Forge a name worthy of the Erdtree.
Pick a class, a great rune, a curse — or roll the lot. Get a tarnished name, a grim epithet and an item-description-style obituary. Original execution, no copyrighted material.
About this generator
This generator builds a tarnished-style fantasy name the way fromsoft-flavored item descriptions do: a half-old-English given name, a clipped surname, a grim epithet and a short obituary line that hints at how the character ended. Roll once for a quick character, or set the dropdowns to seed a campaign hero.
Every roll combines a first-name part, a surname suffix, an epithet and an item-style obit template — so you get hundreds of thousands of unique names, and most of them sound like they belong on a tombstone you would actually loot. The tone is intentionally bleak: hollowing, scarlet rot, death blight, bridges that should never have been crossed.
All vocabulary is original or in the public domain. No FromSoft, Bandai Namco or Elden Ring assets, fonts or copyrighted text are used. Treat the names as a writing prompt for tabletop campaigns, fan fiction, or just a Friday-night character roll.
How to use it
Hit Roll a name to generate a fresh tarnished. The dropdowns let you steer the result without locking it down: pick a class to flavour the obituary, a great rune to anchor the lore, a curse to colour the cause of death, and a voice to bias the given-name pool. Leave any of them on random to surprise yourself.
Use Copy to grab the full "Name, the Epithet" line for character sheets or chat. Share drops the page link into your clipboard or pulls up the native share sheet on mobile. Re-roll until you get a name with the right ring — half the fun is rejecting the boring ones.
