create-location

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.
