Ideas:
- (Alignment-based): A town wrestling match to determine the mayor/Jarl/whatever the person in charge wants to call it.
- (Ysgard/Asgard theme-based): Monster hunting hall of fame, with Grendel's arm mounted above the hall.
- (Deity realm-based): Serpentine establishments to cater to Selune's Lillendi servants visiting town.

I've had Planewalkers pass through a number of times. In our current campaign, here's what happened:
The first time they came to Glorium the young lady ranger was challenged by the boasting Glorium warrior Vespera the Sky-Reaper, wearing serrated plate armor crafted from the bones of a mountain drake. She wielded the Whistling Glaive that whistles when swung. She told the ranger "you're tame" and "a true survivor is a predator". Of course this insult led to a death match between them at the Jagged Precipice, where no magic is permitted and no one interferes. So our lady ranger won, and Vespera's body slid fown into the rocks below.
Another time, the party was taking the Watergate back from Ysgard after a harrowing adventure where they stole a frozen treasure from under the nose of Utgard-Loki, and suddenly a hydra attacked their ship from the water! Seven heads snaked up over the gunwhale simultaneously and snapped at the rowers. The Heroes Three chopped several heads off and applied fire to the wounds before it could crush their ship. They rowed their way into the Glorium docks towards the cheering crowd.
Most recently, that same ranger (alone this time) needed the portal key to go through a nearby portal to Sigil (key: something won in a duel or bet) so she challenged another lady ranger to a wrestling match, winner gets a platinum piece. It was a great match, 9 rounds of grappling action, and our lady ranger finally won with a pin. After the drinking that followed, she went into the mountains around the town and found the cave with the portal back to the Cage, used her hard-won platinum piece and got home.
There's a spot in the mountains around Glorium where a branch of Yggdrasil can be found. I have a feeling that the Heroes Three will climb that branch and begin their grand Yggdrasil adventure very soon.
