Glory brings more than admiration—it earns you a name that others remember.

An Epithet is a title that reflects your deeds or your nature. You can choose one, or earn it through action. At first, it might only be whispered in a village or among your warband. But if your legend grows, that name could echo across kingdoms.

Epithets stack. You retain all your previous Epithets as you progress, allowing you to combine them into ever more impressive Boasts.

There are four levels of Epithets:

Self-Epithet#

  • Glory Required: 5
  • Boast Unlocked: None

You choose this name for yourself. It might be boastful or wild, and others may scoff—until you prove it true.

Examples: Dragon-Eater, Goblin-Slayer.

Earned Epithet#

  • Glory Required: 10
  • Boast Unlocked: Proclamation

Others grant this name to you, based on something remarkable you’ve done. It’s short, memorable, and usually based on something witnessed.

Examples: Destroyer, Avenger, Whisper, Silvertongue.

Path Epithet#

  • Glory Required: 15
  • Boast Unlocked: Coup-de-Gras

When your reputation spreads far enough, people associate you with your subclass. You become the Battlemaster, or the Shadowblade.

Example: Hercules the Berserker.

Legendary Epithet#

  • Glory Required: 20
  • Boast Unlocked: Battle Prayer

The highest tier of fame. You are not just a hero—you are the Barbarian, the Ranger, the Sorcerer.

Example: Hercules the Barbarian.
