Locations
1
Sights: A minor noble travelling via horse, with servants. He is off to ask for a woman’s hand in marriage. But he is still in need of a notable gift to offer to her family. He will attempt to buy anything that the party has visible that might fit such a need.
2
Sights: A local bard offers a gold to whoever can make his bodyguard laugh.
3
Sights: There’s a half-buried village in the sand, with sandstone walls being the only remnants… except for one house, which has a simple roof and door carved into the stone.
4
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.
5
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.
6
Sights: A broken but thick 15ft wide half-circle embedded to the ground made of quartz and intricately laced with gold strips. An assortment of precious gems are embedded in its surface. Any attempt to collect and/or destroy this construct will cause severe psychic damage and a loud high-pitched tone to play loudly. The half-circle aligns perfectly with sunset/sunrise and every time it does, the most beautiful flute melody plays that is sourceless.
7
8
Sights: A cave with a chest that says, ‘if you take something, leave something.’ It’s unlocked and has several trinkets inside.
9
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.
10
Sights: There’s a half-buried village in the sand, with sandstone walls being the only remnants… except for one house, which has a simple roof and door carved into the stone.
11
Sights: A minor noble with servants seeks a wedding gift. Spots something valuable on PCs and wants to buy it.
12
Sights: Once a portal to the abyss, sealed by heroes long ago, now just a crumbling arch with an unsettling aura.
13
Sights: A traveling merchant selling standard equipment at 10% over book price.
14
15
Sights: Deep in a forest, trees are marred with years old axe and sword marks. Hundreds of skeletons dressed in rusted armor and weapons lie in this area. Taking a trinket, or even loitering may be unwise.
16
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.
17
Sights: A seemingly average looking berry bush that happens to grow small jewels instead of berries. If one where to try and consume one of the jewels picked off of the bush within 24hrs, that person gains a temporary magical effect or bonus, otherwise it’s a normal jewel.
18
19
20
21
Sights: A worn smooth but still recognizable ancient statue of a goddess of death. At her feet sets a black stone bowl filled with fresh rose petals. If you were to kneel down at the bowl and look up at her, you would see her eyes stare unwaveringly into yours.
22
23
Sights: A redheaded elf lass is overly friendly and talks to whichever group member seems most willing to isolate. She gets them away from the group and picks their pocket for half their gold.
24
Sights: A stone well with glyphs, the water gives the effect of gaining inspiration.
25
Sights: A smooth stone with a bunch of growing moss on it. Touching the stone with a bare hand results in the moss slowly moving to wherever was touched. On the stone are several handprints and doodles perfectly covered over with the moss.
26
Sights: A sentient door in the side of a mountain that has short term memory loss. He has no idea of his name or how to open himself but enjoys talking with travelers none the less. Speaking the magic word “please” will cause the door to open revealing a shortcut through the mountain. No form of magic or otherwise can lead through or get around this door without speaking the magic word due to an ancient magical barrier.
27
Sights: In the middle of a grassy field stands an 8ft slim cone made of iron bars, in the middle of the structure lies a sun-bleached skeleton bound in iron shackles.
28
Sights: All creatures are two size categorizes larger (medium to huge). Creature speed, reach, and range are tripled.
29
Sights: The ancient ruins of a strangely ‘modern-looking’ tavern located in the deepest patches of forest. No path leads to it, no other buildings or ruins are found besides it, but dozens of deformed footsteps can be found heading out of the site. At night, the faint, muffled sound of a single viol can be heard coming out of the muddy floor.
30
31
Sights: Ruins such as a crumbling tower, ancient temple, razed city, crumbling wall, sagging stone windmill, jumble of standing stones, etc.
32
Sights: For a few hundred feet, wherever the characters step, flowers bloom and emit soft light.
33
Sights: A fifteen-foot statue of a girl unmarred by time. Next to her are the shattered remains of another statue, close enough that the body may have once held her outstretched hand. The feet of this larger statue are all that remain affixed to the earth – the rest is scattered throughout the clearing. Water, clean and pure, travels down her face in steady rivulets but leaves no erosion there.
34
Sights: A large, symmetrical hill where the site of a great battle once was. Stone rubble and ruins barely peaks out from the top. Flowers are left there every so often.
35
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.
36

No path leads to it, no other buildings or ruins are found besides it, but dozens of deformed footsteps can be found heading out of the site.

37

39
40
41
Sights: A talking dog has decided to follow the party and wants to make them happy.
42
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.
43
Sights: A ranger (scout) searching for a missing companion, lover, or long-lost ancestor.
44
Sights: It’s a massive dome-like stone formation that shines pearlescent in the moonlight. It lays in a bare outcropping of rock and is warm to the touch.
45
Sights: There’s a strange dune of sand in the middle of this grassy field, covered in scorpions.
46
Sights: An incredibly detailed, broken bust of a young wood elf, bearing a red crown. Its nose and left ear are missing and where its left eye should be, the socket is destroyed, and a monstrously decomposed snake eye can be found. The base has a bronze plaque which reads (in broken Celestial): ‘The only one truly meant to rule’, followed by a name which seems scratched out.
47
Sights: A small shack almost hidden by the deep forest. The interior is empty aside from a large cast-iron oven.
48

53
54
55

57

63
Sights: A collection of several dozen poles each with a dozen or more signs mounted to them pointing towards various distant lands, nearby businesses, and bizarre joke locations. It started with travelers who erected a signpost pointing to their distant homelands which other travelers added to. Eventually it got out of hand.
64
Sights: Three stone pillars at the top of a hill, each engraved with a different rune of no known language. The pillars appear to change positions, but how this is done is unknown.
65
Sights: All that remains of an ancient fortress, the remarkably well constructed staircase rises for 3 stories out of the ground at the end of an ancient road, and then just abruptly stops.
66
Sights: A gigantic stone carving of a toad’s head, crumbling, half-buried, and covered in moss.

75
76
Sights: A large disc shaped stone at the base of a long dormant volcano. Visitors toss a copper at it for good luck. There are a couple hundred copper around it. It is considered extraordinarily bad luck to take the coppers.
