*Warning: NSFS (Not Safe For Sanity)*
All those brave or foolish enough to summon fragments of the Ruinous Powers, here find the key to power over the Daemonic Servants of Darkness...
Daemonic True Name Generator
Virtually all Daemons take great care to
keep their true names a secret. Only the
most powerful Arch Daemons, who need
not fear domination by any other creature,
do not bother to hide their true names. The
true name of a Daemon is often completely
alien and very nearly unpronounceable.
Knowledge of a true name grants power,
and gives some leverage when it comes to
dealing with a Daemon. As a consequence,
a Daemon will never voluntarily reveal its
true name, nor can it be commanded to do
so except on pain of utter and total
destruction. Most Daemons will, however,
reveal the true name of another Daemon...
Greater
Roll -- 1D6 or 2D6 (your choice) x Chaos god's number.
Other
Chaos god's associated number.
Once the number of elements has been determined, the following table can be used to randomly generate the parts of the Daemon's true name. Alternatively, you can simply choose the right number of elements from the table.
Once the elements have been generated they can be used 'as is' to give a completely random name or, in cases where this looks and feels wrong, rearranged.
Apostrophes (') and other punctuation can be added as you see fit to break the name up and make it slightly more pronounceable.
Daemonic Use-Name Generator
Daemons use a number of false names
and titles so as to keep their true names
a secret.
These vary for a single Daemon, according
to mood or circumstance (Pinchbottle,
Maeltranseer etc). Daemons will apply such
'use names' to themselves as they think fit
or as amuses them.
Again, Greater Daemons have names that are longer than those of other Daemons. Roll 4 times on the above table to generate a first and a second name for Greater Daemons. Other Daemons and creatures roll only twice, generating only one name.
Re-roll any duplicated results. The elements that are rolled up should be put together in pairs to give the name of the Daemon, for example, grim + belch and chaos + warp = Grimbelch Chaoswarp.
While this table can generate names of any type of Daemon, you may wish to select name elements for some. Daemons of Khorne, for instance, have names which echo nothing but their love of violence and destruction: Warfiend, Thrashblood Hackflesh and Manblight Gnaw-weapon.
The number of elements in a Daemon's name depends upon the number associated with the Chaos God it serves. Furthermore, the more powerful the Daemon, the longer its name will be
Any combination of names can be augmented by er, ling, and or suffixes, or by the providing that these are applied intelligently.
For example, rut + sate (-e)r gives Rutsater, gut + (t) - er + sinew gives Guttersinew, while maggot + spoor + -ling gives Maggotspoorling.
Single or double words from the table can be added as a further description for a Daemon, as in plague + vomit + the + drool + ing = Plaguevomit the Drooling.
