Temporary Locations - yes or no?

[shadowblack]

Some map locations are temporary - they are available only during certain events/adventures, and then disappear. Should they be added to the list of map locations (http://sryth.wikia.com/wiki/Kingdom_of_Tysa), or not? Crow Hill and Dor-Droat are two temporary locations that are on the list. Eastfel and Daggerspire are temporary locations that are not. I don't see why only some locations are on the list - either all should be, or none. So what should we do? Add the missing locations, or leave only the permanent ones?

You can share your thoughts here or on the wiki, on this talk page (http://sryth.wikia.com/wiki/Talk:Kingdom_of_Tysa#Temporary_Locations_-_yes_or_no.3F).

I say yes as long as they are marked temp.

The more complete the Wiki, the better.

I agree with Scout, as long as it is clear that they are temporary locations.

There is a disclaimer at the beginning of the expanded map describing temporary locations. We can probably just use it and mark temp locations with asterisks. I'll go ahead and do that and add the missing temp locations mentioned above.

Perhaps a better term might be "Mission-Specific" rather than "temporary." The GM might wind up recycling them in a future adventure.

[Young Ned]

I agree with documenting them -- as Scout says, the more complete, the better. Tex has a good point about the terminology, too.

[thingirl]

Agreed. "We" put them up and mark them somehow as "Mission-Specific" or something.

I had added missing locations and marked 'temporary' locations accordingly. Here is the updated disclaimer for the section:

* Be aware that some of these places are only available after a certain quest is unlocked or completed, and some places (marked with an asterisk) are only accessible during quests.

So the marked locations are 'mission-specific' places. But also note that there may be another category of locations being 'mission-triggered' that stay permanent afterwards, like Adrimar's.. (I think?)

Feel free to update the article with changes, such as e.g. double asterisk for the 2nd category. But I think as we have it now, it probably meets the needs of most users.

I think the locations that are permanently left on the map are correctly explained by the "some of these places are only available after a certain quest is unlocked or completed" disclaimer on the page. Good work, by the way.
