------------------------------
Plot Rules

As far as plot goes, there are really no actual limitations on plot intertwining just as long as you don't lead the thread too far off the main plot course.

The main plot:

There is a major power growing underneath Gensokyo, a brand new race of spirits called Knightlings, creatures tied to the darkness, are growing in strength. Reimu Hakurei, The main heroine of the story is missing, and the rest of Gensokyo has to prepare for an imminent invasion of the Knightling.

(After this plot ends its pretty much up to anyone to lead the thread with there own adventure, event, etc.
but has to keep the Touhou theme of course.)

--------------------------------

Locations

(Break out your reading glasses, this ones going to be a doosie.)

Hakurei Shrine:

The Hakurei Shrine (博麗神社, Hakurei Jinja) is a small, run-down Shinto shrine (神社) that lies in the mountains of the East, isolated from society. It exists on the boundary between this world and Gensokyo. It is simultaneously accessible from both sides, but some unknown circumstances must be met in order to travel from one side to the other.

Scarlet Devil Mansion: The Scarlet Devil Mansion (紅魔館, Koumakan lit. Scarlet Mansion or Scarlet Manor) is the Scarlet family's fancy European-style mansion. It is located on a ridge at the edge Misty Lake. It has relatively few windows for a building its size, which is a beneficial feature, considering the nature of its main tenants, Remilia and Flandre Scarlet (they happen to be vampires). In addition to the vampire sisters, the mansion also houses a large staff working under the Scarlet name. The most powerful staff members are Hong Meiling, who leads the outer guard; Patchouli Knowledge who acts as the librarian and private tutor; and Sakuya Izayoi, who is the maids' leader and acts as Remilia's personal attendant. The inside of Scarlet Devil Mansion is much larger than is apparent from the outside. This is due to Sakuya's ability to manipulate time and space.

Eientei:

(永遠亭, literally House of Eternity) is the name of a large, old-fashioned Japanese mansion hidden deep within the Bamboo Forest of the Lost. It has hallways that lead out into the far reaches of the sky.
Eientei is currently occupied by a large group. Kaguya Houraisan and Eirin Yagokoro have been hiding there since their exile from the Moon. Other occupants include rabbits—lots of them—all under the command of Tewi Inaba and Reisen Udongein Inaba, who protect Kaguya and Eirin from intruders. Every month on the night of the full moon, the residents of Eientei hold a Moon Festival (例月祭, Reigetsusai) offering mochi with medicinal herbs pounded into them. Making mochi is thus the main occupation of the Earth rabbits.

Makai:

(魔界) is the world of demons and basically means "demonic realm", "world of spirits", or "hell". However it is not to be confused with Jigoku which is also known as Hell, as such Demons' World might be a better English phrase for Makai. The entrance is located in a cave in the mountains near the Hakurei Shrine.
This is where the heroines first met Alice Margatroid, apparently before she lived in the Forest of Magic. It is ruled over by Shinki who created Makai.

Hakugyokurou:

(白玉楼, literally Tower of White Jade) is a ghost shrine overlooking the netherworld. It is well known among the afterlife realms for its cherry blossom gardens, and many ghosts come to see them every spring. Yuyuko Saigyouji is the lady of Hakugyokurou, and Youmu Konpaku acts as its gardener. The massive youkai cherry tree, the Saigyou Ayakashi, can also be found lying dormant in the gardens of Hakugyokurou.

The Human Village:

(人里, Hitozato) where most of Gensokyo's humans live. Even though some youkai also visit here to shop, this is the safest place in all of Gensokyo to live. Humans from the outside world that stumble into Gensokyo and decide to stay often have no choice but to live here as they would be unable to handle the youkai outside the village. The village itself has a powerful protector in Keine Kamishirasawa, who is capable of "hiding" the history of the village's existence so that youkai cannot even reach the village, much less attack it. Among the people living at the village are Keine Kamishirasawa (who runs a school here) and Hieda no Akyu. The village has an as of yet unnamed leader, a florist, a tofu shop, etc. There's also the Kirisame-ya second-hand shop here which is owned by Marisa Kirisame's family. Reisen Udongein Inaba is known to come here to sell medicine, and Sakuya Izayoi comes to shop. Most of the furniture in Scarlet Devil Mansion was made by humans in this village.

The Palanquin Ship:

(聖輦船, Seirensen lit. Star-Lotus Ship) was created by Byakuren Hijiri and is captained by Minamitsu Murasa. The ship is able to sail through the sky and even reach Makai. Its crew consist of youkai, notable members being Shou Toramaru, Ichirin Kumoi and Nazrin. Although both Reimu Hakurei and Marisa Kirisame call it a "Flying Treasure Ship", once on board, they find the ship is empty. Byakuren made it as a recreation of the ship from which Minamitsu had fallen overboard, allowing her to no longer be bound to the ocean in which she had drowned. The ship had been buried underground when Byakuren was sealed away by humans, but was brought back up to the surface by a geyser caused by Utsuho.

The Ancient City:

(Kyuuto or Kyuu Miyako, 旧都) is a large village in Hell, It is situated between the bridge to Hell, guarded by Parsee, and the Palace of the Earth Spirits, where Satori and Koishi live. The buildings appear to be modeled after traditional Japanese houses, and the streets appear to be lit with fiery hanging lanterns. Although the city is built underground, it is still able to receive snowfall. Populated primarily by oni, who moved underground long ago in order to avoid humans. Many oni, such as Yuugi Hoshiguma, can easily be found partying in the streets here. Suika Ibuki most likely lived here before moving to Gensokyo. Aside from the oni, many other subterranean youkai can probably be found here on occassions, as Yamame Kurodani mentions that the city doesn't turn away visitors.

Youkai Mountain:

(Youkai no Yama, 妖怪の山) is reputedly the greatest mountain in Gensokyo. At the base of it live the Kappa, such as Nitori Kawashiro, and at the top are the Tengu. It's actually such a dangerous place full of youkai, some of which don't like humans, that humans are normally unable to come here. This mountain is protected by the white wolf tengu, such as Momiji Inubashiri, who patrol it. Also among the tengu living here is Aya Shameimaru, as well as other newspaper-writing tengu. The tengu chief is Lord Tenma. Lately a new arrival from the outside world, the Moriya Shrine, has appeared on the mountain along with a lake. Sanae Kochiya, Kanako Yasaka, and Suwako Moriya all live at or near here. Both the kappa and tengu have come to accept Kanako as a resident god and now live in peace.

Kourindou:

(Kōrindō, lit. Hall of Fragrant Rain, 香霖堂) is an antique store seated between human civilization and the Forest of Magic, run by Rinnosuke Morichika. Though it's a somewhat well-known establishment for folks in the world of Touhou, Rinnosuke rarely (if ever) actually sells anything, despite keeping an exhaustive inventory - he mostly trades and/or puts up with "creative borrowing." On occasion, the store is used for completely non-business ventures, such as cooking and combat. The store has also taken quite a bit of damage over time, thanks to conflicts that involve the store's occupants. The inventory of Kourindou is (presumably) its main draw, as it mostly includes items from the outside world. Teacups, feather pillows, computing magazines, kerosene heaters, and even an iPod have made their way there over time.

The Garden of the Sun:

(太陽の畑) is a field full of sunflowers that is home to numerous fairies and youkai, including Yuuka Kazami. There are a few battles in Phantasmagoria of Flower View that take place here; most of which involving a battle with Yuuka. It's located behind a mountain not too far from the Human Village.

(Are you really still reading the locations? wow that's impressive!)


Genbu Marsh:

(玄武の沢) A marsh named after the legendary tortoise Genbu (玄武). This marsh, consisting of a six-sided rock formation surrounded by mountains, was created while Youkai Mountain was still an active volcano. It's located near the Forest of Magic and Youkai Mountain.

The Great Youkai Forest:

(Youkai no Jukai, 妖怪の樹海) was said to be found at the Youkai Mountain. Hina Kagiyama is one of the youkai who live here. The forest is very dark and there's no sunlight seen in the forest.

The Forest of Magic:

(Mahou no Mori, 魔法の森) is a focal point for all things evil, ominous, and repulsive. It's a place whose true nature is clouded by strange rumours and weird happenstance. Once you look beyond the human-eating plants and inevitable, horrible misfortune that will surely befall all who even think of trespassing into the forest, it's also a fairly nice place to live for people who don't like to be disturbed. Marisa's house, where she keeps the many items she borrows, is located in the forest. She also runs the Kirisame Magic Shop from this location. Alice's house of dolls is also there. Near both their houses is the tree where the Three Mischievous Fairies live. Rounding out the main attractions is Kourindou, Rinnosuke's shop of odds and ends (including many objects from the outside world), which is found on the very border of the forest itself.

The Dream Palace Great Mausoleum:

(Yumedonodaishibyō, 夢殿大祀廟) is a mausoleum that is straight under the Myouren Temple. The Dream Palace Great Mausoleum has many ghosts and spirits, including Soga no Tojiko. The fourth, fifth and sixth stage of Ten Desires takes place at the Dream Palace Great Mausoleum. Toyosatomimi no Miko's mausoleum is located in there.

The Bamboo Forest of the Lost:

(Mayoi no Chikurin, 迷いの竹林) is said to be located in the opposite direction as the Youkai Mountain when looking out from the Human Village. Mokou lives here assisting any people who get lost, while Tewi and other rabbits can be seen wandering in the forest.

The Spring Path:

(春の小径 Haru no komichi) A long path full of flowers and cherry blossom. It seems to be connected to Misty Lake and the Forest of Magic, but not much is really known about this area. The ground is barely visible due to the amount of flowers and cherry blossoms on the surface. It's likely that the name came from the blooming flowers and falling cherry petals.

(Still with me? Good!)

The Moriya Shrine:

(Moriya Jinja, 守矢神社) originated from the outside world and was transported into Gensokyo by Kanako Yasaka during the start of the events of Mountain of Faith. The shrine is now located somewhere near the top of Youkai Mountain by a lake that was also transported with it. As noted in Silent Sinner in Blue, a distinctively thick shimenawa is hung across the entrance of the shrine building, bigger than the one at the Hakurei Shrine. (As an aside, we can see the same design at Suwa Grand Shrine, the original inspiration of Moriya Shrine. The real-world Moriya Shrine—with a different kanji, 洩矢神社—also exists near the Suwa Grand Shrine.) This shrine is home to Sanae Kochiya, whose role is similar to a Shrine Maiden, and its resident gods Kanako Yasaka and Suwako Moriya.

Senkai:

(仙界, lit Hermit World) is a dojo that can infinitely expand into any shape and size. It was built to form a new world for hermits. Toyosatomimi no Miko and her group opposed to living beneath the Myouren Temple, so they built Senkai and moved there. Because Senkai can be expanded at any time, Miko and her group were able to move anywhere in an instant.

The Road of Liminality:

(中有の道) is the road in Gensokyo that leads to the Sanzu River. Despite being mainly traversed by ghosts and spirits, the road has many merchant's stands that attract both the living and the dead to buy their wares. The road's purpose is to fund hell through the living and spirits, including those not sentenced to hell.

The Road of Reconsideration:

(再思の道 Saishi no michi) is a road where the higanbana blooms (especially in the autumn season), connecting the Forest of Magic and Muenzuka. Humans tend to avoid this area due to its distant location, but people contemplating suicide often end up crossing this road, which also leads to a great spot for youkai to hunt. However, one may reconsider their actions after wandering into a field of flowers turning back with a renewed will to live (of course, this is only if a youkai doesn't get to them first). It's secret lies within the higanbana's discomforting toxins that alerts a person's mental survival instincts. In addition, the Gensokyo border seems to be somewhat blurred here.

(And finally.....)

Knightling Ziggurat:

A gigantic monolith that houses most of the "feral" Knightlings (the ones that don't walk around above ground on Gensokyo.) It also guards the entrance to the Forbidden city of the Knightling that lies in the deepest part of the Gensokyo Underground.

----------------------------------------
Main Charaters

Reimu Hakurei:

Reimu is commonly described as easygoing, curious, dutiful, and optimistic — sometimes overly so. Her personality seems sympathetic toward many individuals; there are few characters who remain her rivals past the first encounter). Her shrine has become a moderately popular locale for some of Gensokyo's residents. As the sole maiden of the Hakurei Shrine, she is commonly called upon (or calls it upon herself) to investigate strange occurrences throughout Gensokyo.

Marisa Kirisame:

A human magician, and is one of the most important sub-characters of the series (according to series producer ZUN). Her personality is sometimes described as disagreeable, but in some other titles, straightforward. Either way, she is a very self-confident person that likes to stick her nose into every trouble out of curiosity.

Suika Ibuki:

Currently the only Oni living on the surface in Gensokyo. The rest of the oni live underground in the Ancient City. Like most oni, she has a ridiculous amount of strength and loves to drink sake. Her personality is jolly and childish, as you'd expect from her appearance. She is strong enough to throw large boulders with one hand. Suika loves to party with all her heart. Also, she is one of the 4 Devas of the Mountain along with Yuugi. She is also responsible for the discovery of the Knightling Ziggurat, seeing as how she stumbled upon the sealed entrance during a visit to The Ancient City.

Aya Shameimaru:

Gensokyo's resident reporter, known for writing "slightly" exaggerated news articles about anything that happens in Gensokyo. She's very strong and is probably stronger than she shows since she sometimes "accidentally wins" battles while only meaning to cover a news story. Agreed to help the main characters deal with the Knightling problem in exchange for information for her newspaper for a full season.

Yuugi Hoshiguma:

An oni. Like other oni, she's ridiculously strong, likes strong people, drinks heavily and enjoys raising a ruckus. She, along with Suika, was one of four particularly feared oni long ago. She rushes off to meet an intruder in the underground Ancient City, once part of Hell, and, impressed by their strength, agrees to lead them to the Palace of the Earth Spirits if they'll fight her. Along for the ride with suika, she decides to help out the main characters (probably to show of or something....)

That's all the important stuff out of the way.
