A short blurb about this location, generally talking about how to get to this area, entrances and exits, other unique information.
For wilderness locations, this section should have bolded text to indicate sub-sections (not using the headers). These sections should be called "Areas of Interest" and "Fast Travel".
The '''LOCATION NAME''' is a general location with [[fishing]] spots, [[monsters]], chests and various forgable materials. The initial entrance to this area is located LOCATION. THE EXITS ARE ABC, DEF. '''Areas of Interest'''<br> The player will find INTERESTING THING in this region, HOW IT CAN BE INTERACTED WITH. WHAT IT DOES. '''Fast Travel'''<br> There is no fast travel in the LOCATION.
For romance NPC houses, this section should have bolded text to indicate a sub-section (not using the headers).
'''Availability'''<br>
Each romance candidate's house is generally only available to the user at certain times, and each has a unique line for trying to enter their house outside of these times. If the player visits after the house has closed for the day and has a high enough romance level with this character, they will trigger the [[NPC-NAME/Events#Late Night Event|late night date event]].

{{Shop/header|shop=SHOP NAME HERE}}
{{Shop|ITEM|COST|CURRENCY}}
{{Shop|ITEM|COST|CURRENCY}}
{{Shop/footer}}
For more than one vendor in the same location:

===VENDOR 1===
{{Shop/header|shop=SHOP NAME HERE}}
{{Shop|ITEM|COST|CURRENCY}}
{{Shop|ITEM|COST|CURRENCY}}
{{Shop/footer}}
===VENDOR 2===
{{Shop/header|shop=SHOP NAME HERE}}
{{Shop|ITEM|COST|CURRENCY}}
{{Shop|ITEM|COST|CURRENCY}}
