying to find a naming convention. His initial name was "Thalor, Oathbreaker's Ruin", but Thalor sounds a bit nordish to me personally. If anyone has any ideas/suggestions I'd certainly appreciate the help!

DisgruntledFarmerSoul ShrivenHmm, I see. I've certainly made use of that site in the past, alongside chat gpt and name generators. I'm hoping to come up with a name unique to my character in this case rather than borrowing one from an existing character. Not much luck with the AI tools so far either as they seem to deviate from the in-universe naming conventions.Edited by DisgruntledFarmer on October 15, 2024 10:08PM0

✭Hedraleyn?
Merging the three names on the page?
Not a lot of pattern in those names to get a cultural sense of how chimer name.0 -
DisgruntledFarmerSoul ShrivenYeah, not a lot of work with when it comes to Chimer names. I like Hedraleyn so that'll definitely be a contender. Thank you!
