I do not play Morde, and I don't really care about him

But "Lord of Death" just sounds terrible. I'm sorry, but it's just awfully generic and dull.

If you're going to butcher him, at least do it in a way that I can read his title without cringing.

^^ You already destroyed him, don't ruin his identity even more by changing his title.

It doesn't really translate well from his own freaking name. I mean, it kinda fits his theme, I mean he rules over the dead, sort of, or the soulless. But that doesn't really hold water, because that's like calling Garen "The Bushmaster" or Shaco "He Who Just Stole Your Red". Yeah, it's not exactly inaccurate if you wanna stretch that, but that doesn't make it a good thing.

Morde-kaiser. Roughly translated ("kaiser" doesn't really translate well from German, it's really its own independent title without a strict English equivalent), that's Emperor of Murder. Granted, you probably don't want "murder" in a champion's title, but Lord of Death...meh. That's just uncreative. Put some spice in that, call him the Pilferer of Souls, or...I dunno, something, I never really thought about it. I hate to not give alternatives while putting something down besides his original title, which was okay enough, but that's a hard one to work with.

The most common names touted around the forums are "Iron Harbinger" and "Paladin of Pain" xD

I thought it was Iron Revenant.

That is actually pretty awesome, but would require Riot to re-instate his metal characteristics.

Wait was paladin of pain from my post if so Sweet!, if not even better xD. i like Iron Revenant, revenant is a beautiful word. the R&V sounds complemented by the Nt. Iron is a guttural word it goes well the elegant revenant.

Emperor is a fairly good translation from Kaiser (the Holy Roman Emperor was the Kaiser, derived from Caesar, the Dutch Equivelant is keizer.) However, I feel like a translation of his name is poor for a title. Though Lux kinda gets it with the lady of luminosity.

The paladin of pain? Master of maladies (according to his old lore). Master of metal? Metallic murderer? Though what exactly an emperor is, is a discussion I'd rather not get into.
