Thanks guys. If I were to use one of these right away I'd probably do the first one about the Aerie. But that's probably because I've been inspired lately by ancient elven lore.

I love them all, but I'm going to play favorites. I can't resist the Lovecraftian sounding mystery of the Ghost Gate, and who can resist a hill in the vast Swamp that's actually the shell of a huge dragon turtle with shards of a dead god's spear embedded in it?

I've actually been thinking about the connection between giant eagles and elves lately, too.

I like these. That Grand Mirage, at first could seem like just a thing for kindly DMs to hand the players when their characters are in it deep and need a place to rest and heal up, but I think something more could be added in there too. I'm not sure what, but something.

As to the thing you said in reply to the comment: should you continue to do little paragraphs of 3-5 places, or one big writeup. I'd say go with the flow on that. If all you come up with are a paragraph or two on a place, so be it. But if you find yourself inspired on one particular location, don't fight it. Do a full writeup if that's where your mind takes you. Happy

Thanks for the input BW!

Yeah the Grand Mirage is a "helpful" place on the surface, especially if the players run their resources low too quickly. The steppes and desert is vast and that place is a nice pit stop. As to trouble, it's possible. No reason why only the PCs find it.
