# Faction Name Generator

A faction in my story or campaign needs a name, something that signals what the group stands for the moment someone hears it.

The faction is a [FACTION_TYPE:select:rebel or resistance movement,ruling government or empire,military order,religious or cult movement,criminal syndicate,mercenary coalition].

I want the name to feel [TONE:select:righteous and idealistic,ruthless and feared,secretive and shadowy,proud and militaristic].

Generate [COUNT:number:5-15] faction names that match this faction type and tone. For each one, add a short one-line note on the ideology or feeling it projects, what a stranger would assume about the group the moment they hear the name. Vary the construction across the list, some built around a virtue or cause, some around a place or symbol, some around a rank or title, so the list doesn't read like the same two words rearranged each time. Keep a resistance movement under a righteous tone sounding like a cause worth rallying behind rather than the empire it's fighting against, unless I ask for something else. After the list, pick your top 3 and explain what makes them stand out.
