Resources

The rest of the toolkit.

Worldbuilding doesn’t happen in one app. These are tools we actually use and recommend, and they all pair well with Mythra. Nothing here is sponsored; nobody paid to be on this list.

Maps

Inkarnate

Subscription

A map making tool I have used on and off since its debut. Wonderful use case, perfect execution.

Canvas of Kings

One-time purchase

Map making program. I typically use it for cities and building layouts.

Wonderdraft

One-time purchase

I have not used this one yet, but I know several who swear by it.

Azgaar's Fantasy Map Generator

Free

The MOTHER of all maps. If you're like me and need the whole, cohesive, realistic world before digging into the smaller details, it's perfect.

Generators

Fantasy Name Generators

Free

The OG. You probably already know about this one, but just in case you don't…

Conlang

Mythra's language module imports Vulgarlang exports directly, or you can build a language from scratch in Sounds & Structure.

Vulgarlang

One-time purchase

I do not know of a more extensive language builder than Vulgarlang. 100% worth it if you need a realistic conlang.

PolyGlot

Free

A desktop based program. Free and open source!

Visual

Pinterest

Free

Always a good place to start. It is, of course, saturated with AI now; something to be aware of.

Unsplash & Pexels

Free

Both have free photography, great for moodboards and reference.

Character commissions

Paid

Good places to get commissions of your characters done by real artists.
