A good region description is
- Neutral
- Objective
- Fits within the BM style
Which means it shouldn't:
- be an "advertisement" for the region, the realm or the duke
- contain misinformation or spurious claims
- have information that will be outdated quickly (sooner or later, some lord will forget to update it, if not you then your successor)
- repeat information that's displayed on the region details page anyway (e.g. population numbers, realm it belongs to, name of the lord, etc.)
Some Ideas
Here are some ideas to flesh out the region description:
- Add some pure flavour info. Invent a local drink, folklore, custom or other things that add atmosphere
- Explain some of the oddities of the region - why does it border on region X? Why does the woodland region contain a slip of rural? Why does the city expand further than other regions? Why is it marked as a badlands type?
