Lore24 Quick Table
This in itself was a fun exercise: a quick, d20 table for when I'm stuck for Lore24 inspiration. Working on this table counts towards Lore24.

Points of Interest Subtable
This subtable is for POIs (a subset of Places above). This subtable will get a very similar distribution to those recommended by Sachagoat here as part of their excellent series on Reinventing the Wilderness.

|---|---|---|
| 1-2 | Scene | Groves, passes, shores, shacks, hamlets |

| 9-10 | Roll d10: | 1-9: Utility POI; 10: Town/City |
