When AI Uses Seeds

NPC Details Generation (Strong/Elite/Boss/Mythic Tier Only)

1. System checks if NPC tier is in ['strong', 'elite', 'boss', 'mythic']
2. If yes, AI randomly selects one author seed
3. AI randomly selects one character archetype
4. Both are added as context messages to shape personality and description
5. Trivial/weak/average tier NPCs do NOT use archetypes

Location Details Generation

1. AI uses location archetypes to guide atmosphere and detail generation
2. Archetypes provide Atmosphere, Tensions, Patterns, and Secrets

Region Details Generation

1. AI uses region archetypes to guide Geography, Dynamics, History, and Atmosphere
2. Helps create consistent regional themes

Encounter Generation

1. AI draws from encounterElements categories
2. Uses bulleted lists within categories as inspiration
