Campaigns

The top-level container. A campaign represents a complete D&D game — the world, the story, the characters.

Field	Description
`id`	UUID, auto-generated
`name`	Campaign name (required)
`description`	Optional notes
`archived_at`	Soft-delete timestamp (null = active)
`created_at`	Creation timestamp
`updated_at`	Last modification timestamp

Archiving a campaign hides it from the default list but preserves all data. Deleting a campaign is permanent and cascades to all children.

When you create a campaign, Mimir automatically generates 11 template documents (Campaign Pitch, Starting Scenario, World Primer, Character Guidelines, Table Expectations, Character Integration, Campaign Bible, Safety Tools, House Rules, Player Secrets, Faction Overview).

Characters

Both player characters (PCs) and non-player characters (NPCs) use the same data model. The is_npc flag distinguishes them.

Field	Description
`id`	UUID
`campaign_id`	Parent campaign
`name`	Character name (required)
`is_npc`	Integer: 0 = PC, 1 = NPC
`player_name`	Real player name (PCs only)

`dexterity`	Dexterity score (default 10)
`constitution`	Constitution score (default 10)

Light Sources (light_sources table) — Dynamic lights with grid position, bright/dim radius, color, and active state.

Fog Revealed Areas (fog_revealed_areas table) — Rectangles tracking which map areas have been revealed to players (x, y, width, height). Written by the fog reveal commands (reveal_rect, reveal_circle, reveal_all); these are currently not surfaced in the UI — live fog rendering is computed from PC token vision instead (see Vision System).

Points of Interest (map_pois table) — Named markers with descriptions, icons, colors, and visibility at specific grid positions.
