Anyone know of a resource that details Absalom down to great detail? The context is a Chelish Diva PC that wants to use the city as her home turf for the Famous ability, as opposed to some obscure town off somewhere that will never prove relevant in PFS OP.
Surely at 1st level you can't claim the whole city, but I don't see any reason why you can't have the turf centered on some opera house and eventually expand to that entire district, then a few districts, then tne entire city eventually.
As reasonable as that idea sounds to me, it brings me to my original question. Anyone know of anything that lists the canonical populations of neighborhoods/districts of Absalom?
I'm assuming there is no such resource (at that level of detail) so that raises an anticipated question.. how best to handle a Chelish Diva based in Absalom for PFS? Assume some GM determined, but arbitrary % chance any given scenario set in Absalom that the Diva's Fame has preceeded her?

Stuff
Pathfinder Society Field Guide details the different parts of the city of Absalom. I believe the Ivy District is home to most of the city's theaters and arts (starts on p. 7).
Also, if you want you can use your character's Fame score to help dictate how renowned your character is among your faction and among the theater going populace. In the downtime between scenarios, thats when you say you spend your time performing and attain greater notoriety.

Or there's the Guide to Absalom... I highly recommend it. I found Owen's take on the city and flavor really telling. It's one of my favorite city guides they've done.

Interesting.. but does it give breakdowns for example, which neighborhoods are smaller than 1,000? (the limit for 1st level Divas) I'm hesitant to buy it for the population breakdowns only to find out it's not in there.

It breaks the city down by districts and details some of the more prominent businesses/buildings (some of them being theatres/opera/play houses) in the district. I can't remember if it gives population breakdowns by district or not.
It doesn't break it down to neighborhood level, that I do know. The city has over 300k people, so breaking it down to that much detail would have produced a ginormous book =p. Still, it's the most detailed look at Absalom to date.

It breaks the city down by district and has cost of living by district but not population.
You would have to tell your GM that your reputation has started to grow in the Petal District after you preformed at the Magpie Manor and let him or her take it from there.
It is a great book and if you want a reference for Absalom it has a wealth of information, but not so much that it steps on the GM's toes.
