Aktun is the divine realm of Abadar as well as the capital and largest district of plane of Axis.

Geography

The streets of Aktun are laid out in concentric circles crossed by avenues radiating from the First Vault at the centre. Due to the influence of Abadar, Aktun is the friendliest district of Axis to mortal visitors, who are allowed to come to gain inspiration for building cities without worrying about the dangers of planar travel.

Aktun is connected to several other districts of Axis. A set of clockwork portals links it to the Citadel of Resplendent Clockwork, the realm of the goddess Brigh. The underground labyrinth of Duskfathom, the realm of the thief god Norgorber, lies beneath Aktun proper, acting like an undercity would to a metropolis in the Universe.

Notable locations

Although it is located just outside the main gates of Aktun, the Guesthouse of the Cage is tied closely to the divine realm of Abadar as well as the world of Golarion, as it is the default arrival point in Axis for many magic items tied to the Master of the First Vault that are capable of transporting individuals there. Inside the district, one of the better known locations is the Hearth-Grown House, the domain of the halfling goddess Chaldira.
