Places, landmarks and locations

Every setting needs an address. This collection names the places stories happen, from taverns, castles, and forests to planets, kingdoms, and city districts, along with everyday spots like cafes, hospitals, and bookstores. Naming styles shift to match the location, so a dungeon sounds nothing like a flower shop.
