Mentioned in Equal Rites, this walled town has a lively traders market. This town, on the higher reaches of the Ankh, 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.
