Looking for Location Ideas

[rounser]

Thanks Aaron. I guess I just grab something mundane and add a dynamic or magical twist to it - that or steal ideas from elsewhere. The Forgotten Realms does the former a lot (the Grinding Gulf, those cats with wings in Eveningstar etc.) which is why I like the setting in particular...

I'd imagine that random association or pictures would probably come up with some interesting stuff...

A cairn to a forgotten hero, when people sleep beside it something strange happens.

If religion is big in your campaign, have outposts run by militant missionaries. Spreading civilazation and the gospel.

Refugee camps.

"Borrow" the Glittering Caves of Aglarond.

A valley that's inhabited by the results of a long-dead wizard's attempts to breed a better familiar. Or, for more danger, attempts to breed better guardian creatures.

Crystalline trees with strange magical properties.

A valley where the seasons don't change - the fruits trees are always blooming or it's covered in snow all year round.

A mountain pass where the winds are strong enough to literally blow someone off their feet.

A mysterious dead magic zone.
