Re the naming of IDs, you shouldn't go off of the IDs; instead, parse
the roles first, and match the roles to the IDs to which they apply.
It probably would make sense to standardize on the IDs as a matter of
code cleanliness - if someone wants to take a shot at that as a PR
against the manual, go for it.
Seven Pillars does indeed have that many illustrators - it's heavy with
illustrations, all by many different people.
