Generation Sub-command

This module implements the gen sub-command used to quickly produce sample data for the various generators in lib_efo. The command has no side-effects beyond printing the generated data; it is intended for interactive use or for embedding in scripts.

Available sub-commands

Sub‑command	What it prints	Typical output
character	Character names (short or long)	Eldric the Bold
event	Random event ideas	A mysterious fog descends over the town
town	Town names	Glimmerdale
exotic	Exotic character names	Zar‑nith the Wanderer
calamity	Calamity names	Great Plague of 1743
blocker	Blocker names	Stone Wall of the North

All sub‑commands share the same options:

• -n / --number – how many items to generate (default = 1)
• --short – print the short form when applicable (ignored for event, exotic, calamity, blocker)
• --name – output only the name string, no extra formatting (good for scripting)

Usage

# 3 long character names
gen character -n 3

# 1 short town name
gen town -n 1 --short

# 5 event ideas, only the names
gen event -n 5 --name

# A single exotic character name
gen exotic -n 1

# 2 calamity names
gen calamity -n 2

# 4 blocker names, short form
gen blocker -n 4 --short

Tip – redirect or pipe the output:
gen character -n 10 > chars.txt
