I like the big Greyhawk like Ptolus city. I like the politics of the religious civil war and set that as my campaign timeframe. Also there is a great <a href="https://www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/356842/a-player-s-guide-to-ptolus?affiliate_id=17596" target="_blank">free 32-page player's guide,</a> which I used as the basis for a Ptolus campaign years before the 700 page monstrosity city setting book came up. I dislike the planar closed thing and the extra moons thing and have never included them.Midgard has lots of really neat individual elements, multiple cultures of dwarves, their Baba Yaga stuff and her grudge against all gnomes that has driven them to be refugees, the fantasy middle eastern dragon empire, a vampire ruled horror land. Also a neat idea of gods using masks to fit into different cultures and various cultural pantheons so it is not clear which are truly accurate ideas about gods so it could be that Odin the Norse one-eyed all father with death magic is also Moradin the Dwarf All Father, and/or Gruumsh the one eyed spear wielding Orc warleader god, and/or Vecna the One-Eyed god of death magic and secrets. I have used the Baba Yaga gnome thing in my games, I use the masks theory as some in world theological speculation for my more Eberron cosmological setup and I have considered using the dragon empire as an over the border thing.Freeport is a D&D island trade city with a strong pirate past(?) and an undercurrent of Mythos cults. It also has loose history that ties well into the civil war. The <a href="https://www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/28322/pirate-s-guide-to-freeport?affiliate_id=17596" target="_blank">statless Pirate's Guide to Freeport </a>is very good with multiple city districts that are distinct and work together with a lot of narrative elements a DM could use as a basis to freeform adventuring in the city.</blockquote>
