Enzo is the codex's resident scholar — a chatbot who has read every published page of this wiki and can answer questions about Venturia, its people, its factions, the campaign so far, and D&D 5e rules. He lives at the Enzo tab inside the app and is also embedded as a widget on every codex page.
This guide covers what he can and can't do, and how to get the most out of him.
What Enzo knows
Everything published in this codex. If a page exists — a character, a location, a faction, a piece of lore, a class change — Enzo has read it and can summarize it, quote it, or connect it for you. He also has the D&D 5e (2024) rules: classes, conditions, spells, items, monsters, feats, backgrounds.
What he doesn't know:
- Anything the DM hasn't published. No spoilers, no NPC secrets, no plot reveals. If he doesn't say it, it's because it isn't in the codex — not because he's being coy.
- What happened at your table unless someone wrote it up in the Updates section.
- Other tables, other campaigns, or homebrew that isn't in the wiki.
- Final rulings. He'll quote the 5e rules, but the DM rules at the table.
If you ask about something the codex doesn't cover, he'll tell you so. He won't invent answers.
How to ask
Plain English. Ask the question you'd ask another player who happened to have read the whole wiki:
- "Who runs the Mirrorwrights' guild?"
- "What's Caravel's deal with their parents?"
- "What do the Fog Wardens actually do at the Overlook?"
- "Remind me of the rules for the Help action."
- "What do we know about the Autumn Masquerade?"
- "How does the Verdigris family fit into the city?"
The more specific the question, the better the answer. If you're looking for a person, a faction, or a place, name it. He searches by text similarity to your question, so vague questions get vague answers.
Mode commands
You can change how Enzo behaves by typing slash commands directly into the chat. Each command is a toggle — /something on turns it on, /something off turns it off. Your settings persist across messages on the same device (saved in your browser).
/brainstorm on — character-development partner
The big one. Use this when you're building or refining a player character. Enzo stops being a fact-bot and becomes a creative partner: he'll give you 2–4 different directions, ask good follow-up questions, suggest ties to Venturia's factions and locations, and help you fill out backstory, voice, and motivation.
The deal: in brainstorm mode he's not a source of truth. He doesn't know secrets, he won't make canon, and every suggestion he offers is framed as "an idea to take to your DM." You're authoring your character. The DM decides what's actually true in the world.
Turn it off with /brainstorm off to go back to fact-bot mode.
/rules on / /rules off
Pulls D&D 5e rules into his search. Useful when you're asking about a class feature, a spell, a condition, or a feat and you don't want him distracted by lore. Off by default — campaign content takes priority.
/yasqueen on — gossip mode
Same knowledge, much more sass. Treats lore reveals like tea, NPCs like people he's spilling about, factions like clique drama. Periodt.
/fabio on — romance novel narrator
Enzo as a Fabio-inspired romance novel narrator. Breathtakingly dramatic. Everything is bathed in moonlight or pulsing with forbidden energy. Good for when you want the answer but you also want to be declared to.
/rocky on — Project Hail Mary mode
Enzo as Rocky, the Eridian engineer from Andy Weir's Project Hail Mary. Broken English. Refers to himself in the third person. Calls you friend. Fist!
The vibes are mutually exclusive — turning one on turns the others off. /brainstorm owns the same slot, so toggling brainstorm clears any active vibe and vice versa.
Tips
- He's dry on purpose. The default mode is tuned to surface facts, not speculate. He won't dramatize, "connect dots," or guess at hidden meaning. If you want more interpretive, generative answers, turn on
/brainstorm onand ask there. - Follow-ups work. He remembers the last ~40 messages of conversation, so you can dig deeper without re-explaining what you're asking about.
- He'll cite what he found. Internally he pulls "[DETAILED REFERENCE]" entries from the codex when answering — when an answer surprises you, the named source is the page to verify against.
- Trust the silence. When he says "I don't have information about that," that's the truth — not modesty.
- Install him as an app. On mobile or desktop, the loremaster page can be installed as a PWA. Look for "Add to Home Screen" or "Install" in your browser menu, and he'll be one tap away during sessions.
When to ask your DM instead
- "Is X actually true?" — DM only knows.
- "What's really going on with Y?" — DM only knows.
- "Can I do Z mechanically?" — DM rules at the table.
- "Is my character concept OK?" — always run the final pitch by the DM, regardless of what Enzo said in brainstorm.
Enzo is a tool for navigating what's already public. The DM owns the story.
