Locations
1
Sights: An abandoned graveyard (there's minor treasure in a crypt, guarded by undead).
2
Sights: A small shack almost hidden by the deep forest. The interior is empty aside from a large cast-iron oven.
3
Sights: A copse of trees growing in a single spot on an otherwise barren mountain. Unbeknownst to the world, it is the burial place of a great wizard of earthen magics. It is watched over by a trio of stone golems and a handful of slumbering treants to guard the immense knowledge held within the tomb.
4
Sights: Deep in the woods, a small group of trees whose leaves are bright red. They contrast starkly with the normal trees around them. The Candle trees appear otherwise normal, but the dried leaves can be brewed into a tea that warms the bones even on the coldest nights.

6
7
Sights: A large tree in the forest that bends and splits in such a way that the bottom looks like a foot, with toes.
8
Sights: Dashed upon the rocks are the remains of a large merchant ship. Weathered and ancient, the skeletons of the crew still scattered around though most everything of value has long since been looted.
9
10
Sights: Razorvine. AC 11, HP 25, immunity to bludgeon, pierce, psychic. On contact, DC 10 Dex save or take 1d10 slashing damage.
11
Sights: A natural rock formation that just happens to look like the face of an old man with a long beard. Ruins of temples from several ancient civilizations can be found in the valley below, apparently attracted there to worship the face, or perhaps just to be under his watchful gaze. Most humanoid races in the region are sure the old man looks like their race and have their own legend about him.
12
Sights: A large stone head protruding from the surface of a glacier. It is the head of an earth elemental and if you get his attention, he is friendly. If asked what he is doing their he replies ”swimming in the river”, given he exists at a geological place the slow flow of the glacier is like a river to him.
13
Sights: A massive artwork carved into a boulder placed some ways away from the banks of a nearby river. The artwork seems to depict a struggle between giants and dragons, with the giants as the victors. The faintly red runes which line it are giantish, and anyone who can decipher them will read that it marks a momentous battle between giants and dragons, over which should decide the course of the river.

17
Sights: A local bard offers a gold to whoever can make his bodyguard laugh.
18
Sights: A minor noble returning from an unsuccessful hunt, with retinue. The noble is not a skilled hunter yet thinks himself to be the greatest in the land, partially due to the plethora of compliments he receives on a daily basis from his followers. He challenges the party to a contest of who can bring down the largest brown bear and wagers his pouch of gold.
19
Sights: A trail of breadcrumbs appears on the side of the road. If the party follows it, they eventually find an advertisement for the local village jester inscribed on the side of a tree.
20
21
Sights: A man selling golden iguanas approaches the party for the bargain of a lifetime. He only has one left, it's painted gold, and a little bit high off paint fumes.
22
Sights: A 120ft diameter crater. Now filled with water and inhabited by pond creatures.
23
24
Sights: A short pathway of stone carved into a mountain, roughly five feet wide with names of couples and graffiti on the stone walls. The pathway always has a thick eerie fog settled over it.
25
Sights: A farmer returning from town with his three daughters is seen on the side of the road huddled beneath their damaged cart. The family has been attacked by a swarm of stirges as the evidenced by the presence of a stirge, bludgeoned with a shovel. The family asks the party to escort them the remainder of the way home. Their home is an hours walk out of the way for the party and an hour is needed to fix the cart.
26
Sights: A series of jutting tooth like spires of black igneous rock which rise out from the sea. These “teeth” have proven to be an extreme hazard to sailors and shipping which pass too near to them. Tearing hulls and ripping sails.
27
28
Sights: It’s an oak tree with the word hope carved into it in large letters. No one knows who did it or why, but it’s turned into a useful landmark for the local village.
29
Sights: A monastery with audible chanting coming from within (The monks and nuns are cultists).
30
Sights: A traveling merchant selling standard equipment at 10% over book price.
31
32
Sights: Battlefield where lingering fog occasionally assumes humanoid forms.
33
Sights: A grassy hill of noticeable height rises from the otherwise flat plains. On the hill are several lines of cobblestone that do not grow grass and have no discernible pattern from the surface. If flying, however, you see the cobblestone lines form the shape of a bird, along with some arcane symbols. If you happen to look up during the spring or fall, you’ll see migratory birds alter their course to fly over this hill.
34
Sights: It’s an oak tree with the word hope carved into it in large letters. No one knows who did it or why, but it’s turned into a useful landmark for the local village.
35

36
37
38
39
Sights: A large, circular pool off of a main river which is geothermally heated.
40
Sights: A game warden with a broken bow and empty scabbard, fuming as he walks, emerges from the woods. He tells the party how he was disarmed by an extremely clever badger that threw his sword into the river and cracked his bow in two. The badger is actually a druid in animal form who hates anything to do with hunting including those who attempt to govern it.
41
42
Sights: A series of vaguely conic stone spires lined up along a gentle arc. Each is over 15ft tall and 5ft across at the base, and tapers to a narrow tip. Nobody knows the origin of this formation. Some say the teeth are all that remains from some colossal dragon skeleton, others think the stones were placed there by a dragon cult, or as a sign from Bahamut.
43
Sights: A buzzard alights atop a stone or statue nearby and makes disgusting noises at the party, drops a half-eaten zombie part, then flies away. The body-part has a tattoo or a piece of jewelry (worth 100gp or less) or something relating to the plot.
44
Sights: A ranger patrol, with a cheerful leader, is heard laughing from down the path. The man, tall and burly loves jokes and will reward any player that can make him laugh until he cries. However he hates puns as he thinks they are a cheap form of laughter.
45
Sights: A large tree in the forest that bends and splits in such a way that the bottom looks like a foot, with toes.
46
Sights: A half-collapsed stone tower with curious triangular architecture. The bones of a lonely watchman sitting in a chair lie atop it. The watchman wears a helmet shaped like a triangular pyramid. Several towers of this type can be found around the same area.
47
Sights: Deep in the woods, a small group of trees whose leaves are bright red. They contrast starkly with the normal trees around them. The Candle trees appear otherwise normal, but the dried leaves can be brewed into a tea that warms the bones even on the coldest nights.
48
Sights: The local guards have set up a roadblock while they search for a fleeing criminal, and have a series of inane questions for the party to answer. They aren't looking for help, and take any attempts by the party to get involved as an unwelcome complication to what is clearly already tiresome work.
49
Sights: Your players pass a soothsayer and see an Omen. He offers reward for everyone who gives a second opinion.
50
Sights: A 50 ft rust covered sword driven into the earth. The whole area has a magical aura and no wildlife lingers within a quarter mile of the sword.
51
Sights: A big, old tree which seems to be made of iron, but as far as anyone can tell, is alive and growing, if slowly.
52
Sights: 4 merchants with their donkey (they're bandits that may attack weak-looking PCs).
53
Sights: A talking dog has decided to follow the party and wants to make them happy.
54
Sights: After a day's travel, the characters come to a small camp site. A voice calls out from somewhere, asking about the PCs and their business. If the characters respond honestly, a hunter with a bow reveals himself and greets the PCs. He often goes out into the wilderness in search of game, and has just recently completed a successful hunt. If the PCs are friendly he offers to share some of his kill with them, and if they join him for dinner they gain 2d4+2 temporary hit points. If the PCs are wary or rude, he returns to his campfire and leaves them be.
55
Sights: A lost, weeping child. If the characters take the child home, the parents reward them with 3 potions of healing.
56
57
Sights: A farmer returning from town with his three daughters is seen on the side of the road huddled beneath their damaged cart.

Their home is an hours walk out of the way for the party and an hour is needed to fix the cart.
58
Sights: A small but clearly once-bustling town lays abandoned inside of a titan’s skull. The skull is half buried in the sand; its eye sockets and mouth aim up at an angle. Walking through its mouth is the only way to enter the town. The skull looks to be that of an enormous version of whatever scariest creature lives in that area. It provides ample shade during most of the day.
59
Sights: A small stone platform on the top of a hill, standing on the platform makes a person irrationally angry. Barbarians may involuntarily rage as a result.
60
Sights: Ramparts, high hills, and trenches filled with water that stretch for mile marking the location an ancient battlefield. It has grown over.
61
