This template is for use in any article about any specific location within the World of Greyhawk campaign setting such as individual geographical feature (such as the Causeway of Fiends); or others like a cape, cave, vale, area, regions or former regions, historical ruins, fortification, or other places which are not covered by Template:Settlement or Template:Realm which are used for cities, towns, kingdoms, provinces or districts.

Usage

Sub-templates

There are some sub-templates of this one, including Template:Location/Body of water and Template:Location/Road. Use these (or any other sub-templates) which are more applicable, in preference to this more general template.

Infobox usage

Copy and paste the section below at the top of the article, and fill in the information areas. The image and caption parameters are optional, but are preferred.

"Name" is only necessary if it differs substantially from the Page Name. Otherwise, it is automatically generated.

The recommended image size is a width of 250px so that it will completely fill the infobox without increasing its size.

If any fields are left undefined they will not appear.

Add wiki links to parameters by putting the name of the place or other pages inside double brackets, [[like this]].

Do not add wiki links to alignments.
