Kheshatta

Kheshatta, called the City of Magicians, is a city in southern Stygia on the caravan route to Kush, and the seat of the sorcerous Black Ring.

Kheshatta, the city of magicians, was first mentioned in Robert E. Howard's tale The Vale of Lost Women.

The city lies in southern Stygia on a caravan route to Kush. It is nominally ruled by a governor sent from Luxur, but in practice the sorcerer Thoth-amon and the Black Ring hold the true power. Mongoose Publishing's Stygia - Serpent of the South gives the city a population of some 12,563 across 68 acres, and names Lake Nafrini and a Temple of Set among its landmarks.
