What is a mountain dwarf name?
Dwarves in Norse myth were born of the earth and worked its stone and metal — so a mountain dwarf's name should sound like it was cut from rock and hammered in a deep hall. NameLore's mountain dwarf generator locks to the noble tone and reaches for Old Norse roots of stone, iron, gold, and the hall: steinn (stone), fjall (mountain), járn (iron), gull (gold). The names come out solid and enduring, and each shows its meaning: your smith or thane might be named for 'stone-gold' or 'iron-hall' in the old tongue. It suits a clan-lord under the mountain, a master forger, or any dwarf whose name should carry the weight of rock and the shine of worked metal — with the lore panel making that weight explicit.
