== World Map ==
This Atlas is built using [https://www.semantic-mediawiki.org Semantic MediaWiki] with the [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Widgets Widgets extension], getting mapping information from a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geographic_information_system GIS] backend. The map widgets are built with [https://www.mapbox.com/ Mapbox].

The map is created in [https://www.qgis.org/ QGIS] using [https://github.com/Azgaar/Fantasy-Map-Generator Azgaar's Fantasy Map Generator] as procedural generator for the large-scale. A simple script adds random details to the cells to increase the visual detail and make things less blocky at higher resolutions.

== Town and City Maps ==
[http://fantasycities.watabou.ru Watabou's Fantasy City Generator] is used as the procedural generator for the small-scale maps, then converted to GeoJSON using a script I wrote by myself. The result is imported into QGIS and Centroids are determined in order to place building labels. A small amount of cleanup work is also necessary.

For the businesses and other details, I am using both https://www.welshpiper.com/medieval-demographics-online/ and https://www.rpglibrary.org/utils/meddemog/ as well as several random name generators.


== Heraldry Generators used ==
There are many generators for heraldic shields, flags, etc - but not all of them follow the actual rules of heraldry. For a fantasy world, that is sometimes desired and sometimes not. Here are the generators that I have used:
