Fantasy Villages
These villages are quick descriptions to fill in when you've got nothing else. Enough of a base to make the village unique, but it's not to the detail of Homlett, Orlane, Emond's Field or Higher Lower Burrstock.
There is a quick fantasy village generator at ChaosGen. There is also a pdf of these and more tables at the DriveThruRPG as Quick Fantasy Villages.
