Spell book of Carcosan rituals disguised as 19th century gynaecological manual.
Final 2 illustrations possible NSFW, mostly because of giant screw thread which I think is supposed to be part of a chair.

Mission briefing:

Mission briefing:
Tonight I’ll shave the mountain
I’ll cut the hearts from Pharaohs
I pull the road off of the rise
tear the memories from my eyes
and in the morning I’ll be gone.
I drink a thousand shipwrecks
tonight I’ll steal your paychecks
I paint the sheets across my bed
the birds will all fly from my head
and in the morning I’ll be gone.
Take every dream that’s breathing,
find every boot that’s leaving,
shoot all the lights in the cafe
and in the morning I’ll be gone.
I bet a thousand dollars
I have a french companion
I tie myself below the deck
I pull the rope around my neck
and in the morning I’ll be gone.
It takes a life to win her
there is a drum of bourbon
800 pounds of nitro
his boots are thunder as he plays.
There is a stone inside it
tonight his bones will ride it
I’ll need a tent to hide it
and in the morning I’ll be gone.

“Where Tamatea, the man with the big knees, the climber of mountains, the land-swallower who travelled about, played his nose flute to his loved one” marginally beats  “Where the devil urinates” and “Throat-cut valley” as an adventure location.

Now constructing a table of long place names that are also hex descriptions.

I am most intrigued by Äteritsiputeritsipuolilautatsijänkä in northern Finland because, despite beingan astonishing mouthful and a name in common use it’s also  “probably gibberish.”
