Try a search for "Fantasy RPG Kobold Names" Jim, or something similar. There are also various free place-name generators online, so with a bit of combination of both, you can probably come up with something suitable for relatively minimal effort.
For instance, the Fantasy Name Generators website has at least three Kobold name generators (personal, not place, but it's a start), and more place-name generators than I can count - try the Town & City name generators.
When the gate to a town has no one person who can override the construction committee. Months after the arguing started, someone just put up the wooden palisades.
Quite likely the construction committee never noticed.
One of the ruins near The Small Wood. I went for minimal as these ruins are from the past far enough back that the locals have no idea who built them. What happened to the inhabitants, nor who attacked them.
I am a bit worn out due to having to replace the alternator belt on my car... I apparently drove several miles home last Friday on just the battery. Wheee !
Anyway, partially done replacing it. Heat outside did me no good, but I did drink plenty of water.
Well, I kinda started out using Ferraris style, but added other elements to it. I very much like the arable land texture. This map is smaller than the pdf suggests. Maybe in future I'll make a map of an entire area using just this style. Other bits used are SMC walls and towers. CA158 vari-color compass rose and CA25 scale bar.
Bee Hill.
Well, a large colony of honey bees live there. The farmers are glad of them as they pollinate these fields.
Why are there no guard towers like the other arable land ?
Many years ago, kobolds attacked via this read and field. The bees saw their favorite gardner killed by some large beings. He had been kind to them, getting them water and planting flowers when their water supply had dried up. The other field hands gave report that they distinctly heard small trumpets being sounded. The guards on the walls didn't hear them.
But the bees in Bee Hill did. They attacked the kobolds who never attack this town using this direction ever again.
A traveling druid did communicate with the bees on behalf of the town. Both the bees and the town resolved to come to each other's aid in all such future events.
The field hands, and two adventurers, did convince some bears to leave the bees alone. Find their honey elsewhere.
All has been quiet on this side of town for years.
Maps left to do: rest of Keeper Tower including basement, maybe an area below that. 2) Forest Tower and area 3) Out Stretched Tower and area, 4) 4 shops in Bell; general store, storage, repair shop for shoes boots and armor, food items like bread and cheese 5) area of Desolate Fens 6) General store in Zosh 7) General Store within Keeper Tower walls 8) general store in Wrelna Town 9) Dungeon City surface entrance
Then go through all of this and fix any problems, add/subtract symbols, work on them overall, and the upload the multiple zip files. Oh, and type up separate text files for each one.
Having been thinking "insects" in recent weeks, I like the tale of Bee Hill!
Maybe add a couple of other labelled/marked points of interest in Shoro Town though, Jim? An inn perhaps, and a store or two, say? And possibly the town leader's home/civic building?
Comments
Yonder Spring ? Well, it didn't have a name for many years. People got tired of being asked where the spring was, they just replied 'Yonder !'.
So, people then started calling it Yonder Spring. Other folks in the area don't use the name.
The square grid wont be on the final map.
Here is the main floor for Keeper Tower, entrance is one level up.
Probably add a basement with more storage.

I wanted to draw Bell-shaped walls, but I couldn't pull it off. So I went with square. I used different wall segments for my Bell-shaped attempt.
Anyway, partially done replacing it. Heat outside did me no good, but I did drink plenty of water.
I hope to be mapping soon again.
Wednesday already ?!

Several towns are getting general stores, repair shops, etc.
If I got my list of all maps for this set written down, its looking like 28 to 30 maps total.
I did make two large area maps, with many of the smaller areas marked with a symbol and a name.
