What's the Story Behind the Name?

Place Names and Worldbuilding
3

A fun worldbuilding prompt.

What’s the story behind the name of the tall hill on the left?

It could be Tall Hill or Big Hill. Direct descriptions of landmarks certainly have their place in worldbuilding, but let’s add a twist. What’s the history of this place? How have the people’s interactions with the land given rise to the unique place name?

Would you weave a story with the three options in the audio prompt or pick something different?
