Major Towns tend to be large settlements with many buildings and residents. They often have a large selection of stores, and multiple buildings for sale. They are also the only items on the Map that can be seen at any zoom level, besides your own settlements.
Exploration spoilers beware obviously.
The Holy Nation
The zealous fanatics of The Holy Nation inhabit these towns. They are not safe for non-human Races without Human escort. Even then you may encounter trouble with the residents and guards. Skeletons should stay away at all times, as they are kill on sight regardless of any escort.

- A town near the eastern edge of the map. This town does not tend to have any enemy attacks, nor enemies in the surrounding area. It also often has a large amount of barracks in it, causing some buildings to be missing, including bars. So do not expect to be able to come here and heal.
Blister Hill
- A large town in the northeastern section of the map with a good variety of shops.

Stack
- A large town on the just southeast of the center of map, on the edge of The Holy Nation's territory. It has a decent variety of shops, and its surrounding areas often have Starving Bandits, Wild Dogs, and Dust Bandits.

And it's proximity to to the Western Hive and The Hub make it a good location for aspiring traders and thieves alike.
