Bind and Move Characters

Assign Characters to a World and move them between Locations.

Summon Worlds · 2 min read

Place a Character inside a World’s Location so the Character becomes part of that connected setting. You can also move a bound Character between Locations in the same World.

Add a Character to a Location

  1. Open the World.
  2. Open the Location where the Character should live.
  3. Select Characters, next to Landmarks.
  4. Tap +.
  5. Choose Create New, From Library, or From World.
  6. Select the Character.
  7. If importing from your Library, review Import to this Location? and tap Import.
  8. Confirm that the Character appears inside the Location.

Importing an unbound Character into a Location also imports that Character into the World.

Move a Character between Locations

  1. Open the destination Location.
  2. Open Characters and tap +.
  3. Choose From World.
  4. In the Move Character list, check the Character’s Bound status and Current Location.
  5. Select the Character.
  6. Tap the count-based move button, such as Move 1 Character.
  7. Confirm the move when prompted.

This workflow moves a Character between Locations in the same World. It does not establish that a Character can be transferred between separate Worlds.

Troubleshooting

  • The Character is not in From Library: it may already be bound; try From World and check its current Location.
  • The Character does not appear after importing: return to the destination Location, reopen Characters, and allow the import to refresh.
  • The controls are missing: confirm that you own the World or have the necessary Shared World permission.
