Hello! I have a question about Place creation. Are you supposed to select 3 natures in a specific way? Is a Place supposed to be a larger concept of several smaller locations within it? Like, it's hard to imagine an Island Workshop Glen. Was that what was intended? The description for how to create a place is really vague and the example barely covered the process.

When writing in the Place character sheet, there's only 4 lines for Aesthetic Elements, but each Nature requires you to choose 2, so shouldn't there be 6 lines? Or did I misunderstand how these are supposed to be composed?

Thanks!

Hi! To answer your questions to the best of my ability:

There is no specific rules about selecting natures — you can roll randomly or pick, or something else.
A place is a unified location tied together thematically by the natures selected. So for example, an Island Workshop Glen might be a Greek-inspired cliff-covered isle (the island) overflowing with vibrant life due to island biodiversity (a metaphorical glen) and inhabited by an order of weaver-nuns (the workshop). Or maybe it's a village built around an artistic workshop deep in the woods and surrounded by rare butterflies, that is cut off from the rest of civilization. Or something else!
There should be 6 lines. I don't know why there are only 4.

Wow thank you for the amazingly fast response! I think I understand Natures and Places now; that they're more guidelines than literal places. Thank you!
