Ok, so here's the deal. I'm looking for idea generators for fantastic locations. Not so much dungeon or adventure generators – that's not a problem. What I run into trouble with are fantastic locations: weird phenomena that exists in the material world because...magic!
Things like magical versions of, say, Devils Tower, or Old Faithful, or the Devil's Triangle.
I've looked around online and the stuff I'm seeing (Seventh Sanctum, Abulafia) maybe just a bit too far out there for what I'm looking for. I'm looking for more Greyhawk, less Mystara, if you know what I mean. Had the same problem with AEG's Fantasy Toolkit.
Guidance?
Tom
Hmm, tough one. Because most of these generators tend to be more weird fantasy than greyhawk.
Yup! Abulafia is better and less goofy. Seventh sanctum is just...WTF?
Abulafia Fantasy Landmarks (http://http://www.random-generator.com/index.php?title=Fantasy_Landmarks)
Seventh Sanctum Adventure Locations (http://http://www.seventhsanctum.com/generate.php?Genname=advname)
Granted, these both do slightly different things, but the SS generator reads like a bad parody of other adventure mods. But maybe those links will give folks a better idea of what I'm looking for in concept.
From what I've found, the Tome of Adventure (http://https://www.froggodgames.com/tome-adventure-design) design is pretty good. Does anyone know of more resources like that?

Your links were all broken by bad "http" syntax. These should work:
