Put another town on the map
Village, market town, river crossing, or border hold -- this page rolls settlement names that sound like they have been on the map for centuries, for the moment the party rides off the edge of the part you prepared.
The names are compounds built on the bones of real place names: a landmark, beast, or founder up front -- Oak, Salt, Wolf, King -- and a settlement word behind it -- ford, stead, haven, barrow. That is how real towns got named, which is why Saltmere and Wolfden read as places you could tax. Vote the good ones up and the rolls learn.
