It’s been a while since we’ve done a fun random table, and while browsing other websites, something put the idea of a table of fantasy landmarks in the ole noggin.

Imagine the Colossus of Rhodes or Mount Rushmore, but customized for your game world. You’ll want to roll for each column although not all landmarks need to have a special feature. Use your judgement.
