I know Golarian is the planet on the prime material, but is there an interplanar city of trade? The City of Brass, basically.

The City of Brass exists in the Golarion-verse. Heaven also has a trade city.

Given Absalom's status as a premiere trade city on Golarion, I'd guess that Shadow Absalom is also a major trading center.

Not so much. Shadow plane stuff tends to be pretty isolationist and inward-focused. There's surely trade between it and other locations, particularly Absalom, but not nearly enough to count as significant. (If it WERE that significant, I suspect we would/should have been talking a lot more about Shadow Absalom than we have, but we haven't because it's not that significant.)

1 person marked this as a favorite.

There are a few other planar trade cities:
Axis at the base of Pharasma's Spire
Vialesk on the elemental plane of Water
The Veiled Bazaar on the Ethereal Plane, where souls and stranger things are traded
Dis on the second layer of hell, not a great place, but commerce does happen there
The Witch Market which is sometimes in the First World and sometimes on Golarion

Good to know. Thank you.
