About NPCAtlas
A field guide to the characters we play, not the people we pass.
What is a spawn?
In a game it is where a character appears. In this atlas it is a writing prompt: if a tote bag contained three microphones and no groceries, what sort of wizard would own it? Austin supplies the scenery. We invent the characters.
How to read the map
Editorial lore is written fiction. Community sightings are moderated contributions about archetypes in broad areas, not verified encounters. A sponsored placement is a separate, labeled business collaboration. None of these measures crowds or tells you where someone is now.
