[QUOTE="Wicht, post: 6292402, member: 221"] Absalom does not feature prominently in the APs, but its pretty central to the setting and is the hub of the Organized Play adventures. For the APs, the Varisia area, of which the Lost Coast, containing Magnimar/Sandpoint, is the south-western portion, is rather significant. Varisia is the sight of the very first AP, Rise of the Runelords, a fact which of itself makes it an iconic locale. The next two APs were also centered in Varisia (Curse of the Crimson Throne; Second Darkness, though both went elsewhere for parts of the AP). Jade Regent begins in Varisia, and Shattered Star returns to Varisia for the entirety of the AP, being centered in Magnimar. So there are 2 APs entirely located in Varisia, two more that make major use of it, and a fifth that starts there, for a total of 5 out of the 14 known APs having significant reference to it. There are also several modules that make use of the area. And if someone were going "jump into the setting" I think Varisia is probably the best starting point. Edit: I would suggest for reference sake that Absalom is akin to the Waterdeep of Golarion (though the flavor is different) and that Varisia is the Shadowdale (though much larger in size, and again with a different flavor) [/QUOTE]
