Wickfields is a village halfway between the towns of Stanlant and Brightisle
Here we start a series of random tables for fantasy villages, towns and cities, starting with some basic names.
Names by Sound, Word or Pseudo Fantasy
Roll on the two tables below and combine them to get a settlement name.
For an English word choose the Word Start/End column, or for a sound taken from English place names use the Sound Start/End. If you want a more fantasy feel then choose the Fantastical Start/End column.
You can mix these columns to get 3600 different combinations.
