# Add characters and places to the Codex

Keep the people and places of your story next to the text that mentions them.

## Steps

1. **Open the Codex** Choose World, then Codex.
2. **Create an entry** Use New entry and choose what it is: a character, a location, a faction, an object, a concept or an event.
3. **Name it in your scenes** When the name appears in the manuscript, the entry counts the mention, so you can see where each character appears.
4. **Relate entries** Link who belongs to which faction or which place sits in which kingdom.

An entry can also hold notes, pictures and events. Continuity checks compare what you record there with what the manuscript says.
