Mampang is a citadel in High Xamen, an area in the Old World. It is ruled by the Archmage.
History[]
Mampang has historically been ruled by powerful sorcerers. The most recent archmage ruler took great pains to make the citadel more restricted from the outside world than ever, and is renowned for his callous lack of presence. He is well regarded by some in Mampang and despised above all by others.
Geography[]
Mampang is separated even from within, with its residents making little contact with each other. It is surrounded by a huge wall with a single central gate, and then another gate walls off the inner city from the outer. The inner city is surrounded by dangerous abandoned magical colleges, and in the centre of the citadel stands the Archmage's fortress.
Narrative Role[]
The Analander finally reached Mampang in Sorcery! 4: The Crown of Kings. They retrieved the Crown of Kings from the Archmage, achieving this by travelling through Mampang, sneaking past the two outer walls and then into the fortress itself.
