About titan names
Greek roots and script run through results like "Kallos (Hippos, Responsibility)" and "Hupnosm (Ἀγρυπνίᾱ, Frost)", each name yoked to a pair of domains the way ancient powers personified concepts. The parenthetical portfolios make these useful for pantheon building, letting you slot a primordial over two spheres at once. Anglicize the spelling if your players will read it at the table.
How titan names are built
Titan names use an unusual triplet structure: a primary name followed by two parenthetical attribute names built by the same synthesis, in the shape name (attribute, attribute). All three parts are coined from syllable fragments, producing entries like "Casgon (Woel, Fedi)" and "Smialdis (Aesumabio, Fasda)".
Casgon (Woel, Fedi)
Casgon (primary name) + Woel, Fedi (paired attribute names)
Smialdis (Aesumabio, Fasda)
Smialdis (primary name) + Aesumabio, Fasda (paired attribute names)
Kuges (Kiapas, Diogos)
Kuges (primary name) + Kiapas, Diogos (paired attribute names)
Naming notes
This generator is really a name plus two associated coinages, the parenthetical pair reading like the titles or aspects a titan carries. All three slots draw on the same syllable synthesis, so a single result keeps one phonetic register across head and attributes (Kuges alongside Kiapas and Diogos). Keep the parentheses if you want the full titled-titan effect; strip them down to the head word alone for a bare primordial name. Attribute words range from short forms (Teo, Cede) to long rolling ones (Aesumabio, Mukattas).
Questions about titan names
- Why do titan names have two words in parentheses?
- The structure is a primary name followed by two attribute names in parentheses, all built by the same synthesis. The parenthetical pair reads like the titles or aspects a titan carries, as in Kuges (Kiapas, Diogos).
- Why do the head and attribute names sound alike?
- All three slots are coined from the same syllable synthesis, so a single result keeps one register across the head word and its two attributes, as in Casgon (Woel, Fedi).
- Can I use just the main name without the attributes?
- Yes. Strip the parentheses to keep only the primary word for a bare primordial name, or keep them for the full titled-titan effect.
