Craft lively, interactive NPCs right within your game—experience immersive JRPG-style conversations, exciting quests, unique shops, intricate reputation systems, thrilling combat, and detailed daily schedules.
Introducing WH: NPCs
Create engaging shopkeepers, dynamic quest givers with intricate storylines, vigilant town guards, formidable bosses, and wandering travelers who follow their own daily routines with WH: NPCs. This innovative mod empowers you to design all these characters directly in-game. Simply grab the Memorion Feather, interact with any NPC, and unlock a comprehensive editing interface where you can craft dialogue trees, manage shops, build reputation systems, set up combat scenarios, define poses, and arrange schedules—all accessible through a streamlined graphical user interface.

📖 Origins of the Name
Over the years, a group of friends and I cultivated a private server that blossomed into a rich fantasy world complete with its own lore, factions, and stories, which we designated as Without Honor. My desire to create NPCs fitting into this narrative—characters I could develop and breathe life into—led to the creation of this mod. This tool is designed to fulfill those creative aspirations, presented for you to enjoy. Helping to guide this journey is Alessia, the mascot of the mod, made available as a built-in NPC skin that represents a fragment of our universe that you can integrate into yours.
This mod is crafted for RPG enthusiasts, adventure map designers, and anyone seeking to add a touch of vibrancy to their gaming experience.
