Palanthas is a city on the planet Krynn in Krynnspace.
First founded by the Tarsian survivors of a shipwreck around 2,000 PC near a beach after making a pact with pirates, the city of Bright Horizon (as it was first known) developed around the Tower of High Sorcery of Palanthas.
The city itself consists of two different sections: the original Old City, which has the shape of a wheel where the palace is situated at the center and where the Tower of High Sorcery was originally; and New City, which consists of small houses constructed after the edification of the Old City.
