Mount and Blade 2: Bannerlord needs faction names that feel like empires, kingdoms, and realms—Calradia's Northern Empire, Vlandia, Khuzait, and more. Choosing a name that fits the game's tone helps your custom faction or mod feel at home. The Mount and Blade 2 Bannerlord Empire Kingdom Name Generator helps you create names for your own faction or role-play.
Faction Types in Bannerlord
Bannerlord uses Empire (Northern, Western, Southern), Kingdom (Vlandia, Sturgia), Sultanate (Aserai), Khanate (Khuzait), and Confederation (Battania). Names often pair a direction or theme (Iron, Golden, Storm) with the type (Empire, Kingdom, Realm). Use keywords in the generator to get names that match the faction type you want—imperial, feudal, desert, steppe, or forest.
Direction and Theme
Use Northern, Western, Southern, Eastern for geography. Use Iron, Golden, Storm, Frost, Sand, Wolf for tone. The generator produces names that fit both official factions and custom kingdoms so you can name a new realm or mod faction in the same style.
Empire vs. Kingdom vs. Khanate
Empires suggest large, imperial rule (often with Legion); Kingdoms suggest feudal realms (Vlandia, Sturgia); Sultanates suggest desert rule (Aserai); Khanates suggest steppe and horse lords (Khuzait); Confederations suggest tribal union (Battania). Picking the right type and then a theme (e.g. Frost Empire, Wolf Khanate) gives a clear identity.
Memorability and Uniqueness
Good faction names are easy to remember and say. They should feel distinct so your faction stands out in multiplayer or role-play. The generator creates original combinations so you can find something that fits your story without copying exact in-game faction names.
