Planar Urban Sprawl

Before the first inklings of civilization rose up upon the mortal world, magnificent cities already existed within the vast corners of the multiverse. Pathfinder Campaign Setting: Distant Realms offers a look into six of these extraplanar cities that are ripe for exploration by planar travelers. Each entry includes a full-page map and a stat block for the city, a history of the city and its current major players, and a gazetteer of the city's most interesting locales. Within these pages, you'll find details about the following cities, and more:

The darkly perfect city of Dis, home of the First King Dispater and his fiendish court.

The isle of Yulgamot, a haven of flowing time within the ageless seas of the Astral Plane.

The trade hub of Shadow Absalom, lit by the mysterious Glare and ringed by an ocean of dust.

The philosophical haven of Basrakal, where outsiders aid each other to defy their own natures.

”

Heaven's "international district" can be found on the plane's first tier, and plays host to not only archons and Heavenly petitioners, but members of nearly every good- and lawful-aligned race in the multiverse (a fact that has earned the district the nickname "Heathen Shore" for its welcoming attitude toward those many see as unfit to set foot in Heaven).

Shadow Absalom

by Thurston Hillman

p. 34

A dark reflection of the City at the Center of the World upon the Shadow Plane, Shadow Absalom is a center of trade for all the illicit goods one can't find on the Material Plane.

Spire's Edge

by Crystal Frasier

p. 44

Souls lacking purpose and motivation find themselves in Spire's Edge, situated on the cusp of the Boneyard's Spire, where they hope to eventually feel some attachment to one of the Outer Planes so that they may move on to their final afterlife.

Yulgamot

by John Compton

p. 54

The planetoid of Yulgamot is one of the few large surfaces in the Astral Plane, where time flows differently than elsewhere in the plane, and serves as both a trade hub and central launching point from which extraplanar expeditions set forth.
