Why it exists
Most generators stop after displaying a list. Mythos Forge is designed around the next decision: shortlist a result, build the person behind it, map the place it belongs to, and keep those pieces together.
How results are made
Name tools combine curated sound components with rules written for each subject. A Viking-inspired result does not reuse the same sound bank as a dragon or a town. Character and writing tools use edited idea pools organised by focus. Name generation remains procedural; the optional Scene Forge is the only place that can make a short external AI request.
“Suggested tone” is a creative cue, not a claim of historical meaning or authentic etymology. Cultural and historical names deserve separate research before publication.
