I mean you can get much, much weirder.

"Because this section of river was once a fork, but it got stuck in a cow-snake and the cow-snake used its powers of transmogrification to split the river and then it felt guilty so it turned itself into a town full of people."

And I'm sure someone else can come up with something even weirder. I just wish people didn't feel so limited in a genre of infinite possibilities.

Or you can steal some ideas from mythologies, though some are very sex-oriented.

"Why are all the plants in this region red?" - That was where the goddess Bleda had her first period. "Oh. So those yellow fields are..." - Yes.

Better Greek mythology than the usual elves and dwarves and shit in my opinion.
