# How This World Is Organized This wiki is built as a set of nested places, big to small. Every page tells you what it belongs to (look for the **Parent** line near the top) — follow it upward if you want more context, or check the page's linked children to drill down. ## The chain of places - **Galaxy** — the largest scale. Everything else sits inside one. - **Star System** — belongs to a Galaxy. - **Planet** — belongs to a Star System. - **Continent** — belongs to a Planet. - **Region** — belongs to a Continent. Barovia, for example, is a Region. - **Hub** — a settlement (town, village, city) that belongs to a Region. The Village of Barovia is a Hub. - **Place** — a specific building, estate, or district *inside* a Hub. If you can point to which town it's in, it's a Place. ## Points of Interest Not every notable location is inside a town. A **Point of Interest** is a standalone site out in a Region — a ruin, a dungeon, a shrine, a landmark — that isn't part of any settlement. If it's out in the wilds rather than inside a Hub, it's a POI, not a Place. ## People, Quests, and Groups - **People** pages are NPCs. They're linked to whatever location they're usually found in. - **Gods** have their own section under People (**Deities**). Start with [[2-World/People/Deities/The Pantheon.md|The Pantheon]] for an overview of every god, their realm and their faith. - **Quests** track a storyline and where it can be picked up. - **Groups** are factions, orders, or organizations — they aren't tied to one location. ## Quick way to think about it Bigger place → smaller place → smaller place still, all the way down to a single building. Anything that isn't a place at all — a person, a quest, a group — just links to whichever place it's associated with.
