<strong>Golarion.</strong>The third planet from the sun.  Most of Golarion's surface is covered in water spread out over five oceans and nine seas.  The landmass is broken up into eight continents.  Golarion has a 24 hour day, a seven day week (Moonday, Toilday, Wealday, Oathday, Fireday, Starday and Sunday), and a 52 week year broken up into 12 months corresponding to 12 deities.<br/><br/>Yep, just like Earth.<br/><br/><strong>The Inner Sea.</strong>It is one of the most heavily traveled and populated bodies of water in all of Golarion.<br/><br/>Think Mediterranean.<br/><br/><strong>The Isle of Kirtos.</strong>Situated in the center of the Inner Sea, the Isle of Kirtos is also the largest of the islands in this body of water.<br/><br/><strong>Absalom.</strong>It is also known as "the City at the Center of the World,"  and is situated on the southern coast of the Isle of Kirtos.  Absalom is a key location for commercial, military and religious purposes in the local area as well as the entire world.<br/><br/>For dates, years are counted from the time of the establishment of the city, the Absalom Reckoning (AR).  The importance and influence of Absalom upon the Inner Sea and the whole of Golarion cannot be overstated.<br/><br/>The large city is divided into 13 smaller districts.<br/><br/><strong>The Ascendant Court.</strong>One of Absalom's districts as well as the city's religious hub, the Ascendant Court is located at the center of "the City at the Center of the World."<br/><br/><strong>The Pleasure Salon of Calistria.</strong>Located in the Ascendant Court of Absalom is this temple of the goddess of lust, trickery and revenge.<br/><br/>The salon is a bright, well-kept building that blends in with the temples of other deities.  The sole hint at the nature of the salon's main form of worship is in the extensive reliefs that wrap the upper levels of the salon's exteriors, depicting dozens of comely humanoids (most humans and elves, but with a smattering of other races mixed in) engaged in enthusiastic, acrobatic and creative forms of promiscuity.<br/><br/>Within the salon, depictions of the same sort cover nearly every available surface, and many of these scenes focus on Calistria herself.  The main hall is always staffed with priests and prostitutes available for patrons or visitors.<br/>
