I need to find clan names and such... I don't suppose there is a site around for such things? Is there a link to dwarfy clan names?
I guess I could just make them up. Boulderfist, Irontooth, Thunderpick, Silverbeard, Gemfingers, Tinkergloves, Rockthrower... etc.
Oh... I also had one named Kudrin Kakisson. Whatever happened to him?
Edit:
yes, I like %26quot;G%26quot; names for my dwarfs.

Lookin' for'ard to many a long day guzzlin' ale and hewing grobi!
Guivert is the dwarf name I've sort of come up with. I actually took it from Chretien de Troyes' Erec and Enide (Arthurian literature ... good stuff). The original character in that tale is actually called Guivret (I've un-Frenched my version), and while it doesn't out and out state that he's a dwarf, there's a number of details that come together to suggest that he is. His full name also happens to be Guivret the Small, so there's really no hiding it.
I've written a background story for him, since there's next to nothing explaining his past in any of the original texts (he's also mentioned briefly in Malory), and plan to expand on it. It's been a lot of fun developing him as a character, and I did play him as a dwarf Paladin in that other game.
I've not thought of a suitable surname for him, however. Are there any resources for particularly Warhammerish dwarfen surnames?
Dwarf surnames are usually one of three things:
1) The dwarf's father's name, such as %26quot;Grimi son of Gulli%26quot; - which would also appear as %26quot;Grimi Gullisson.%26quot; This is the most popular fashion of surnames for the dawi. : ) You simply add %26quot;sson%26quot; onto the end of the father's name. So, Gotrek son of Gurni would be Gotrek Gurnisson, etc.
2) Some form of feat-earned name. Be it a nickname earned through a furious drinking session, or a title/name earned through a furious battle. Names such as %26quot;Grimi Skullstomper%26quot; or %26quot;Gulli Legbreaker%26quot; or %26quot;Drundi Shieldbearer%26quot; or %26quot;Gorgut Elgidum%26quot; (Elf doom) or %26quot;Forki Barrelglugger%26quot; etc.
3) A clan name. Such as %26quot;Snorri Ironfist%26quot; or %26quot;Kaki Silverbeard%26quot; or %26quot;Rorik Thunderpick.%26quot;
I prefer options one and two, and then simply add on a clan name if I feel like it.
I.e. Rorik Rogrinson, of the Thunderpick clan, from the throng of Kazad Dawr.
how will i sleep at night? someone i don't know/ don't care about wants me dead. My world is falling apart.

The most important, successful, and prominent, yes.
The finest?
Naaahh.... that's a matter of opinion!
when i can motivate myself to read all those classics and the famous playwrights material beyond writing about it i will. currently im content with warhammer thankee very much
My mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun;
Coral is far more red than her lips' red;
If snow be white, why then her breasts are dun;
If hairs be wires, black wires grow on her head.
I have seen roses damask'd, red and white,
But no such roses see I in her cheeks;
And in some perfumes is there more delight
Than in the breath that from my mistress reeks.
I love to hear her speak, yet well I know
That music hath a far more pleasing sound;
I grant I never saw a goddess go;
My mistress, when she walks, treads on the ground:
And yet, by heaven, I think my love as rare
As any she belied with false compare
Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more;
Or close the wall up with our English dead.
In peace there's nothing so becomes a man
As modest stillness and humility:
But when the blast of war blows in our ears,
Then imitate the action of the tiger;
Stiffen the sinews, summon up the blood,
Disguise fair nature with hard-favour'd rage;
Then lend the eye a terrible aspect;
Let pry through the portage of the head
Like the brass cannon; let the brow o'erwhelm it
As fearfully as doth a galled rock
O'erhang and jutty his confounded base,
Swill'd with the wild and wasteful ocean.
Now set the teeth and stretch the nostril wide,
Hold hard the breath and bend up every spirit
To his full height. On, on, you noblest English.
Whose blood is fet from fathers of war-proof!
Fathers that, like so many Alexanders,
Have in these parts from morn till even fought
And sheathed their swords for lack of argument:
Dishonour not your mothers; now attest
That those whom you call'd fathers did beget you.
Be copy now to men of grosser blood,
And teach them how to war. And you, good yeoman,
Whose limbs were made in England, show us here
The mettle of your pasture; let us swear
That you are worth your breeding; which I doubt not;
For there is none of you so mean and base,
That hath not noble lustre in your eyes.
I see you stand like greyhounds in the slips,
Straining upon the start. The game's afoot:
Follow your spirit, and upon this charge
Cry 'God for Harry, England, and Saint George!'
okay maybe not the finest but he is bloody good.
