Need help with coming up with a title?

[tylerpowell09]

So I'm about to publish my first webcomic but embarrassingly I do not have a title and I cannot think of a good one that fits.

It's a dark fantasy adventure series that follows the exploits of an Exile named Ewen who becomes wanted for the murder, reluctantly teams up with a Grave Robber named Brant. More specifically Braant is a man who scavenges bodies left over on battlefields in hopes he can find anything of value worth selling like weapons or other trinkets. They are hired by a mysterious nobleman to find mysterious artifacts while being pursued by the law. They soon realize the artifacts have more to them then the Nobleman has lead on.

People have recommended naming the series after one of the characters but I have it so It's about both characters and later in the story I have the perspective shift to a different character for a bit. So I feel naming it after one specific character wouldn't fit well.

the exploits of an Exile

Why not call it this?

[Yulek]

puns are always great

you could also go for the setting

but tbh it's gonna be hard to help you out bc a title usually has a deeper meaning that's only going to really make sense later on

so any suggestion I could give you would be fairly shallow

I really like Exploits of an Exile as well.

But, since you don't want to be too specific, I would suggest something about "outcasts", since you've got an exile and a grave-robber. Also, they're on a team, solving crimes, so you can go that route too. Like, outcasts solving the crimes for the rich in secret. (That would make a terrible title. I just mean that you can use those as keywords or prompts.)

A Grave Robber And an Exile Walk Into a Bar

Actually, "The Grave Robber and The Exile" is not too long. Just don't plug any subtitles onto it. It comes off a little edgy to me because both labels are negatively charged. They are factual descriptions but could be taken as insults. Maybe a little bit edgy is the tone for which you are going.

Is the king hiring these guys because he wants some dirty work done with plausible deniability like a medieval black ops squad -- or do these protagonists have some unique skills or talents which make them the only candidates for specific quests like Sir Gawain and the Green Knight?

If either uses a signature weapon, you could copy the name of that like the manga series Claymore.

Other options:
For King and Country
His Majesty's Beckon
Medieval Black Operations
Clandestine Quests
Skullduggery
Two White Dudes with Swords

"Digging In Deeper"

It sets the tone, what the characters will be doing and makes allusions to their problems/occupation without it being too cute or winking to the audience.

"Penance and Other Forms of Profit"
"Coins of the Realm"

Oh, what a great topic!
I was bad at finding titles because I thought I have to compress the story in one title... Somehow... Or give the main character's name... I hated it, because I asked what is the point to make a story if I can tell it in one line?
Now I know they were bad solutions. I mean you can still do them if you want but there are better ways I think.
I like those titles what contain key elements. Game of Thrones episodes have really great episode titles for example. They always refer to all of its scenes. One key element what can match every of them in some ways.
I also love those titles what makes you ask something or make you associate for something. A simple name will not make you those things. Also typical titles will not make it.
If your title is short it can be useful as well, because easier to memorize but it should not be your main viewpoint.
So I suggest you to think about what are key elements of your story, or what is unique or new in it. Maybe you can also choose a unique dialogue piece or element of your storytelling like Peter Jackson did with his first world war documentary "They shall not grow old". It feels weighted because we feel unspoken words behind it.

I'm liking Coins of the Realm.

[tylerpowell09]

I like the realm of thought you brought up when referring to Game of Thrones episode titles. I usually like when a title has a catchy phrase. Spaghetti Westerns do this best.

"A Fistful of Dollars"
"The Great Silence"
"The Good the Bad and the Ugly"
"Two Mules for Sister Sara"

There are similarities to the characters being outlaws. One is by choice and one had it forced upon him. They are both outcasts of society for opposite reasons.

I forgot how fun the word Skullduggery was and that it existed.

[tylerpowell09]

This could would, the quest the are given definitely has more to it then they first realizes and that might work for Brant's character. However I should I should be more specific Brant's way of robbing, he scavenges corpses left over on battlefields to see if they have any items worth selling, like Armor, Weapons or rings.
