Parsantium: City at the Crossroads is a fantasy city sourcebook for use with all editions of the world’s bestselling fantasy RPGs. You can buy Parsantium in PDF and print at drivethrurpg.com.
Parsantium is a melting pot, a cosmopolitan city where trade routes meet and where great cultures collide. Inspired by Byzantium with its rich Greco-Roman heritage, Parsantium incorporates characters, monsters and magic from the Tales of the Arabian Nights, ancient India, and the Far East alongside more traditional European fantasy elements. There are evil cults and exotic gods, unscrupulous politicians and nobles, scheming rakshasas and serpentfolk, ancient dungeons beneath the city streets, powerful criminal gangs, gladiators and chariot racing. Parsantium contains enough adventure hooks, patrons and adversaries to keep your player characters busy throughout their careers without having to venture outside the city walls.
Parsantium: City at the Crossroads contains minimal game stats, making it easy to use with whatever edition of D&D or Pathfinder you are playing.

- 2,000 years of history
- 17 character backgrounds for new PCs
- Over 70 detailed city locations

“Parsantium BREATHES authenticity and love – New York City meets Byzantium, modern metropolis meets swords & sorcery – this book actually manages to portray a believable, interesting, unique city that oozes the spirit of Al Qadim, early weird fiction and recent phenomena like the god of war-series, all while staying believable.” Endzeitgeist
Parsantium is available to buy at drivethrurpg.com, Bookshop.org, amazon.co.uk, amazon.com, paizo.com and Open Gaming Store.
