Herald of the Earth Breaker

First Post
We found the Demiplane of Dust at the intersection of the Elemental Plane of Earth with the Ethereal Plane. It was filled with constantly grinding stones that broke each into powder, gathered and built up before falling into shattered fragments. We found a maze cube made up of Walls of Force using Find the Path.

There, we challenged the Herald of Ogramash, the evil Elemental God of Earth. We defeated him, and now I am the Herald of Ogramash. I lost two levels - my DM let me pick which levels I lost, since it was the boon of a god - and replaced them with the Half-Earth Elemental template.

So now my levels are:

Fighter 4/Cleric 3/Templar 1/Contemplative 8
Dwarf (Half-Earth Elemental template)

The powers gained are the standard Half-Earth Elemental Powers for a 16 HD creature:

1. Natural armor +3
2. Strength +4, Dexterity -2, Constitution +4
3. Immune to disease.
4. Racial bonus to saving throws versus poison +4.
5. Spell-like abilities:

1. Magic Stone Three stones become +1 projectiles, 1d6+1 damage.
2. Soften Earth and Stone Turns stone to clay or dirt to sand or mud.
3. Stone Shape Sculpts stone into any form.
4. Spike Stones Creatures in area take 1d8 damage, may be slowed.
5. Wall of Stone Creates a stone wall that can be shaped.
6. Stoneskin Stops blows, cuts, stabs, and slashes.
7. Earthquake Intense tremor shakes 5-ft./level radius.
8. Iron Body The character’s body becomes living iron.

The observant reader will, of course, notice that the spells are essentially the same as the clerical Earth Domain spells.

Our DM didn't like the 5th level spell, so he replaced it with Xorn Movement (Manual of the Planes).

Now, the only problem: as the Herald of Ogramash, I need to choose a new name.

Any ideas?

Something to do with Earth, maybe Greek mythology or something like that.

I've thought of a few, and I've had some suggestions, but I thought I might bounce ideas off of you guys.

Possibilities so far:

Skree
Debris
Skridha
Hephaestus
Teron
Petrakos
Obsidious
Kephas

Titles to add on to any of the aforementioned names include:

... the Stonebreaker, Lord of the Dark City
... Mystic of the Shattered Earth
... the Earth Hammer
... the Landslide
... Earthmover
... Stonefang

For a few combinations:
Skree the Landslide
Skridha the Earth Hammer
Teron the Earth Mover
Petrakos Stonefang
Obsidious Earthmover

Bob. It will save you tons of enimies and they'll belittle your name while they underestimate you. A bad name is a great political benefit.

For the surname you might want to identify or recognize your dwarven heritage (like Stonefang). I think ShatterFist, or EarthenTerror would be fitting. As for your first name, that is something that I would have a hard time coming up with.

heh - if you go with the two word surname, you could be just "The" EarthenTerror. Invoke fear into your earthern lessers.

"Better spell "Ogremoch" correctly, or he might get mad. "

Many thanks, sir. This transformation only happened last week, so I didn't have the correct spelling in my notes.
