About landmark names

Results here are short map labels such as "Ornamental Fountain" and "Creepy Graveyard", an adjective plus feature pattern that reads like the key on a hand-drawn map. Roll a handful when stocking a hex crawl or a town district, then place each one where travelers would actually stop. A single odd entry like "Small Glacier" can anchor an entire region's history.

How landmark names are built

Each result is one entry pulled whole from a 245-item bank, so the output is a short landmark label such as "Ornamental Fountain" or "Village Ruins" with no slot joining. Many entries are themselves a size or quality word plus a feature (Large Palace, Small Glacier), but they are stored as single complete strings.

  • Ornamental Fountain

    whole landmark entry

  • Village Ruins

    whole landmark entry

  • Large Palace

    whole landmark entry

Naming notes

It populates maps and settings with points of interest for RPGs or fiction. The vocabulary mixes built structures (Palace, Fountain), ruins, and natural features (Glacier), so it can seed both urban and wilderness locations. Because entries are generic descriptors rather than proper names, you typically pair the output with a place name of your own ("the Ornamental Fountain of...").

Questions about landmark names

Does the generator combine a size with a feature?
Some entries read that way (Large Palace, Small Glacier), but each is stored as one complete string in the 245-item bank, not glued from two slots.
Are these proper place names?
No, they are generic descriptors like Park or Village Ruins, so you usually attach your own place name to them.
Can it produce both city and wilderness sites?
Yes. The bank mixes built structures such as Palace and Fountain with natural features such as Glacier.
