The Place

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/4gothamcity.png

Yes, I know what the show's called, but where is it set?!

This is one of the simplest ways of naming a work of fiction. Like Character Title, where the story is named after the main character in the story, The Place is where the main location is used in the title. The Place need not be where most of the action is set, it is sufficient for it to be important to the plot (or not even that, if the title is sloppy). If we don't know that the title is a place until near the end, then this place is The Namesake.

If it's just the name of the place, like Gotham, it would also go in One-Word Title.

Location Song is a specifically musical subtrope. Sister trope to Vehicle Title.

Egypt: Also a One-Word Title.
The Elder Scrolls: Every game (and most expansions/DLCs) in the main series to date is named after a place within the game world, though it's rarely played entirely straight. The only one which isn't an example of One-Word Title is Shivering Isles:
- Arena counts, though it may come as a surprise to some. According to Arena's intro it is a nickname for Tamriel, while later lore began to suggest it's the Ehlnofey word for Nirn.
- Daggerfall: The city of Daggerfall is one of several prominent locations in the game, which take place in two provinces: High Rock (where Daggerfall is located) and Hammerfell.
- Morrowind subverts it. While the game is called Morrowind, you can only visit one district: the island of Vvardenfell. (The Tribunal expansion then allows you to visit one city on the mainland, but only that city.)
- Oblivion takes place in the province of Cyrodiil, but still qualifies as numerous segments of the game take place in the titular dimension of Oblivion, particularly Mehrunes Dagon's "Deadlands" sphere.
  - The Shivering Isles expansion qualifies, as it takes place in Sheogorath's realm of the Shivering Isles.
- Skyrim plays it entirely straight, taking place in the province of Skyrim.
- The spin-off game Battlespire qualifies, as the game takes place in the Imperial Battlespire, an inter-dimensional training ground for the Imperial Battlemages.
