Honestly, I don't think we would. Between the extremes of Kharaya-do and UMBRA's aesthetics,¹ the kind of world that we would all feel a connection to is quite narrow. And we've just not really connected to anything that fills that niche.

Like Lancre from the Discworld is definitely an aesthetically pleasing place, and the laws of narrative causality are effectively the basis for Sparkles and Echo's magic anyway; but it lacks to requisite technology to real feel like somewhere UMBRA would be? And if we added that in, it would kind of stop feeling like Lancre any more, undermining the whole point of this, I think.

Honestly, if the sleepy home village trope was as prevalent in urban fantasy as medieval, or we just read more urban fantasy, we could probably come up with something.

Overall though, I think it'd just be easier to make something original that draws parts we like from various contexts.

1. And others' too, those two just sit at two particular extremes.

4. do you have a headspace? if so, what's it like? if not, what do you wish it was like?

No, we don't. I know my preferences lie similar to our grandparents' smallholding. Quiet, secluded, rural, lots of plants (including some woodland). I think that's generally something a lot of us would be comfy with. Although I guess the pooltoy would want more than a dingy little stream, and I'm not immediately sure what UMBRA, Kharaya-do, or Luna would want.

I like the idea of having my potion lab be in an old cow shed. They have good ventilation, are already built to handle spillage, and fit a kind of "practical witchery" aesthetic I like.
