-Best of all would be to create the needed icon pages and include them normally. As a practical matter, however, there are already many existing ones that have not been used even once let alone widely.
+**Note:** On the actual icon pages, the icon is placed in the label of a link. In an ad-hoc instance such as this, however, there may be no ''icons:pages:realms:keep_tarkain'' to which to link.
+Best of all would be to create the needed icon pages according to the [[new_icon_procedure]] and include them normally. As a practical matter, however, there are already many existing ones that have not been used even once let alone widely. Heck, there aren't even any cities in Chybisa, but [[.pages:realms:city_chybisa|there's an icon for them]].
+=== Vathrans and thrans follow map symbols ===
+There isn't a good equivalence between Ivinian fortified settlements and Hârnic ones. Instead, they are related to castle, keep, and manor icons as they are marked on maps: those having a keep symbol on a map get a keep icon, etc. For example, [[:works:harn:orbaal:zynholm]] gets the [[.pages:realms:keep_orbaal]] while [[:works:harn:orbaal:genheim]] gets the [[.pages:realms:manor_orbaal]].
 === Locations described in the work get the most apt icons ===
-Articles detailing a location smaller than an entire settlement get the appropriate realm-specific location icon. For example, the article on [[:works:harn:kaldor:silver_way_inn]] in Kiban has the [[.:pages:realms:location_kaldor]] icon.

 Again, if one does not yet exist, [[.pages:location|The generic location icon]] will work.

 Series of maps, such as the [[:works:atlas_harnica:]], have their own map icons: [[.pages:atlas_harnica]], [[.pages:atlas_ivinia]], and [[.pages:atlas_kelestia]].
-In addition to [[.pages:maps|the generic map icon]], some region-specific and realm-specific ones have been made as well. Use the most suitable one.
