+name: create-location
+description: Create a new Region or City note for the Baltun'ia campaign from the Location Framework Template — placed correctly in the Regions hierarchy, wikilinked, and added to its parent's index. Use when the DM wants to add a region, province, city, town, or settlement (e.g. "add a new city to Jessergate", "create the region north of the mountains", "make a fishing village in The Weald"). For a specific building/site inside a city use create-poi instead.

+
+# Create a Region or City
+
+First read `.claude/skills/_shared/vault-conventions.md` and
+`z_templates/Framework Templates/Location Framework Template.md`. Look at a real
+region (`2. World Almanac/Regions of Baltun'ia/Jessergate/Jessergate.md`) and a
+real city (`.../Jessergate/Voxiu/Voxiu.md`) — note the **condensed** real-world
+style: regions lead with Geography / Weather / Specific History / Notable Cities
+(`[[links]]`) / Based Species (`[[links]]`); cities lead with **Type** + Notable
+Features, a prose intro, then Governance / Economy (often a pipe table) /
+Defenses / Culture.
+
+## Steps
+
+1. **Region or city?** Decide (ask if unclear):
+   - Region → `Regions of Baltun'ia/<Region>/<Region>.md`
+   - City/town → `<Region>/<City>/<City>.md` (confirm which region it sits in;
+     wikilink and cross-add to the region's Notable Cities).
+
+2. **Mine canon.** Check the parent region note, the Regions Index, the Economy
+   table, and recaps for anything already said about this place. Stay consistent
+   with neighboring climate/species/politics.
+
+3. **Draft the geography, climate, type, and economy** yourself — these follow
+   from the world map and surrounding regions.
+
+4. **Collaborate on the creative pivots.** Use AskUserQuestion for:
+   - Governance / who holds power, and which faction dominates
+   - The defining tension or current conflict here
+   - 1–2 plot hooks and any secret tied to the ley-line conspiracy
+   Offer options that fit the region's established character.
+
+5. **Write the file** using the condensed local style (not the bare template
+   verbatim). Wikilink species, neighboring regions, factions, and notable
+   NPCs. Use a pipe table for any economic breakdown.
+
+6. **Index it.** Add a `[[wikilink]]` from the parent (region → Regions Index;
+   city → its region's Notable Cities). Flag sub-locations/NPCs worth stubbing.
