		+	===Nithy-Vash===
		+	Nithy-Vash is a small town with squat cottages and many warehouses. The chief businesses are fishing and trade. In Nithy-Vash stands the only known temple of [[Sthood]]. Sthood's temple is a modest building of unadorned stone work with large bronze doors, which are always closed, and stands at the end of the row of temples. It is largely shunned by the populace of Nithy-Vash, and its existence is not widely known beyond the walls of the town. This is as the priests of Sthood desire, for their priesthood is devoted to shielding mankind from Sthood’s attention. Nithy-Vash is also the home of [[Yah-Vho]], a master sculptor known as the Maker of Gods, and [[Getech]], a notable merchant. (Gary Myers)

-===Myngar===
+===Zulan-Thek===
-Long ago, Myngar was a mighty city, old even as the wandering herdsmen were founding the cities of Kadatheron, Thraa and Ilarnek. It was ruled over by King Kynaratholis — a good king, but he longed to rule all the Dreamlands. He rode forth from his city at the head of his armies and for many years he was away, fighting and conquering. When he returned, victorious, he found that the gods were displeased with him and had laid ruin to his land. It is said that Kynaratholis died on the spot from grief at what at befallen his beloved homeland. Those few who venture to the ruins say that his ghost still roams the old city.  (?)
+Zulan-Thek was once a mighty city which stood at the edge of the Forbidden Lands, at the end of the caravan route from Gak. The folk of that city feared the Night and kept their doors and windows tightly barred after dark lest the shades of night enter. They also feared their dead and placed their bodies into vast underground crypts on the plain beyond the city. They were wise to do so, but did not guard their dead well enough. A necromancer named Zhosph was able to escape the prison of his moldering bones. He then struck a bargain with the Night. In exchange for his continued existence, he would deliver unto the Night the entire city of Zulan-Thek, which had executed him for his queer delvings.  And thus it was that the fate of the people of Zulan-Thek was sealed as Night came to their city and feasted well upon their terror-filled souls. Now all that remains of Zulan-Thek are the ruins of the city and the crypts.  (Gary Myers, "The Return of Zhosph")

 ===Hazuth-Kleg===
 Hazuth-Kleg is a run-down, dingy city of twisting streets and decaying houses. Its basalt towers reach skyward as if in supplication to the gods for salvation. Yet, this city venerates no wholesome gods. Along its Street of the Pantheon are many temples to various disreputable gods which most deny. It is a city best forgotten, and avoided by most. The city has no ruler, and no law, making it a veritable haven for smugglers, thieves, and slavers. The black galleys of Leng are some of the few ships which make this one of their ports of call.  It has a few notable features: its Street of the Pantheon, a dingy street full of shrines dedicated to abominable gods; the house of Skaa the Witch on that street, the Temple of Unattainable Desires across from Skaa's house, and the entrance to the City Which Appears On No Map, found within the Temple.
