Nampata

Nampata lies on the Stygian River, two days’ travel east of the confluence of the Stygian and the Setesh River, west of where the Stygian curves around the northern margins of the Mutabar Hills. It is the capital of Khemit’s southernmost possession, the Nubiar Oversight, and the royal seat of the prince who governs it. (See “Nubiar Oversight” below for more information.)
The city has a prominent temple to Amun and a temple to Hapy; the god of the waters is as important to Nampata as he is to other cities north along the Stygian. A university, sponsored by the pharaoh, provides the training necessary to be a successful government scribe or scholar as well as instruction in a wide range of general knowledge. Being, as it is, at the end of a very long communications chain, Nampata is well-supplied with military units to protect the city in case of incursions by Qesh or Meroë, or rebellion by the local population. However, Nampata has been mostly peaceful for almost 100 years. Under those circumstances, it has grown prosperous from trade, including gold mined in the southern portion of the Geb-el-Mardikh Mountains and exotic items from Meroë, Aethiope, and other parts south.
