A Location represents any defined physical space within your world that holds significance, whether by name, function, or the events that transpire there. It provides the vital context and setting for Characters, Institutions, and Events. Examples range from vast planets like Arrakis, to specific establishments such as The Krusty Krab, or even a familiar local winery.

World Integration

Locations are the shape of your world, and are itself drivers of action: they have a range of dynamic properties for economic and political integration with other elements.

Locations can be nested using parent_location: a shop within a city , which is within a region. The buildings field can link to other Locations that are considered structures within the main Location.
