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.
3
Sights: A 120ft diameter crater. Now filled with water and inhabited by pond creatures.
4
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.

7
Sights: A druid searching for herbs, mushrooms, or seeds found only in this region.
8
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.
9
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 druid searching for herbs, mushrooms, or seeds found only in this region.

Sights: A cave with a chest that says, ‘if you take something, leave something.’ It’s unlocked and has several trinkets inside.
14
15
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.
16

17
Sights: A cave with a chest that says, ‘if you take something, leave something.’ It’s unlocked and has several trinkets inside.

19
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.
20
Sights: A cloud of fireflies (at night) or butterflies (by day) rises from the ground and performs a beautiful dance in front of the players before the wind picks up and disperses them.
21
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.
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.

25
26

32
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.
33
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.
34
Sights: A large, circular pool off of a main river which is geothermally heated.
35
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.
36
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.

38
Sights: A bizarre building with a strange mushroom-shaped metal lattice on top. It was the lab of a researcher studying non-magical electricity who died from electrocution.
39
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.
40
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.
41
Sights: A gigantic stone carving of a toad’s head, crumbling, half-buried, and covered in moss.
42
Sights: Rats crawl from a trash-heap in an alleyway and drag forth something shiny. It turns out to be... some shiny trash! (After rolling for initiative and an investigation check, it uncovers a bit more.. and a bit more.. and...) (10% chance of necklace or costume jewelry worth 10-100gp, 10% chance of 1 gold piece, 10% chance of 1 silver piece, 10% chance of 10 copper pieces; 10% chance of trash-borers or some sort of malevolent minor monster encounter, CR minus 2). In the process of rummaging thru the trash a hook towards the current plot or adventure, or a message or sign about the urgency of their current mission falls in their lap to get them back on track again.
43
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.

48
49
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.
50
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.
51
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.
52
53

59
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.
60
Sights: A limping bailiff and his badly beaten prisoner are walking down the road. The man is being returned to jail for theft and assaulting a member of justice. The prisoner claims that he was only stealing bread to avoid starvation and was defending himself from an overzealous bailiff. The prisoner swears on his honor that if the party pays his fine of 25 gold pieces that he will stay with the group to work off the debt by being the party’s servant. He originally offers his services for one gold per day but is willing to haggle. If the fine is paid the prisoner stays with the party for only half of any agreed time before attempting to run away in the night.
