-------- How To Use

The buttons along the left spine start the process, by choosing either a creature type, or the city button. 

The nationality drop down should be used before generating an npc or city, as this is used when setting the npc or city nationality (and thus uses a different pool of names for the random names)

If choosing the creature type button, it will be generating a single NPC at a time of the appropriate faction type when the faction button is pressed, which can then export via the button at the bottom, and this exports to a png file that can easily be printed or accessed by most applications for easy viewing during play.

If choosing the city generation button, two fields are required before generating a city. The Name Field, which will be the name of the city and used for the csv export filename. And the Population. The Population is used to calculate the number of creatures to generate (with certain creatures being different fractions of the population), and thus the population figure entered should be fairly high, based on real city populations.

It is worth noting that this does not create every individual in a city, the numbers of most creatures should be somewhere in the region of an expected population of each creature type, however in the case of mortals, it just gives a list of interesting characters. If the creatures exported are too high or too low for a desired amount, the population number can be altered to aim towards a more acceptable amount.

All png and csv files are exported into a directory as follows
