not my call man, but it couldnt hurt to make up a few key places with like a paragraph of history/facts each... so you think you can make like 3 towns for me? nothing huge lets say 1 large trader town and 2 smaller towns?? we can leave the cities till later.This will just speed up map making later =)
1 large trade town 2 smaller towns, Ok, Naming style will be fantasy western;
Large town;
Name; Alkharn
A larger trading town that grew up around a massive tree, some call it a 'world tree' this tree is of a strange type, Rare in NTO, famed for its magical properties, The town itself trades well, being on the confluence of two rivers and slap bang between two of the biggest cities, it is a common waypoint for travelers, Its main outgoings are magical staffs of a medium level, Magical charms of a lower level, And basic magic enhanced weapons, primarily those which can be made with wooden handles or such. Though its most famed exports are the Ever sought 'Alk Bows' these bows made from the 'World Tree' do not need ammunition and generate such when drawn. often they come with other magical properties.
Small town 1;
Lacru
less of a town, more of a outpost, in the far north there is the town of Lacru, the final outpost before the barren wastelands of the icy north. famed for its hardy norse warriors, and legendary fishing spots. The few that seak it out are either on a journey to the depths of the north for items and monsters of epic proportions. Or they are master fishermen hunting for orca and sharks.
Small town 2;
Caliban
Caliban is a little town on the western fringes of 'america' nothing much is notable about such a place, exept for the fantastically low house prices and nice land. situated in the middle of a forest, if one was looking to settle somewhere for a while, they would look to Caliban. even the forest itself isn't that notable, not even rare monsters, Infact the entire area is almost notable for its un-notable-ness.
