My d&d game tends to work better when I just name things like “The Nightmare Wood” and “The Old Hills”. The simplicity somehow lands harder.My friends don't know anything about my hometown, so I just name everything after old street names or old parts of town. - Cabbageford - Countsclearing - Blackstakes - Turnpike - Holyspring - Stepsstream - Canyard - Cattlestream Valley - On The Height - Cottagevill - Stalkpond - Firecreek - Meadowsmill - Sticks - Bogbrook - Bogbridge - Kingsroad - Goldenworth It feels incredibly realistic, because it is.

There is an urban legend that when the Swedish map makers came to Finland the locals would mess with them when asked what a pace was called and that is why so many place names have “vittu” or “perse” etc. in them.Also they named Turku just Åbo. Åbo. Swedish "å" is an entire word meaning; a river, a creek, a big stream "Bo" bo n **a dwelling** (of an animal), especially a bird's nest fågelbo bird’s nest att bygga bo to build a nest / to nest ("build nest" – idiomatic phrasing) (poetic, extended from sense 1) **a home** sätta bo settle down So it's a three letter word basically saying river-dwelling I think rather than ask Finns what a place was named they just named them themselves. Perhaps because they were tired of the locals calling everything shit and piss. ¯\\\_(ツ)\_/¯

"What, the vast terra incognito with fauna and flora hitherto undreamt of by sights puts you in mind nothing so much as... *Rhyl*...?" "No, of course not. Not **North** Wales. That's ridiculous, it's nothing like **North** Wales."
