This box should have the basic info for the town, including the picture from the world map, the campaign, the type of location (Town/Outpost/Mission location), and all the areas that you can get to by exiting this area.

In the case of any location that has additional areas with the same name (mission or explorable areas) use the appropriate templates: mission info and/or explorable info.

Henchmen should also have their level listed and the symbol of their profession before their name. An example:

Trivia
Trivia notes can be added here. Omit if this section is empty.

Categories
All the categories must be listed right at the bottom. For each town, two categories are expected: a category for the region it is in (such as ), and the location type within a campaign (such as  or  ).
