Locations
1
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.
2
Sights: Two sequoia trees whose bases are over a hundred feet apart have grown together and connect about 160 to 180 feet off the ground. The branches and leaves of these giant trees create a pleasantly shaded area below which is often used by the local populace as sites of wedding ceremonies.
3
Sights: Weak gravity. Jump distance and carrying capacity are doubled, walking speed increases by 10ft, and fall damage is halved.
4
5
Sights: An enormous statue of a rooster, made from a strange metal, finely detailed and colored. It is hollow, and when the first ray of sunrise strikes it, a great, sad-sounding crow arises from it. Legend says that it commemorates a great battle in the distant past.
6
7
Sights: A garden from a former ancient culture, which vanished out of unknown reasons. One of the only things found was this tree garden. Are the trees made of stone or turned to, no one knows.
8
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.
9
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.
10
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.
11
12
Sights: Young lovers have sought refuge to meet, their families do not approve.
13
Sights: An enormous stone of a singular soft yellow color. It is hot to the touch but by day it is warm and comfortable simply standing near it. By night however the stone begins to glow brightly, illuminating its surroundings in radiant golden light. Large chips of the same stone can be found in the foliage growing around it. With similar glowing properties.
14
Sights: A large, circular pool off of a main river which is geothermally heated.
15
16
Sights: For a few hundred feet, wherever the characters step, flowers bloom and emit soft light.
17
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.
18
Sights: At a crossroads sits an unusual statue, made of stone it stands over 10 feet tall and has arms sticking out in every direction with their palm turned upwards. In nearly every hand there is a candle, some still lit but most are fully melted. Placing a candle in one of the hands and lighting it will give the player the blessing of ‘A helping hand.’ When a player next fails a roll, they may roll an additional d6 and add it to their total.
19
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.

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.

It provides ample shade during most of the day.

63
64
Sights: A cleric comes down the path followed by a small retinue of acolytes, full of confidence. The acolytes are convinced that the cleric they follow has been bestowed with powers from the gods. In reality he has routinely gotten lucky with every miracle he has performed. The acolytes wish to see his strength in action and vehemently challenge the party on his behalf to a gentleman’s duel. The cleric, unable to say no to the wishes of his followers, confides in secret to the party that he has no powers and begs them to let him win.
