<p><strong>Using the Sample Locations</strong></p>
|
||
<p>The following pages contain ten complete natural fantasy locations, which you can draw ideas from or place directly in your campaign, both during and after World Creation – for example, when traversing an unexplored map region.</p>

<h2>Location Structure</h2>
|
||
<p>Each location entry is structured to provide comprehensive details for running a session. The components are:</p>
|
||
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>
|
||
<strong>At a glance.</strong> This box provides a synopsis of the location: its keywords, the themes it symbolizes, the terrain around it, and its elemental forces, as well as suggestions for dangers and discoveries in the area.
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
<strong>Questions for the group.</strong> In Fabula Ultima, you should not introduce elements disconnected from the group. These questions give depth to the location and allow Players to have creative input. Usually, the Game Master will ask the questions – and they should make it a habit of doing so even when introducing locations that do not come from an Atlas.
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
<strong>Typical features.</strong> This section provides examples of characters and other elements that can typically be found in this sort of location. Feel free to take these and use them in other similar locations of your own devising.
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
<strong>Position.</strong> Here, you will find suggestions on where to place this type of location, both geographically and in the campaign’s timeline – towards a campaign’s start or end, for instance.
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
<strong>The Villains' plans.</strong> This section provides suggestions on why Villains might be interested in this or other similar locations.
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
<strong>Story hooks.</strong> Lastly, this rich section details points of interest ($$), mysteries (bb) and help requests ((??)), which the Game Master can use in whole or in part during play.
|
||
</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
|
||
<h3>Guidance for Players and Game Masters</h3>
|
||
<p>Players and Game Masters alike are welcome to read these sample locations – they will help the group attune to the natural fantasy style, and can provide you with inspiration when needed.</p>
