Mentioned in Equal Rites, the walled town of Zemphis has a lively traders' market. The city is located located on the river Ankh where three overland trade routes meet. Due to the amount of trade passing through the town is built around a large central square which is part exotic traffic jam and part tent city. This town is where Eskarina Smith parted company with the Zoons after being forced to tell the Tribal Liar a half-truth about the business over the spircles. She sought refuge with an overland caravan, departing for Ankh-Morpork via the Paps of Scilla.
Zemphis is revisited in Raising Steam and is described, by Samuel Vimes, as a behavioural sink in dire need of Law. Vimes is looking forward to the day when Vetinari decides the town should be brought under Ankh-Morporkian law, freeing him to go there and legitimately interfere. For now, he is content to note this as a future possibility, as he has more important things to prioritise first.
Downsized Abbey is a local marketplace for just about anything that can be bought and sold. This is in all probability the location of the "lively traders' market" referenced in Equal Rites.
