Kinds

Five kinds, plus a mix

Each kind shapes both the mood and the words used. Pick one to match your scene, or browse Any.

Highland

Rugged hill and glen kindreds, like Clan Stormcrag or the Mistmoor.

Noble

Proud, titled houses, like House Greycloak or the Goldenmere.

Savage

Fierce warrior tribes, like the Bloodtusk or Clan Skullrend.

Frost

Hard northern bloodlines, like Clan Frostmane or the Icebound.

Ancient

Old, half-legendary lines, like the Duskborn or House Eldermoor.

Naming tips

Making a clan sound real

Compound for kinship

Clan and family names often fuse two words into one: Stormcrag, Greycloak, Bloodtusk. The join makes them feel like an old, settled line rather than a fresh invention.

Match the kind to the people

A highland kindred reads differently from a savage tribe or an ancient house. Set the kind, Highland, Noble, Savage, Frost or Ancient, so the name suits the folk who carry it.

Refine, don't restart

Like the name but want House instead of Clan? Choose it, hit Refine, and switch the form word while keeping the bloodline name.
