Mehtani Keys

The Mehtani Keys is situated at the southeastern end of Istan and is dotted with cays, small islands, and sandy beaches. There is a small Istani fishing village in the northernmost island, but overall, this area is populated by many unfriendly skale, hidden mandragors, and hostile plants. It is also frequented by corsairs engaged in shady dealings or as a good staging area from which to launch raids into Istani settlements.

Getting there
Characters will likely come here for the first time as part of the primary quest Isle of the Dead, which can be acquired after completion of the Jokanur Diggings mission.

Secondary quests that lead to this area from other locations include the Cyclone Palace, Corsair Invasion, and Double Dog Dare.
