How the world grows

Every room and every person lives in a simple data file. To add a room, give it a name, an area, a description, and its exits. To add a person, give them a name, a title, and a branching conversation. The engine, the narration, and the atlas pick them up on their own. That is how this map reaches three hundred rooms and two hundred and fifty-nine people.
