Arcadia, Azlant, Southern Garund, Casmaron, the Crown of the World, Sarusan and Tian Xia are all continents surrounding Avistan and of course, can be explored by the PCs at their leisure. However, aside from Tian Xia, the other continents barely have information on WHAT to expect. Are there civilized lands or are they barren?
Furthermore, what's the actual political relationship between them? For instance, Tian Xia is the continent that got so far the most lore, thanks to the Dragon Empire booklets. The problem is that aside from common deities in their pantheon, nothing is explained much about the relationship between them and the Inner Seas. Are we talking about peaceful, strained or hostile relationships?

I hope we get some gazetters of other lands beyond the Inner Sea. Distant Shores is one of my most favorite books to come out this year in a long time, since it gives us a glimpse of the interesting world beyond the Inner Sea. But the problem with it is, that you can't really set an adventure in any of the cities featured (save for maybe the hobgoblin city) since you don't have much information of the surrounding lands, so it's difficult to do any adventures other than maybe urban-based ones.
Maybe some continents are too big to be covered by one book. I wouldn't mind if they did a series focusing on a specific regions of other continents rather than the continents as a whole, like for example Southwestern Garund, Southeastern Garund, Northern Arcadia, Southern Arcadia, Kelesh, Northern Casmaron, Eastern Casmaron, Vudra etc.

Strange Aeons will visit visit Casmaron and should contain a gazeteer for a new region of that place, the Parched Lands
We are getting a Quadira CS book soon and should have some more general info on the Padisha Empire in general, although I don't think it's going into the other satrapies or what not.
I think that is it as far as I know for already announced stuff, although I bet the Horror CS book for Horror Adventures will have at least one location outside of Avistan.
