Cities of the Planes

[countgray]

Balefire City of Lanterns on the Plane of Shadow

Balefire City of Lanterns on the Plane of Shadow was introduced in Dragon #322

 

[DMH]

Dragon 305 has N'gati- an astral "asteroid" covered by a city.

 

[blargney the second]

What cities are there on the planes of Eberron?

 

[Psion]

The book the City of Glass appeared in was the Vortex of Madness.

That's what I said...

 

[Kaodi]

I don't recall seeing any names off hand, but the only planar cities that have been revealed to exist in Eberron (that I know of) are the myriad floating crystal cities of the angels in Syrania.

 

[Brakkart]

I can think of a massive city that everyone's missed so far:

The Iron City of Dis

I mean it only takes up most of an entire layer of Baator, making it arguably the biggest city in the multiverse.

 

[Shemeska]

I can think of a massive city that everyone's missed so far:

I didn't mention the most obvious ones like Sigil, Dis, and Tunarath, and I only listed the Cities of Brass and Glass because I was on a roll with listing Genie-kin cities.
