There's also Gustenial (sp?) which underneath its ruins lies an under ground city ruled by Dregoth The Dread King.
As far as other city states I don't think there are any others.
There are old ruined citys like Bodach and Weaverly but I don't think they were "city-states" like the ones of the current era which/were ruled by SK.
Some of the modern ruins were city-states while others are from more ancient times, actual cities from an epoch whose cities weren't states.
Here's a quick list of ruins:
Yaramuke, home to sorcerer-queen Sielba, Destroyer of Pterrans
Giustenal, former home of Dregoth, Ravager of Giants, now undead king in the underground city of New Giustenal
Bodach, place of birth of Wyan, Pixie Blight
Arkhold, mmm...can't remember anything about it
Waverly, place of birth or former domain of Abalch-Re, Orc Plague, when she was known as Uyness
Yorum (no known location), place of birth or probable former domain of Myron, Troll Scorcher
Arala, (no known location), place of birth or probable former domain of Sacha, Curse of the Kobolds
Kalidnay, home to sorcerer-king Kalid-Ma, Tari Killer, before he turned mad in his bid for accelerated dragonhood and was killed by his peers
Island of Shault (no known name of ruins), there is an ancient elven city there
Othand, city upon which the Black Sand Raiders camp is built
Kemalok, ancestral home of dwarven kings situated under Kled village
Ebe (no known location), place of birth or probable former domain of Borys, Butcher of Dwarves
Tarelon, described in the Terrors of the Dead Lands accessory from athas.org, under the entry for the Meorty
City of 1000 Dead, in the Obsidian Plains
Celik, former jewel of the Green Age, no other information
Yithri, metropolis capital of the Tari race
Other locations exist, like Magehome, but with zero information released on them, we can't ascertain if they were cities or not.
Ebe (no known location), place of birth or probable former domain of Borys, Butcher of Dwarves
Ebe is the citadel in the Crimson Legion. I believe this is true, but it took me about 5 reads to finally pick up on it.

Of course, the official timeline disagrees with this, claiming that Ebe went under the silt or something.
Boo! Oh well, another inconsistency from not checking existing material.
(And before any newbies to the board ask: No, Athas, does not have any gods, nor has it ever. The people of the long-gone Green Age were simply delusional. They prayed to the elements, got cleric spells, and mistakenly assumed it was a god or gods granting them these spells. The elementals never bothered to rectify this mistake...)

That sounds like an awesome starting location for adventures. I don't know why I'm saying that, it just does. A thriving bandit camp situated on top of ancient ruins (ie: a big, fricking dungeon).
Ebe (no known location), place of birth or probable former domain of Borys, Butcher of Dwarves
There's a 'Net supplement that details the Silt Archipelago and gives it as the location of Ebe (or rather, former location, as it has sunk beneath the silt). Actually, the whole supplement is rather cool. It really expands the detail of Athas in good ways, without getting too weird (ex: Last Sea) or staying too close to established material (ie: a lot of net stuff seems like "the Tyr-region, with name changes!").
Other locations exist, like Magehome, but with zero information released on them, we can't ascertain if they were cities or not.
Magehome...sounds like the probable site of Rajaat's academy of magic during the Green Age!

Of course, we can't forget Godshome, the former Vatican City of Athas.
I checked to include Godshold in the list of ruin cities, but the descriptions say there is a temple there, no mention of a city or supporting infrasctructure, like in some egyptian religious cities.
Again, awsome, Thank You!

Cool! Never thought of that. I always saw the academy as a lame shack at the foot of the Pristine Tower that got razed when Rajaat closed shop at the beginning of the wars.

Slave Tribes has the main description of their base near Silver Spring. Dragon's Crown has full maps of the encampent, NPC info and details the dungeon beneath the camp.
...and the name of the ruined city they're sitting on.
I really like Fevil, Zeburon and Er-Thork and will convert them to 3.5/XPH...when I'll eventually figure out what I want to do with the secrets of the place: why so many undead, the extended catatombs, the evil god's worship and its link to the raaig, plus the Fevil/Er-Thork connection.
The Psionatrix scroll is found in the ruined city, dating the city to the green age when Godshold was influent: spin-off evil cult cast out by the Great Pantheon? Er-Thork and Fevil as upholders of god-worshiping even to this day? Recent connections to Dregoth, or long-standing one with the powers of the Obsidian Plains?

Ask Jon. :D
