I have been slowly working on my setting for my Outlaws campaign. I need more city/town names.

So far I have:

Northern Capital
Thornport
Imperial Hill
Savoy

But I definitely need a lot more places.

Back to Outlaws of the Marsh

They say the lanterns of the Eastern Capital are a pretty sight," said Li Kui. "I want to go too."

"Impossible," said Song Jiang.
Li Kui insisted stubbornly. There was no refusing him. Finally, Song Jiang relented.

"All right. But only on condition that you don't make any trouble. Dress as a servant."
—Chapter 72

Always a recipe for trouble. Leave the Black Whirlwind at base.

The description of the big lantern festival is remarkable. A neat glimpse of the culture of medieval China.

“Here, amid beautiful screens and revolving lights, pictures by famous artists graced the walls, and rare antiques and intricate toys were placed on view.”

1/5

[Sūn] Jing Yí (孙 静怡), a long ago he went by Bloody Knuckles, but he hasn't been called that for some time. He tends to a school during the day teaching the local village children just outside the city. In the evening, he runs a well respected bar where he shares the wisdom of more sobering lessons or lends his guests his ear as he help them drown their sorrows.

If anyone wants to contribute an NPC to my Outlaws campaign, I can use as many as you can throw at me.

I just need a name, a nickname, and a sentence or two about them.

I’m not using many Chinese names because my group will never remember them, so feel free to use any kind of name. Evocative nickname is the most important, that’s probably what players will remember.

It’s going to take me forever to name all 100 NPCs.

This is Darla, the Queen of Spades. Once a grave robber, she now runs the Golden Goblin, a gambling den in Riddleport.

Started placing cities on my Outlaws map. Need to start naming them.

The biggest city (provincial capital) in the east is going to be based a bit on Riddleport from Golarion, if I can’t think of a better name I might just use that.
