Fae Forest

Enormous ancient trees with highways of vines connecting the toadstool urban sprawl in the boughs.

Undead Sea

Perfectly still, not even a ripple. There is no life that the eye can see. Just microscopic zombie plankton with an appetite for flesh.

Mall

A hellish landscape of capitalism swallowing itself.

The republic of Farkaroola. The roads are terrible but bad luck, you should have a 4WD by now. Lots of the grey nomads pass through and love/hate our gardens near the town centre, full of noisy crows.

I should have a 4WD by now? What would that be in the Misadventure Adventure universe… Four-Winged Dragon?

Cramsylvania

Imagine Transylvania, with its frightening castles and terrifying monsters, but all the buildings and people are smooshed together.

It’s very early here so I first read this as Creamsylvania.

Do you picture this happening magically when buildngs are finished e.g Montagues and Capulets just finished their new homes. It’s a good thing they’ll never have to be around each other… oh no the houses are fusing together. At least the property tax will be cheaper.

Creamsylvania is also great. They could be rival neighbors. And yeah, like you described. I was imagining the town was under a horrible, very annoying CURSE.

catacombs - a sprawling system of countless natural caves. many settlements have made their homes in the nooks and crannies of this seemingly endless underground system. there are many species of flora and fauna only found here - glowing jellyfish gliding through the air, massive trees topped with bioluminescent fruits. precious gemstones are abundant here also.

Amazing. I can definitely get behind this.

Catacombs sounds like my kind of place

How about:

Essopia

This ancient expanse stretches far beyond the eye can see, uniting its separate kingdoms within its borders but dividing them with the wandering wastelands between.

Good one, I can envisage it within my mind’s eye.

Just as is sounds you don’t have to wait for anything but also you become weightless.

A planet of trees and geysers

I like The Outer Wilds too... maybe we’ll call it Lumber Turf or Smimber Mirf or something to avoid a lawsuit 🤣

Marble Forest

Located on the flat top of a cursed mountain, this place slowly turn soil, trees, animals, metals, rocks and many more into marble. It's home to Marble Elementals, what happen to living being after staying in the forest for too long, which spend their days makeing, breaking and re-making marble pottery. Some say that at night, the elementals use the pottery to harvest soil and bring it to the center of the Marble Forest

I absolutely love this location. Fantastic.

What about…

Boardova, an agrarian society rich in the most versatile natural resource - cardboard! Parochial but peaceful, Boardovians live in cardboard houses, wear cardboard clothes and subsist on cardboard-rich diets.

I love it. I can see the food pyramid now: cardboard on every level.

Broadsword & 3rd, this district of greater Fanhatten Island was cursed long ago by a witch that fancied themselves a patron of the arts. The result, everyone who enters this district acts as if they’re part of a musical.
