Khorshemish, ‘the Queen of the South’ is a walled city of tall spires built on the crest of a sheer hill. The city is said to be a city of wonders, from the gold-chased gates to the palace itself.

King Khossus V built this city on the ruins of an older city after Acheron fell, over three thousand years ago. The first palace of Khossus V was built on the location of the Scarlet Citadel, but he
abandoned it and built another in the suburbs.

Finally, Khossus V moved the capital of Koth to a city in eastern Koth. King Akkutho
I decided to rebuild the Khorshemish palace many years later, building it into a fortress. The sorcerer Tsotha-lanti later built the
Scarlet Citadel with that fortress as its foundation. A forest lies to the east of the city.
