So /tg/, I've been messing around with Inkarnate, making shitty maps for potential campaigns. And I was wondering, how do you guys decide to fill in maps? What sort of landmarks go where. Do you just wing it as you go, or do you plan along some guidelines?
I'll post some copypasta locations I've seen on /tg/ before, OP. These are just short summaries.

The Bloody Willow, at the center of Eis Forest. From a distance, it appears to be normal, apart from the scarlet collar of its leaves. It regularly compels people from nearby areas to come and sleep under its branches, where they die and have all of their blood drained.

How would you max-min to make the least efficient character possible?
