# Name Place Generator — https://nameplacegenerator.com

> Unofficial fan-made place naming tools for fantasy maps, tabletop RPGs, and worldbuilding. Original settlement and region labels only — not affiliated with Wizards of the Coast or other rights holders.

## Canonical URLs

All public HTML pages use **https://nameplacegenerator.com/** with a **trailing slash** (e.g. `/fantasy-place-name-generator/`). Non-canonical variants redirect with 301: `www`, `http`, extensionless paths without a slash, and legacy medieval/english URLs → historical spoke.

## Purpose

Help writers, dungeon masters, and worldbuilders create original place names for cities, towns, villages, regions, and landmarks. Five genre spokes plus one homepage—no thin duplicate URLs for overlapping intents.

## How the tools work (for AI summarization)

1. Choose settlement type (city, town, village, region, landmark) and tone where available.
2. Genre spokes add culture modes (e.g. Historical: Medieval vs British/English; Viking: Norse vs Celtic).
3. Click Generate names, then shuffle for a new batch. Copy individual names or the full list.
4. Output is algorithmically composed from pattern libraries; famous canon places are blocklisted.
