Locations
Locations represent places in your story world — cities, buildings, rooms, regions, planets. They support hierarchical nesting, sensory detail profiles, associated images, and placement on interactive maps.
Creating a Location
Command palette: Storyteller Suite: Create new location
Dashboard: Locations tab > Create location button
Location Fields
Basic Information
- Name — the location's display name
- Type — city, building, region, dungeon, wilderness, and so on (customizable)
- Description — a free-form markdown field for the general description
- Associated image — a vault image path displayed in the location modal
Hierarchy
Locations can be nested. Set a Parent location to place this location inside another — for example, a tavern inside a city, or a room inside a building. Child locations are listed on the parent's page.
Sensory Profile
A detailed breakdown of the location's sensory atmosphere:
- Sight — visual details, lighting, colors
- Sound — ambient noise, echoes, silence
- Smell — scents and odors
- Touch — textures, temperature, physical sensations
- Taste — any flavors in the air or environment
Entities at this Location
A list of characters, events, items, cultures, economies, magic systems, groups, and scenes associated with this location. Entities can be added from the location modal or by placing them on the map.
Custom Fields
Additional key-value pairs for location-specific data — elevation, population, governing body, and so on.
Map Integration
Locations can be placed on an interactive map as markers. Open a map from the Maps tab, enter placement mode, and click to drop a location pin. Clicking a location marker on the map opens a popup with the location's name, description, and a button to open its note.
Locations can also be linked to their own dedicated map — for example, a city location that has a city-level map. This creates a portal link: clicking the location marker on the parent map navigates to the child map.
See Maps for more details.
