[QUOTE="Engilbrand, post: 4143112, member: 44184"] While there has been plenty of talk about the merits and flaws of a POL setting, I've seen very little on actual locations. As such, I thought that this might be a fun thread for people to put their places in. What areas have you already started creating? What's the area look like? Who lives there? Mine: Five Point Five Point is an area of 5 towns in the form of a pentagram. It takes roughly one day to travel from one city to the next, though there is an area in the middle of the towns known as Crossroads. The roads leading to Crossroads are straight lines. It is a large area with only one defining feature; a fountain in the middle. The fountain is pure white and beautifully decorated. There are 5 gargoyle heads at the top of an obelisk in the middle, each head pointing in a different direction. The mouths are open and a constant stream of pure water comes from them. The fountain looks perfect and it is impossible to damage. Crossroads is a big enough area for the towns to get together every year for a festival. To the south-east is a river touching a town. The northernmost town lies on a lake. The eastern city is the closest to mountains. North- Bracken- This is a fishing village. It is comprised mostly of humans, and halflings are the largest minority. Its major trade is in food to the other villages. East- Trin- This village is famous for crafts and works of art. It is predominantly dwarves, though there is a decent number of dragonborn. Most materials come from the mountains nearby. Its major trade is in crafts and tools. South East- Moor- This town is on the river. It is mostly populated by halflings. This is also the largest and most prosperous town, as most commerce with the outside world goes through Moor. South West- Kuhn- This town is predominantly elves and dragonborn. It is known for guides and soldiers. It is the main source of protection for the rest of Five Point. Mercenaries and hunters come from here. West- Litchen- This is the intellectual hub of Five Point. It is mainly Eladrin and Tiefling, though not by much. The town is split between farmers and scholars. It has a "University" for the rich to study at. Wizards come from the university, though it's a simple matter to send a child there if they show enough promise. The farming community provides a large amount of "dirt" (ground-grown) food to the rest of Five Point. Most of the surrounding areas are overgrown forests. The areas within the pentagram, though, are tamed. These forests are hunted regularly and preserved from destruction. The outskirt forests, though, contain small tribes of goblinoids and the occasional aberration. [/QUOTE]
