How Locations Work
In the first version of the Triad Weyrs database, places came in three levels:
Territories were the areas covered by a Weyr
Locations were the Weyrs and Holds
Groups at a Weyr consisted of the different Wings and the Lower Caverns in a Weyr, while at a Hold they consisted of the hold's residents, crafters, and any Halls at that Hold.
The new system is more flexible. There are two types of places that can be stored: locations and groups.
Locations are places that can contain other sub-locations, or groups of personas - for example, Dolphin Cove Weyr is a location. It contains other locations (such as Emerald Falls Hold, which is in Dolphin Cove's territory) and groups of personas (such as the different Wings. Caution: When changing a Location to a group its detail information will be wiped. So, save the information to a new FAQ for the former site before changing it to a Group.
Groups can contain personas - for example, there is a group of Hold Residents at Emerald Falls Hold. All personas must be part of a group. Groups can't contain other groups or locations, and must always exist at a location.
The advantage of this system is that it's not restricted to three levels. The Halls are now locations in their own right rather than groups at a Hold, and further sub-locations could even be added at the Halls if necessary!
Locations each have their own page on the Triad Weyrs website. Various details about locations (such as their histories, and their economies) can be entered using the location editing form, which can be reached from the box on the left-hand side of their page.
Each location also has a page listing its residents by their group, and an individual calendar detailing the weather and the events at that location.
