Data annotation has been a major part of NLP research. Labelling entities and even categorizing them is useful for NLP tasks such as semantic evaluation. While annotated data by both experts and non-experts alike are useful in NLP tasks, it is both time-consuming and costly. Another factor that affects data annotation is consistency. If the annotations are inconsistent, the effort and resources spent on the annotation task are wasted. To ensure consistency, apart from annotator agreements, it is possible to enforce constraints using a specialized app for the annotation task. Such an app can ensure that the notations are consistent, and the labels can be pre-defined/ restricted. Which can reduce the complexity and ease the annotation process. We present such an annotation software that is used to annotate entities in Dungeons and Dragons lore, specifically those found in the Forgotten Realms Fandom Wiki.
