Here the cities run rich with opportunity, but the deserts still threaten to swallow them and all their luxuries. Named for both their golden sands and the wealth that flows through their markets, the nations of the Golden Road have built their empires on the power of trade. The icy grasp of the lich Tar-Baphon threatens to consume all that surrounds his Isle of Terror, and the warring nations within his sight must now band together or perish. Where once a holy bastion against evil stood, evil has now prevailed. In this region ruled by scarcity and struggle, residents of the Broken Lands scratch out a harsh existence, plagued by desperate demons, metal monstrosities, or the cruel and unfeeling predations of their own neighbors. Several mortals have traveled across the Inner Sea to Absalom and gained godhood from the Test of the Starstone, and countless aspirants line the streets of the city, hoping to become the next to ascend.
One of the oldest and most influential cities in Golarion, Absalom was founded by the living god Aroden and is home to the legendary Starstone Cathedral. This overview presents all of the continents and regions of the world known as Golarion, as well as the planets and planes that lie beyond it-but still reach past their boundaries to influence the land of Lost Omens!
