About warriors of chaos names
Guttural given names drag a dark compound epithet behind them, as in "Khezzika nethergaze" and "Kraozhurkhor darkflare", with the second word naming what the gods rewarded. The form suits warband champions in Warhammer flavored campaigns, where a title like nethergaze is earned in blood and lost the same way. Swap the epithet onto a new given name to show a rival claiming a fallen champion's legend.
How warriors of chaos names are built
A warriors of chaos name is a synthesized given name plus a compound surname. Female given names braid four letter slots and male given names braid five, both reusing a vowel slot, with longer male variants adding a repeated consonant-vowel pair. Both genders share the surname pool: a dark mood word (42 forms) joined to a noun (52 forms), such as nightfang or battleflame.
Seanrakne nightfang
Sean + ra + k + ne (female given, vowel slot reused) + night + fang (compound surname)
harsh given fragments and a grim surname set the marauder tone
Gradork battleflame
Gra + d + o + rk (male given, vowel slot reused) + battle + flame (compound surname)
Nagna burninghand
Na + g + n + a (male given, vowel slot reused) + burning + hand (compound surname)
Naming notes
The given fragments stack harsh northern-sounding consonants (Seanrakne, Khake, Gradork), and the surname carries the marauder menace: nightfang, nightspew, burninghand, blazemark. That pairing of a brutal given name with a grim compound byname is the register. For fan fiction or tabletop the surname works as an earned war-mark, so a lesser warrior can keep only the given name. Keep surname halves to night, fire, blood and battle imagery rather than soft nouns.
