Made for Dylanvir LLC · about these images
The painted portraits and landscapes were created here with Codex image generation from our original prompts, written for this collection. They are original generated illustrations, not photographs or reproductions of archival portraits.
Each house portrait accompanies a person already named in its account. Faces, clothing, and settings are imagined; a realistic painting does not establish a historical likeness. Entries without a named figure keep their text without an invented representative.
The flags and heraldic drawings are original illustrations for Dylanvir LLC, drawn with Codex after their linked historical references. The designs themselves belong to their historical or living traditions. Captions distinguish flags, coats of arms, parts of arms, and badges, and identify the period and use shown.
This reading keeps the wording of the atlas's public house entry. The people named here are those in this entry, not a complete family tree. About the sources ↗
