	In the [[Pathfinder]] setting, the City of Brass featured prominently in the Legacy of Fire adventure path, where the PCs are trapped in an enemy fortress within the city and are tasked with recovering an artifact known as the Impossible Eye. A unique feature is that the foundations of the city are living brass, a metal created from the souls of mortals who made terribly-worded Wishes. The city is ruled by a tyrannical grand sultan, but his vizier holds just as much power unofficially and the two spent lifetimes scheming to upend each other.

	[[Jeff Grubb]] in [[Manual of the Planes]] set the City on [[Elemental_Planes#Fire\|The Plane of Fire]] - for what we now call the [[Great Wheel]]. It's in a forty-mile diameter bubble. It is the capital-city of the [[efreet]]i, a race of fire-aligned [[genie]]s. This is often a place where adventurers will go to find magic items, because... well, efreetis. Likewise, it's a hub for interplanar trade.		[[Jeff Grubb]] in [[Manual of the Planes]] set the City on [[Elemental_Planes#Fire\|The Plane of Fire]] - for what we now call the [[Great Wheel]].

	Unusually for a planar location, which Wizards normally guards with jealous attention, the City of Brass also exists in [[Pathfinder]], and also on its Plane of Fire. This is likely due to a stray reference in the text for ''[[Unearthed Arcana]]'' and to the "Codex" entry in the [[Epic Level Handbook]], both released under the [[Open Gaming License]]. The former mentions a visit to "the City of Brass where they must bargain with an efreeti lord". As for the latter, it notes that the Codex has passed through its "fires".

	The City of Brass in [[Frog God Games]]' (at the time, Necromancer Games) Lost Lands Setting has a more overtly Islamic and Arabian backstory, where the city was originally a multi-cultural creation for the gods' children but the efreeti wanted it for themselves. They were cursed by Sulemein for this transgression, and the Grand Sultan seeks to avenge this dishonor and claim the legacy of godhood. Is notable in that the city is not in the Elemental Plane of Fire, but rather in a demiplane of its own sitting at a crossroads between the non-water Elemental Planes. Originally available for 3rd Edition [[D&D]], a KickStarter updated the book for 5th Edition and [[Swords & Wizardry]] along with a full level 1-20 adventure path.

	Secrets of the Lamp was the genie-centric sourcebook for [[Al-Qadim]], and as such it detailed the city along with an adventure set within. It is much more martial in nature, where districts are set up as military zones and colonies are maintained all around the Elemental Plane of Fire.
