About draken names
Trophy surnames do the heavy lifting in results like "Kekolra heavybreaker" and "Raruad hardscream", each compound reading as a boast won in single combat. The given names stay short and snarled, as in "Geke furybeam". For a WildStar-inspired hunter, write the duel that earned the surname first and the character's whole backstory follows.
How draken names are built
Draken names build in the style of WildStar's predatory warriors, pairing a personal name with a fierce compound surname made of two joined halves (steel + shadow, rage + blight). Female personal names stack four fragments with a repeated vowel; male names run longer with repeated fragment blocks, giving them extra weight.
Bianod steelshadow
Bianod + steel + shadow
male five-fragment personal name plus compound surname
Gaekae rageblight
Gaekae + rage + blight
female four-fragment personal name plus compound surname
Taetero misthammer
Taetero + mist + hammer
male longer six-fragment personal name plus compound surname
Naming notes
The surname banks (68 and 63 entries) and one given-name bank (65) are the deepest, so surnames and male personal names vary widely, while a six-entry ending recurs sooner. The martial compounds (misthammer, glowreaver) carry the menace. Good for hunters, champions, or original warrior characters in that savage register for fan work.
