while I very well could regret this I have an Idea to pass the time.
just generated this world and I want people to take one of the named locations and write some lore about it. no rules about only dubs or posts ending in 7 or anything like that counting; I just want to see the mess that ends up being created.
Outwardly this forest is like any other, appearing to consist of deciduous trees and appropriate native wildlife. However, its name hints at a greater importance. Those of scholarly or arcane inclination know that within the forest grow a type of tree whose wood is especially receptive to efforts to enchant it and all life in the forest has, as a result, developed slight magic properties (Bears with barkskin, rabbits with longstrider, etc.) Stories of strange happenings in the forest are common in nearby towns and cities including rumors of a protector that wields nature itself against those who attempt to control the forest, meaning it is a piece of land not claimed by any major power (I would stat out a nice powerful druid for this)
Alright. That's a starting point at least.

The Sovereign City of Tyhill is your typical low level human city on the coast where the PCs start. Thunder Mountain is the gateway to the celestial realm of the Storm God. It's besieged by the Demon Empress and her army of evil spirits. The cities of Nypont and Tumunzar have a religious crusade to try to defeat her and stem the tide of her demon army. Nypont provides soldier, mercenaries, and adventurers, while Tumunzar hosts academies and laboratories for wizards, warlocks, and sorcerers.

The mountain dwarves of Gabulnulb were exiled long ago from the Thunder Mountains and set up a new city of Huco to trade with the humans. Their old capitol city was taken over by Abirson the Traitor, a powerful duergar warlord in league with the Demon Empress.

The Dark Prison of Ages was constructed during the first Great Northern Crusade against the forces of the Abyss. Though evil still lingers in these lands, a team of adventurers was able to partially close the gate allowing demons to crawl into our world.
However, the gate could never close all the way, and particularly powerful or persistent demons are still able to come through when the astrology bears a bad omen. So the Dark Prison was constructed to be a fortress against evil. However, while most fortresses are built to keep invaders out, this fortress was built to keep invaders in: a maze of traps, magical wards and guardian beasts, an inverted tower stretching deep into the Earth.
It served as the headquarters for the Dark Watch until, on a particularly ill-fated blood moon, the wards on the gate broke, and demons overran the lower levels. Though the Dark watch still control the upper levels, the war is more or less lost, and their forces have been making a fighting retreat up the floors for the past years, stalling the enemy as much as possible while their emissaries beg the kings of the south for aid.

Caer Annædnror is a once magnificent dwarven castle which has been worn over a millennium of fighting the demon hordes. It is now inhabited by the Storm Swords. A coalition of races in a small(50-100 veterans) fighting contingency now lieing as the first line of defense of Nypont and Tumunzar from the evils that lie in the mountains.

The Thunder Mountains
A collection of mountains raised in the age of gods during a battle between the god of the earth and the god of the sky so that the god of the earth could strike his foe (Or so the myth goes)
The highest peaks of the thunder mountains are the nesting sight of Thunderbirds, they bring death by lightning to anyone who threatens their lands, not even the demon empress dares to brave the highest peak

No one actually knows why Caer Glaibhe was constructed, nor even when or by whom, as there is no mention of a threat ever appearing from the uncharted northlands in any of the worlds historical records, nor are there even any myths or legends associated with it.
Nether the less, a token force of watchmen is sent there from Gebury to look over the empty waste, just in case the reason becomes apparent in the future.

The great western jungles once stretched from the coasts of Carda all the way to the Trollmoore river. But a industrious race of kobolds started building massive fortresses, clearcutting timber and polluting the rivers with effluent. Now a great wasteland is all that is left, watched over by Illfang the Cruel and his army of kobolds. The serpents and jungle creatures now fight each other for their own territory in what's left of the Jungle, while the traders from Carda maintain a bazaar for traders and adventurers to set out into the wilderness.
